Now that’s what you call a proper grand finale. Liu Yifei — aye, the “Fairy Sister” herself — wrapped up VOGUE China’s Forces of Fashion 20th Anniversary Gala in Shanghai with a walk that had everyone gawping.
She turned up last on the red carpet, cool as you like, draped in a vintage Elie Saab gown that looked like it’d been nicked straight out of a fairytale garden.
The thing shimmered with thousands of hand-embroidered blossoms — all flutterin’ about like they had a life of their own every time she moved.
Add a slick up-do, a dainty floral hairpin and that glintin’ ruby necklace round her neck, and honestly, she looked like a walking piece of art.

But here’s the kicker — even a goddess gets a few hiccups.
Her diamond bracelet decided to play escape artist mid-walk, and not long after, the mag’s own editorial director, Rocco Liu, accidentally trod right on her hem.
Bit of chaos, yeah — but Yifei just smiled, straightened her skirt, and carried on like nothing happened. No fluster, no panic.
Just pure poise.
And that right there? That’s why the clip’s all over the feeds — cool under pressure, and somehow making a fashion fumble look like choreography.
💃 Yang Mi Brings the Heat — but Zero Chat with Yifei

Also grabbing eyeballs was Yang Mi, who went full fashion chameleon — first in a sleek black mini showing off those famous long legs, then later switching into a gold strapless gown with black velvet trim. Proper show-stopping combo.
But what really got folks whispering wasn’t the outfits — it was the vibe.
The two of ’em stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the group photos, barely trading a glance.
Not rude or anything, just icy.
Fans clocked it straight away and started speculating if things were a bit frosty between the pair.
Once co-stars, now politely pretending the other’s invisible?
Classic gala tension, that.

To be fair, that Shanghai night was nothing short of a fashion carnival. None of that dull black-and-white business — this was all rich silks, punchy textures, and unapologetic drama.
From crystal-encrusted suits to layered tulle, China’s stars went all in, making sure Vogue’s 20th bash was remembered for more than just who stood next to who.
Names like Eileen Gu, Zhou Dongyu, Zhang Jingyi, Nazha, Ouyang Nana, Zhang Linghe and Gong Jun all made appearances — each one bringing their own flair to the night.
Still, it’s safe to say Liu Yifei had the last word.

That blend of grace, glamour and quiet confidence? Pure star power, no filters needed.
Liu Yifei didn’t just close the red carpet — she owned it. Every step screamed timeless class, even when the universe tried to trip her up.
She reminded everyone that elegance isn’t about perfection — it’s about staying chill when your bracelet’s gone rogue and someone’s just stepped on your dress.
As for Yang Mi?
Still a headline-maker in her own right.
And together — even without a word — the two defined the night’s most talked-about moment.
