| Zhao Liying Debuts Dreamy Pink Hair: “Just Needed a Mood Lift” (Weibo/赵丽颖) |
Another pink moment on the hot search – and it’s Zhao Liying stealing the spotlight this time!
On 8 May, Zhao Liying popped up in a brand live stream looking like she’d stepped straight out of a dreamy manga panel – long flowing pink hair paired with a delicate white dress.
It wasn’t just a fashion statement; it was a whole vibe.
Naturally, the host had to ask what inspired the new look.
Zhao Liying laughed and said, “Just wanted a change of mood. Sakura pink… it’s everywhere these days, all soft and pretty. Makes me feel like spring and summer are really here.”

But she didn’t stop there – Zhao Liying cheekily admitted that she was kinda hoping the new hair would help her sneak around a bit more under the radar.
“I thought maybe with this, I could go places and not be recognised so easily.”
 |
The host quickly shot back, “You think pink hair is lowkey?!” – and yeah, fair point.
Still, fans were loving it.
Her studio dropped a series of pics showing off the full look, and let’s just say: Liying in pastel pink is chef’s kiss.
The phrase “Zhao Liying pink hair and white dress” rocketed up the trending charts not long after the stream ended.

Some fans linked her new look back to her 5 May Weibo post, where she marked the beginning of summer (“立夏”) with another pink-hued hairstyle and soft seasonal vibes.
Considering pink isn’t a go-to shade in her usual public appearances, this whole new aesthetic feels like a fresh chapter – one that’s already winning hearts.

And speaking of winning, 2024 has been nothing short of legendary for Zhao Liying.
She picked up both the Feitian Award for Outstanding Actress and the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress for her fierce role in The Wind Blows from Longxi.
On the big screen, her supporting role in Article 20 earned her a Best Supporting Actress at the 37th Hundred Flowers Awards.
Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough, she’s also lending her voice to the Chinese dub of Princess Mononoke, playing the role of San (aka the legendary Wolf Girl).
She even posted about receiving hand-drawn illustrations from Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki themselves – talk about dream come true.
So, yeah. Zhao Liying’s in her “soft girl era” with a hint of anime, but don’t be fooled – she’s still serving powerhouse energy
