Profile | Actress Zhong Chuxi is China’s new red carpet queen at Cannes for fashion sense, confidence
With 8.8 million followers online, fans admire her ‘wild, sexy, and graceful’ aesthetic, distinguishing her from other young stars
Chinese actress Zhong Chuxi has once again captivated social media with her stunning style at this year’s Cannes Film Festival red carpet.
The 32-year-old dazzled in two exquisite Elie Saab gowns – one at the L’Oreal Paris dinner honouring women filmmakers, and the other at the world premiere of the film Dossier 137.
This marks Zhong’s third appearance at the prestigious film festival as L’Oreal’s brand ambassador.
On Chinese social media, she received an outpouring of praise for her exceptional fashion sense and graceful posture. Many have dubbed her the new “red carpet queen”, succeeding fellow actress Fan Bingbing.
Unlike some celebrities labelled as “red carpet moochers”, who often attend film festivals without notable works, Zhong has maintained a positive public image.
Her acting career has garnered increasing recognition in recent years, thanks to stand-out performances in hit films and TV dramas such as Her Story (2024), Begin Again (2024), and Born to Run (2024).
