Yao Chen lights up New York

Yao Chen was in New York for Fashion Week and had her picture taken in front of a NYC taxi .

She looked great in a T-shirt with a vertigo-inducing pattern and skinny black leather pants. Here she is backstage at the Vera Wang show with the labelled stations for the garments for each model in the background.

With Vera Wang her new BFF.

Yao Chen and Vera Wang flank Andre Leo Talley, Vogue editor at large (very large) and Jabba the Hut impersonator. While neither is particularly tall and both are quite slim, the women look like Hummel figurines next to a beached whale in this shot

All over the place in the Chinese entertainment press. I saw them first at Xinhua.
