| Dilraba’s Sword Rose and Love on Turquoise Island Pulled from Schedule – Release Dates Postponed |
Paris Fashion Week might’ve looked like a fairytale for Chinese actress Dilraba Dilmurat, but back home, things are looking far less magical. While she stunned in an elegant black gown and made headlines for her show-stopping appearance in the City of Light, two of her highly anticipated dramas — Sword Rose and Love on Turquoise Island — were suddenly yanked from their release schedules, leaving fans frustrated and questioning her team’s strategy.
The vibe in Paris was peak glamour. Dilireba, often dubbed the “Xinjiang goddess,” graced a luxury brand event wearing a black gown with intricate rose detailing, paired with a dainty pearl necklace and an aura of effortless charm.
But behind all that grace was chaos — quite literally. Some fans, having misread event times, ended up waiting nearly six hours under the scorching sun and a surprise rainstorm just to catch a glimpse of her. One devoted fan even wore a full-on frog suit to stand out... only to faint from the heat and exhaustion.
Angelababy, on the other hand, cruised through her Paris schedule like a pro. Also rocking a black princess aesthetic, she captivated the crowd with her refined presence. And she didn’t just stop at fashion — she brought along her son, Little Sponge, and shared a sweet mother-son snap on social media with the caption, “Caught me rushing to work,” as her son tugged at her gown. A rare and relatable moment that fans lapped up.
📺 Drama Delays Spark Backlash

Back in China though, the mood among Reba’s fanbase was anything but rosy. Sword Rose, originally scheduled to premiere on July 12, was abruptly bumped to July 28 to make way for the crime thriller The Narcotic Operation, starring Duan Yihong and Yu Wenwen.
The kicker? Dilraba’s Paris trip was actually part of the Sword Rose promotion campaign — her “black rose” look clearly a nod to the drama’s theme. So when the release got postponed last minute, fans were left confused and fuming.
Things didn’t get better from there. Love on Turquoise Island, her other romantic drama, was quietly shifted from the competitive summer slot to a low-profile November release, raising even more eyebrows. The lack of communication only fuelled the outrage, with fans accusing the industry and her management of sidelining one of China’s biggest female stars.
“I waited all summer for this. What’s the point of the Paris ‘rose’ theme if you don’t even air the show?” one fan vented on Weibo.

As if the drama delays weren’t enough, Dilraba’s studio found itself under fire for failing to release any proper behind-the-scenes or red carpet photos from her Paris trip — something fans had been begging for across platforms.
“Angelababy’s team had edited photos out within hours. Dilraba’s side hasn’t even posted one decent shot,” another fan posted. “She deserves better. Fire the manager already.”
Compared to Angelababy’s slickly timed content drops and playful mum-life updates, Dilraba’s socials remained oddly quiet — no posts, no recaps, just a string of reposted fan clips. And while some blamed external industry politics, many pointed fingers directly at her team for dropping the ball on what could’ve been a strong PR moment.

🌟 Other Stars Making Paris Waves
Meanwhile, rising stars Yang Chaoyue and Chen Feiyu brought fresh energy to the fashion week scene.
Yang Chaoyue, best known for her bubbly girl-next-door vibe, completely switched things up — strutting in a glittery black sequin gown with a dramatic train and slicked-back hair. She even treated fans to a cosy livestream while getting ready in a fluffy bathrobe, joking about the pre-show nerves.
Chen Feiyu went full rockstar mode with a long leather coat, bleached-blond hair, and brooding poses that looked straight out of a K-pop concept shoot. His edgy makeover drew praise from netizens, who called it his most stylish appearance yet.

Dilireba might’ve nailed the fashion brief in Paris, but as her dramas stall and her fanbase grows increasingly impatient, it’s clear that wardrobe wins aren’t enough to keep the momentum going. Whether it’s poor planning, internal reshuffles, or just plain bad luck, fans are demanding answers — and more importantly, results.
With Sword Rose now rescheduled for later this month and Love on Turquoise Island pushed to autumn, all eyes will be on whether her team can get things back on track… or if the missteps will cost more than just a few missed air dates.
