Met Gala, Charity Ball at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Scheduled to take place in early May, the ball is the most grand evening in the fashion industry, and the red carpet part of the annual charity party is known as the "Oscar of fashion", with admission to up to $25,000.
On May 3, the Met Gala red carpet returned, the foreign fashion circle suddenly boiled, and the news about the Met Gala was also one after another on the foreign news headlines.
If you're also following the Met Gala, you're sure to brush up on the coolly dressed Frog Princess Gu Ailing and an obscure Chinese supermodel, He Cong.
Who is He Cong? According to the data, she was born in 1995, and in 2015, she just turned 20 years old and won more than ten brand endorsements on the international stage, and in 2019, she was listed in the list of China's top ten international models issued by Forbes.
He Cong has fair skin and a superior body proportion. As one of the few Chinese mainland female models of the night at the Met Gala, she wore a custom metal silver shoulder dress that earned her eyeballs.

You may not know that many foreign audiences have expressed their love for He Cong.
Some foreign netizens said, "I like your skirt, you let that night shine." ”
Some foreign netizens were fascinated: "It's so good-looking..."
More foreign netizens directly fanned the Chinese girl: "You are one of my favorite supermodels, but I don't know how to read your name (Hecong), please tell me, otherwise I won't be able to introduce you to my friends... I love the delicate and soft sense of ambience in you. ”
Under the hot discussion, He Cong has a reputation: Oriental porcelain dolls.
However, it is such a Hunan girl who has been among the world's top 50 supermodels for many years and favored by various first-line big-name designers, but few people in China know about it, because she does not participate in variety shows and rarely does marketing.
When some domestic netizens first saw He Cong, they also specifically said: Although this is the appearance of Chinese, the face is not the aesthetic preference of the Chinese public.

Does He Cong's face not conform to the Chinese public aesthetic?
For a long time, there seems to be a big gap between the Chinese models voted by foreign big names with their feet and the aesthetics of the domestic public. As a result, opposing squinting and stereotyping once formed a trend on the domestic Internet, and then as long as they encounter domestic supermodels, many netizens are easy to think that international big names are engaged in "aesthetic exploitation".
However, Xun Mei felt that although He Cong did not have the femininity of an ancient Chinese woman from the inside out, he did not belong to the squinting appearance that deliberately catered to Western aesthetics.
To be precise, she looks like a young girl with an authentic Chinese temperament.
Therefore, no matter how tepid He Cong is in China, we should all be proud that she represents Chinese girls at the forefront of global fashion, even if you think her looks are not as good as most of the first-line female stars in China.
Come on, He Cong!
