Actresses wearing cat ears

Zhang Jingchu and Sammi Cheng each decided to wear a hat with cat ears, one at the airport the other at a fashion event. I don't know if this is the start of trend, but if it is there have been worse celebrity inspired clothing trends.

Beijing Second International Film Festival Red Carpet

The red carpet area at the Beijing International Film Festival was HUGE with enough space to land a 747 without disturbing things. Fan Bingbing looked magnificent in a blood red, floor length gown with a beaded lace insert along with kitschy (but very expensive) Judith Leiber pagoda evening bag.

Dennis Lee has a stack of FBB images from this event.

Zhang Jingchu looked great in a strapless dress--or would have if the designer hadn't gone nuts and included a the biggest bow of the season.

The only thing bigger was Nicky Wu's pompadour.

Getting prepped backstage.

Zhang Xin Yi brightened things up in a color block halter dress and electric hair.

Huo Siyan in a gorgeous floral print gown--floral designs can be chancy, either too fussy or too much like granny's living room curtains but when the designer hits it right (which D&G did here) it really works. The jeweled maroon belt was a perfect accessory.

Andy Lau, Zhang Jingchu, Lin Chi-ling and the gang in Dubai

"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", slated to be shot in Dubai, Hangzhou, Fuyang, Taipei, Tokyo and Milan is a big deal; it is the first major Chinese film to be predominantly produced outside China. The cast and crew were in Dubai to assure the powers that be in the capital of the United Arab Emirates that their city wouldn't get the "Mission Impossible 4" treatment: no camels in the streets, no sandstorms, just "the real fantasy world that Dubai is" according to director Sun Jianjun.

It's good to be Andy Lau. He is flanked here by Lin Chi-ling and Zhang Jingchu.

Lin Chi-ling left her voice in Taiwan or lost it on the way to the Emirates so she was limited to looking lovely while not saying anything.

Zhang Jingchu in Paris

Zhang Jingchu brought her dimples to a photoshoot in Paris. The Photoshop operator filled them in by riding the Gaussian blur until her skin looked like molded plastic. Just about impossible to cover up her striking beauty, though.

Sun Fei-Fei's clothing ripped off onstage; the show goes on

"Esquire" magazine had its annual bash in Beijing at Tsinghua University. Sun Fei-Fei suffered from a living nightmare as her dress was stepped on as she was walking on stage. The stepper, identified only as "the host" (as far as I could tell) looked a bit too maliciously gleeful in some of the pictures from the event. As you can imagine they are everywhere in the Chinese entertainment press.
It looks as if she decided to keep standing on Sun Fei-Fei's dress until it fell off.

The final result.

The way she looked before the mishap.

Her assistant earned an entire year's salary, moving quickly with a blanket--and having one close at hand or knowing where one gets a blanket backstage at a big event.

Award shows stop for no one, though. The parade of singers, TV and movie stars and the occasional accused fraudster continued. Dresses stayed on; the only really odd thing was that it looked as if everyone decided to wear the same nude platform pumps, no matter if they matched their outfit which they generally did not.

Gallen Lo and his wife Sophie Su Yan go for a controlled wardrobe malfunction but couldn't compete with the real thing.

Ifeng has lots of pictures; Yahoo China has two articles, one of Sun Fei-Fei and one covering everyone else. Also CRI, Xinhau and lots more.

Charlene Choi with pig purse, Zhang Jingchu luxury brand mystery solved

Charlene Choi paired an extremely short skirt with insane looking stilettos for Anteprima, a handbag and accessory company based in Hong Kong and Milan. They have a whimsical and impractical line of animal shapes in their Wirebag collection including this pig:

Even though the Anteprima show at the Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012 featured Hello Kitty carrying one of their bags it isn't all animals:

Whatever one might think of As Sa's shoes, wearing heels like that as one approaches 30 is a great way to insure intractable back pain in years to come.

Also on the handbag front Zhang Jingchu was in Paris with a bunch of other A-list celebs to help Lancel celebrate its 135 years of making purses:
