Have You Heard of Fan Bingbing?

No I did not misspell "bling", Fan Bingbing, is China's beautiful rising star has made a stylish impact at the Cannes Film Festival for two years in a row. Fan has been dubbed China's Monica Bellucci and last year ranked 10th in Forbes China Celebrity 100.
I just recently took notice of China's rising star while viewing the Cannes Fashion Lounge.

I have to say this woman is stunning and her taste in red carpet apparel is gorgeous. What I think I like most about Fan's red carpet style is that she keeps the beauty portion of her looks simple. She focuses on her lips and large brown eyes with simple makeup and natural brows. For hair she adds a little more glamor with braided updos, classic buns or long, controlled waves.


Even though Fan Bingbing is not well-known stateside, yet. I feel she is worthy a mention as a style influence for formal or red-carpet attire. I always say that while most of us cannot afford the designer gowns the celebrities wear on the red carpet, we can always use their red carpets looks as style influences to search for more affordable fashions for ourselves. If you need ideas for a look to wear to your next formal affair take a gander at these lovely gowns Fan wore at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and be inspired.
