| 200+ Outfits, One Lead: Li Yitong Says She’s Only Just Started |
Li Yitong’s got everyone talking again — and this time it’s not about rumours or controversy, but fashion overload. During her latest livestream, the actress spilled that her upcoming urban drama The Vanishing Beauty will feature more than two hundred costume looks.
She grinned ear-to-ear as she told fans, “You’ve only seen a few of them so far — we’ve got loads more waiting to surprise you.”
She even added that she keeps tabs on what fans say about her styling, cheekily admitting she reads all the comments.
“There’ll be loads of new versions of Yu Meng,” she teased.
“Can’t wait to finish filming and get it out soon!”
Naturally, social media lit up faster than a kettle.
While fans were buzzing about how much effort must’ve gone into designing that many looks, others couldn’t help noticing how a few outfits looked familiar — maybe too familiar.
Some reckon the aesthetic gives déjà vu of Love’s Ambition, Zhao Lusi’s hit drama from earlier this year.
“Looks a bit like they’re chasing that same vibe, doesn’t it?” one netizen commented, while others defended Li Yitong, reminding everyone that costume choices are down to the production team, not the actress herself.
But fashion déjà vu or not, The Vanishing Beauty has a meaty story behind all that glamour.

Li Yitong plays Yu Meng, an only child from the Yangtze River Delta — a social-media darling everyone calls “the lucky woman”.
On her fifth wedding anniversary though, that perfect image cracks wide open.
Her husband’s family bleeds her dry, her marriage collapses, and she finds herself stuck between saving face online and salvaging her real life.
It’s got betrayal, pressure, and all the glossy tragedy of modern city living.
And aye, when your show’s that heavy on visual storytelling, the wardrobe’s bound to get extra attention.
With 200+ costume designs, it’s not just a drama — it’s practically a moving fashion exhibition.
Behind the scenes, insiders say these “costume plagiarism” debates have been cropping up all over the Chinese drama scene.
Some reckon it’s because of tight production schedules and streaming deadlines — creative teams rush the process and stick to whatever’s trending.
Others say it’s the market: if a certain silhouette or accessory combo pops off online, everyone wants a piece.
Still, Li Yitong’s fans are keeping their energy positive — hyped for the release and curious to see how all those styles fit Yu Meng’s emotional rollercoaster.
The cast lineup’s no slouch either: Chang Hua Sen, Esther Wang, Zeng Meng Xue, Cheng Hong Xin, Zhou Da Wei, and Huo Qing join Li in what’s shaping up to be a sharp, city-set story about image, identity, and inner chaos.
So yeah — two hundred looks, high drama, and Li Yitong right at the centre of it. Whether it’s about the costumes or the chaos, The Vanishing Beauty is already winning the attention game before it’s even aired.
