Eileen Zhang once described a woman wearing a cheongsam as follows: "A cheongsam shines on the water, and half of her life is desolate and peerless." This sentence can be said to describe the surprise and style of the cheongsam very accurately.
The cheongsam formed in the 20s of the last century was all the rage, from popular female stars wearing cheongsam in movies. For example, Maggie Cheung played the Shanghai female star Ruan Lingyu in the movie "Ruan Lingyu".
When it comes to Shanghai celebrities, fashion women keep up with trends, such as Zhu Zhu's role of Lan Xinjie in "Rebel", who ostensibly identifies herself as a department store saleswoman, with short wavy hair and a cheongsam, outlining a delicate curve.
Finally, it gradually evolved into the daily wear of women at that time, almost everyone. For example, Xu Qing played Tang Fengyi, a famous woman in Beijing in the movie "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice". They all show the classical beauty of oriental women to the fullest through the cheongsam.
So why are there fewer women wearing cheongsam now? The first is naturally that the cheongsam is not very suitable for modern daily work, and second, because the cheongsam is not something that everyone can control, it picks people - in addition to picking the figure, but also picking the temperament.
Therefore, don't look at the actresses almost all have cheongsam styles, but there are not many who really wear the essence and essence. Today, we will take a look at which actress can wear the cheongsam with style.
10. It has its shape, less of its taste - Song Yi
Song Yi is a rare young actress who can make people shine in wearing a cheongsam. In "The Pretender", Song Yi tried multiple sets of cheongsam looks, and each set was different.
The following light-colored embroidered wide sleeves cheongsam can be said to be the first choice for young women, the design of the butterfly sleeves weakens the mature and sexy impression of the cheongsam itself, adds a bit of well-behaved, can make the wearer look particularly delicate and cute, Song Yi wears this piece has a feeling of a Republican female student.
The same light embroidery, change the sleeve shape, give people a completely different temperament. After narrowing the cuffs, the whole cheongsam looks mature and delicate, which can better reflect the feminine temperament.
The dark printed cheongsam will make the wearer's temperament appear more restrained and calm, and it must be matched with curls or large wavy curls to hold it. The calm of the dark color and the delicate elegance of the cheongsam itself form a strong sense of contradiction, which is very much in line with the identity of the "pretender".
After the broadcast of "The Pretender", Song Yi also won the title of "Cheongsam Goddess" because of these stunning cheongsam shapes. However, if you nitpick, her control of the cheongsam still stays on the shape, slightly lacking in the background, in the final analysis, it is because she is too young, and her temperament lacks the precipitation of the years.
9. Beautiful on the outside, ruthless on the inside - Zhang Ziyi
The qipao also often appears in Zhang Ziyi's movies. The most impressive thing is the black long-sleeved cheongsam in "Grandmaster of the Generation".
Because Zhang Ziyi's Gong Er in the film is a person who practices martial arts and often has to use some fists and feet, her cheongsam is looser than others, and the cheongsam played by Mrs. Ip Man played by Song Huiqiao in the movie is more close.
In terms of color, it is also a plain design with white edges on a black background. This body can be said to subvert everyone's understanding of the cheongsam, it completely conceals the curvaceousness of the cheongsam, showing the temperament of a generation of grandmasters.
Especially when this cheongsam is in the same frame as an ordinary cheongsam, this momentum is even more obvious.
Perhaps, the plain cheongsam is not as flamboyant as other cheongsam, but it is definitely the existence of the town.
In "The History of the Demise of Romance", Zhang Ziyi's cheongsam appearance is also unique.
The cheongsam above adopts the most common small polka dot pattern, the subtlety is all in the cut, and the lines of the whole dress after wearing Zhang Ziyi are like flowing clouds and water, without a trace of folds, simple and capable.
Compared with the big polka-dotted colorful cheongsam worn by Xiao Wu played by Zhong Xintong in the same film, it is less soft and tough, which can be said to wear a kind of external beauty and inner ruthless charm. In addition, the same polka-dot plain cheongsam, in "Heirloom", Wu Jinyan wears it compared with Zhang Ziyi and Zhong Xintong, and owes some classical temperament.
8, the dark tide is turbulent, seducing to the bone - Tang Wei
Tang Wei is recognized as a beauty with oriental charm, her facial features are round, her temperament is restrained, it can be said that she is the best candidate to wear cheongsam by nature. Tang Wei's appearance in the cheongsam in the movie "Color Ring" did not disappoint in every piece.
The dark blue, lily-style cheongsam below was beautifully worn by Tang Wei.
Tang Wei looks good in cheongsam, and when she makes some very ancient movements, she vividly reflects the oriental beauty of the cheongsam, and Eileen Zhang's "Flowers and Water" has a specific image at this moment.
The striped cheongsam below has a more modern beauty, elegant and fashionable, even if it is placed today, it is not outdated at all.
In my personal opinion, Tang Wei can be said to be the actress who wears the cheongsam the most charming.
7, small and exquisite, everyone is beautiful - Zhou Xun
Zhou Xun is petite, but in the movie "The Wind", Zhou Xun used his posture to prove that small women can also wear cheongsam very beautifully. In the movie, she played Gu Xiaomeng who can wear a cheongsam out of the texture of everyone's beauty.
You can also wear it to "drink and jump".
Not less sexy and seductive.
Please note that the above three pieces are the same set of cheongsam, but they are worn by Zhou Xun with a completely different temperament and style. In contrast, in the drama version of "The Wind", the cheongsam design on Gu Xiaomeng, played by Xu Lu, is slightly exaggerated.
There is no Zhou Xun who dresses brilliantly, nor is it as good as Li Ningyu, played by Yongshan in the Chinese of the play. Zhou Xun allows us to see that although she is small and delicate, the cheongsam is interpreted as an infinite possibility on her.
6, ancient style, graceful and atmospheric - Qin Lan
When "Heirloom" was broadcast, Qin Lan's cheongsam once aroused heated discussions among netizens. Because the cheongsam she wears is not the same as our usual style.
The cheongsam that everyone usually sees is waist-cinched, after all, the beauty of the cheongsam lies in its flowing cut. But in "Heirloom", Qin Lan's cheongsam is all loose versions, and it can only be vaguely seen from the small standing collar, disc buckles and other details that this is a cheongsam.
At the beginning, everyone said that this drama was not sophisticated, and even the style of the cheongsam was wrong. Later, I learned that it turned out that it was not that it was not exquisite, but too particular, and it unveiled an unknown history of the development of the cheongsam. In fact, when the cheongsam was first born, it was as loose as Qin Lan wore in the play, and sometimes it was even split, with a jacket and a skirt style.
It wasn't until the 40s that the cheongsam gradually evolved into what we are familiar with today.
Therefore, Qin Lan is actually wearing an orthodox cheongsam, and Qin Lan's wonderful interpretation also allows the audience to see the quiet beauty of this ancient cheongsam.
After the drama was broadcast, there was also a wave of loose versions of the cheongsam.
Compared with Qin Lan, another actor in the play, Wu Jinyan, she belongs to the same petite and delicate figure as Zhou Xun, but her cheongsam style is slightly stingy, giving people the feeling that children can't support it in adult clothes.
5, cold as frost, half a life desolate - Yuan Quan
Yuan Quan belongs to the type of ice beauty, so when she wears the cheongsam, she also brings the temperament of the cheongsam a lot cold.
The cheongsam itself has an ancient charm, and when a person with a story in his eyes wears it, then this ancient charm will be infinitely amplified. Especially this moon-white cheongsam in "Greater Shanghai" may be beautiful when worn on others, but wearing it on Yuan Quan is more poignant.
Compared with the film, Tong Fei, who is younger and has a plump body, is much more stylish.
Other styles of cheongsam have the same effect on Yuan Quan, you will no longer pay attention to whether the cheongsam fits or not, and you will not care whether the pattern is good-looking.
You will only feel that such an ice beauty wearing a cheongsam is full of tears, which makes people feel a "half-life desolate and peerless" beauty.
4, a variety of styles, born to be charming - Ni Ni
Among all the actresses, Ni Ni's interpretation of the cheongsam is the boldest one, and she uses her self-confidence to dig out the charm in the cheongsam.
In "Jinling Thirteen", the thick and colorful cheongsam played by Ni Ni is rarely buttoned, and it is always half-open, deliberately revealing the smell of wind and dust.
Even if she obediently fastens the buttons, her standing posture is extremely enchanting, showing the curves of the body outlined by the cheongsam to the audience, and the cheongsam on Yumo is flattering from the bones.
Even if she wears a plain cheongsam and sits on the boat as a "gatekeeper", Ni Ni's every move shows the softness of the water village woman.
Her confidence in her figure and posture and the cheongsam itself are blended, no matter how you wear it, it will make people feel that this is the most suitable clothes for her, in fact, many people lack this confidence when wearing cheongsam.
3. New cheongsam, new beauty - Jing Tian
A "Siten" not only made Jing Tian's career reach a new peak, but also made people discover that she was so suitable for wearing a cheongsam.
But in this drama, Jing Tian is not wearing a traditional style of cheongsam, but a modern version that has been improved, which is more suitable for young people's aesthetics. Just like the following set, although she wears a regular cheongsam inside, the stylist has put on a shawl with tassels for her to add a sense of fashion.
For example, the following one, it does not use the brocade or cotton cloth commonly used in cheongsam, but boldly adds tulle and makes the cheongsam into two layers, so that the already curvy figure has a hazy sense of looming.
There is also this one, which changes the diagonal design of the cheongsam in the past, adds elements of Hanfu, and the symmetrical collar is full of ancient style, which is also eye-catching.
2. The classic of the classics - Maggie Cheung
When it comes to actresses in cheongsam, Maggie Cheung and her "In the Mood for Love" can never be bypassed. According to statistics, Maggie Cheung changed a total of 23 sets of cheongsam in this movie, which is completely a complete cheongsam award.
The reason why Maggie Cheung's cheongsam looks good is first of all due to her figure. A cheongsam was worn on her, and the front looked curvy.
Looking sideways, the convex convexity, the upturned upturn.
After Maggie Cheung wears the cheongsam, she looks even taller than Tony Leung, which is the spirit of the cheongsam.
However, the reason why Maggie Cheung's cheongsam is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people lies in the sense of sophistication she conveys through the cheongsam.
This sense of sophistication does not just refer to clothes and personal images, but to an attitude towards life, even if her life is a mess, she will always comb her hair meticulously and iron her cheongsam without a trace of folds.
1. The internationally renowned cheongsam spokesperson - Gong Li
In the movie "Overlord Farewell Ji", Gong Li's style is very stunning.
Seeing Gong Li's white cheongsam shape, I knew what it meant to be filial piety. Wearing this body, it is really a person like its name "Ju Xian" - there is the elegance of chrysanthemum, the aura of immortals.
Changing into a broken qipao has become the temperament of Hua Kui to look at all sentient beings.
A cheongsam in "Eros" surprised everyone even more.
Gong Li not only wears cheongsam in the play, but also her favorite outside the play. Gong Li has participated in many international film festivals, more than half of which appeared in the shape of a qipao, which can be said to show the qipao culture in front of foreign media.
Gong Li belongs to a large skeleton woman, and she has always been relatively plump compared to other actresses, so she wears a cheongsam, and the visual effect is particularly good.
Moreover, the cheongsam worn by Gong Li is not limited to traditional styles, and she often wears some improved versions of the cheongsam. For example, the following two cheongsam have been modified with the collar, and the design of the deep V is closer to the modern evening dress.
Perhaps under Gong Li's international influence, nowadays, the qipao has been known and loved by more and more Western actresses. There are many Hollywood stars who have also tried wearing cheongsam.
Emma Watson, who played Hermione in "Harry Potter", once wore a white embroidered cheongsam, but she obviously did not grasp the essence of the cheongsam to be cut closely, so she failed to wear that tightness, almost a little hot.
Anne Hathaway's cheongsam is also wrinkled and lacks the sophistication that a cheongsam should have.
Rachel in "Friends" also wore a cheongsam, except for more pleats, Rachel can be said to have mastered the essence of the eight points of the cheongsam.
The best dressed is Oscar actress Nicole Kidman. Although she is an improved version of the cheongsam, she wears the essence of the cheongsam, which is quite charming.
Nicole Kidman's other cheongsam looks are also dressed in style, and she is probably the best-looking foreign actress who wears a cheongsam.
It is also a matter of pride to see more and more foreigners falling in love with our cheongsam. In recent years, there has been a trend of Hanfu on the streets, and many young people are willing to try traditional Hanfu, and you can often see little girls wearing Hanfu on the street. I hope that one day, a cheongsam wind will also blow.
