Preface
The annual film and television red carpet ceremony has always been the focus of the fashion circle.
Movie stars show off their elaborate costumes and jewellery under the flash, revealing the latest fashions to the world.
However, when an accident happened to this fashion feast, and the red carpet "pictorial" that the audience originally expected became a "strange talk", we can't help but ask - is there a problem with the stylist's aesthetics, or is the star's own taste really unflattering? Is this year's red carpet a "fashion show" or a "local exhibition"?
One
On the red carpet of the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards, the actress Zhou Bichang, who should have been radiant, unexpectedly became the target of public criticism with a double embarrassment.
The first discomfort was her stiff arms and shoulders, which resembled plaster sculptures, in contrast to the light and graceful gauze gown.
What's even more staggering is that there were two actresses wearing the same dress that night! Compared with the dazzling beauty of the other actress, Zhou Bichang looked pale and extremely incongruous.
Zhou Bichang has gained a firm foothold in the film and television industry with his strength over the years, representing the complete transformation of Mesozoic actresses from their first marriage to mature charm.
Now that she has suffered a double blow of hitting the door and poor facial condition, one can't help but wonder if she is facing a bottleneck in her career.
First, in recent years, the film and television market has higher and higher requirements for the appearance of actresses, and in the face of a shortage of young people, Zhou Bichang may have fallen into confusion and anxiety.
Second, as a senior actress, it is also worth reflecting on whether the studio and the stylist team attach importance to her in decline.
There is a reason for it, and we should not rush to blame, but care for and support her to start anew.
It is also an embarrassing reward to join in the fun.
Two
At the Hong Kong Film Awards, pajamas are worn in intimate spaces, and well-designed red carpet dresses are the perfect time to show off your style and self to the public.
However, that night, an actress actually showed off in pajamas! Wearing a loose blue-green nightgown and green stockings, Yao Chen's style was completely defeated.
Yao Chen is known as "long legs" and has outstanding conditions.
But it has not been able to break through in image packaging, and there has always been a gap with the limelight of first-line actresses.
The mistake of the Academy Awards ruined the professional image she had established in the Hong Kong film industry.
The reason for this, in addition to the decline in judgment caused by too tight working hours, should also pay attention to her marginalization in the film and television industry.
The first-line actress is in the spotlight all the year round, eager for attention and affirmation, while Yao Chen has been in the second and third tier for a long time and has limited popularity.
This may have been her underlying motivation for finally choosing pajamas in full view.
Yellow clothes money, expensive and low are difficult to coordinate.
Three
The Cannes Film Festival is the world's biggest film festival.
A group of "A coffees" gathered, filmmakers gathered, and the focus of countless camera crosshairs is undoubtedly - can Reba's style be stunning and continue her hegemony in the fashion circle? However, the result of the night was shocking-Reba's dark yellow dress with a peculiar high-bun hairstyle makes people want to ask: Is this a big funder or a mother-in-law?
As a new generation of small flowers, Di Lieba has been in the limelight for a while.
It was expected that she would further gain international recognition at the Cannes Film Festival and consolidate her status as a film actress.
Who knew that an impulsive modeling experiment completely made her lose face in the European and American film industry.
This kind of performance of external strength and middle ability fully exposes that she still has great deficiencies in skills, and her understanding of Western aesthetics is also superficial.
Now if you want to regroup and make a comeback in Cannes, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult.
Four
The Shanghai International Film Festival is a grand event of film art.
But Guan Xiaotong, who showed off her style on the red carpet that night, had a pale face and short fluffy hair on her temples, like an annoying cockroach beard.
She was dressed in a rustic white shirt with flesh-colored leggings, like a cabbage freshly picked from a vegetable patch.
On his feet is a pair of bulky black platform sandals, which can't help but remind you of clams by the sea.
Guan Xiaotong's debut work is the costume comedy "The Legend of the Dynasty's Female Doctor Ming Concubine", playing the role of a female doctor Ming Concubine with a detached personality and informality.
Now she also shows her disdain for rules and established aesthetics on the red carpet, which fully reflects her out-of-the-box personal style.
This kind of revelation of true temperament may be more able to impress those viewers who are tired of cheating in the entertainment industry.
We should not judge her because of her novel looks, but encourage her to continue to explore herself and grow into a unique actress.
Five
Liu Yifei's punk dress was criticized, and unintentionally taking the fire is actually the norm, Busan International Film Festival.
That night, Liu Yifei's outfit was clearly inspired by punk style: leather pants, black boots and jacket, and a bold and exaggerated color scheme.
The original intention may be to break through the convention and show personality in line with the atmosphere of the film festival.
However, critics and netizens criticized her for being "earthy" and "cheap".
Liu Yifei herself did not respond publicly, and seemed to be unimpressed.
Liu Yifei is undoubtedly in terms of acting skills and popularity, but her personal style has always been the target of criticism by film critics and netizens.
Her informal personality seems to be incompatible with the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, so she can always easily attract criticism.
For Liu Yifei herself, it is no surprise to face such a scene, she has always done her own thing, and this time is no exception.
We don't need to force her to cater to the so-called "mainstream aesthetics", but we should call for a more enlightened and inclusive atmosphere in the circle, and give artists more freedom to explore their own style.
Epilogue:
Fashion, or "my" fashion?
This year, the red carpet looks of many actresses have caused controversy, some people bluntly said that they are so "earthy" that they can't look at it directly, and some people strongly support this as a rebellion and breakthrough against "mainstream aesthetics".
So the answer to the question is: is the fashion displayed on the red carpet to meet the expectations of the public, or to present itself?
Perhaps, after all, this is a question that cannot be judged by simple right or wrong.
Everyone's aesthetic and expression has its own internal logic, and we should respect this uniqueness.
But at the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to external feedback and make adjustments in public situations. This is the path that mature artists must take.
