Malaysian designer says Fan Bingbing’s datukship attire reflects her ‘elegance’
The Chinese star’s mint-green outfit by Melinda Looi blends Malaysian tradition with modern flair, celebrating women’s empowerment
The actress stepped out in a bespoke creation by renowned local designer Melinda Looi, who reimagined the traditional baju kurung with a contemporary flair.
Crafted in a delicate mint-green hue, the outfit was paired with a matching selendang.
The baju kurung featured an asymmetrical drape flowing over the shoulder, accented with lace that symbolised the waves of the Malacca Strait, while subtle touches of pink were woven in to celebrate Fan’s latest achievement.
According to Looi, the ensemble stood as both a tribute to Fan’s datukship (similar to a knighthood) and a statement of women’s empowerment in the creative industry.
“The design reflects her refined elegance, blending timeless tradition with modern sophistication,” she remarked.
