5 most epic Hong Kong celebrity wedding dresses, from Anita Mui’s Canto-pop concert farewell and Shu Qi’s sustainable H&M gown, to Angelababy’s extravagant Dior look
- Mui’s farewell concert gown was by designer Eddie Lau Pui-kei, Gillian Chung wore Jenny Packham and Shu Qi was content with a more sustainable H&M dress
- Alexandra Manley met Prince Joachim of Denmark in Hong Kong and went onto become Countess of Frederiksborg – tying the knot in a gown with 9,000 pearls
Here we take a look at a few wedding dresses worn by Hong Kong biggest celebrities when they said “I do”.
1. Anita Mui
Mui wore the first of the two – an intricate red and gold Chinese wedding dress – for the opening of the concert, but it was her captivating Western-style gown that fully caught her bittersweet yet earnest intent. At her last curtain call, Mui came out in the striking white dress, which featured horizontal pleating across the bust and an exceptionally long train. With her grand headpiece and a microphone in tow, Hong Kong’s darling ensured that she would not be forgotten as she bid goodbye to her fans.
2. Gillian Chung
When Hong Kong singer-actress Gillian Chung got hitched in 2018, she made a slight departure from her good-girl image by choosing a plunging Jenny Packham ball gown that combined both boldness and sophistication for her Los Angeles reception. Her dress’ deep-V chiffon collar was framed by ruffled sleeves, while the flocked tulle offered an element of visual interest.
