Shu Qi’s Fantasy-Infused Ensemble
What: Bulgari jewelry & Armani Privé Haute Couture gown
Where: Bulgari Eterna presentation in Rome
When: May 20
Chinese actress Shu Qi gathered praise for her stylish look at the unveiling of Bulgari’s “Eterna” collection in Rome. Celebrating Bulgari’s 140th anniversary, the high-octane event presented the brand’s most exclusive designs yet. Accordingly, the actress — who is one of Bulgari’s most esteemed ambassadors — glammed up in a fantasy-infused rose gold gown. The couture creation commanded attention with a body-fitting bodice, sweetheart neckline and litmus gauze skirt. However, the focal point of Shu Qi’s look was the high-end jewelry: a diamond collar necklace paired with matching earrings, a silver Bulgari Serpenti bracelet and a statement ruby ring.
Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach-Jauncey’s Reflective Gown
What: Custom-made Michael Cinco gown
Where: Le Comte De Monte-Cristo red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival
When: May 22
Filipina beauty queen and style icon Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach-Jauncey took over the Cannes Film Festival red carpets with several showstopping looks. From column gowns to net dresses, the Miss Universe 2015 showcased her A-plus style game during her stay in the French Riviera. Pia, however, looked particularly dazzling at the premiere of Le Comte De Monte-Cristo. The pastel blue gown, created by Dubai-based designer Michael Cinco, featured a full long skirt, corseted bodice and silver embellishments decorating the neckline and sleeves. In addition to subtly nodding to Pia’s most iconic looks — including her coronation’s electric blue gown — Cinco’s creation embraced one of this year’s biggest trends on the red carpet: the liquid sheen effect. So stylish!
Joey King’s Cannes Debut
What: Custom-made Cong Tri gown
Where: The Most Precious Of Cargoes red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival
When: May 24
Another star making a case for pastel blue on the red carpet was actor Joey King. The star made her red carpet debut at La Croisette attending the premiere of The Most Precious Of Cargoes as a guest of L’Oréal. Joey sported a custom gown by Vietnamese designer Cong Tri. Mixing a romantic hue of blue with a body-hugging silhouette, the dress stood out on the red carpet for its draped details and silver embellishments on the bodice. Joey paired the dreamy outfit with Hollywood waves and subtle glam courtesy of L’Oréal.
Jung Hae In’s Lessons on Formal Wear
What: Dior tuxedo
Where: Veteran 2 red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival
When: May 20
South Korean star Jung Hae In made his first-ever montée des marches as part of the cast of Veteran 2 (showing out of competition at the festival). The K-drama heartthrob opted for classic formal wear for the momentous occasion and donned a total Dior look. Nailing menswear staples from head to toe, the actor sported a peak lapel tuxedo layered over a cotton wing-tip and topped off with a silk bow tie and black leather boots. While Jung Hae In’s look didn’t stray far from the menswear repeatedly spotted on the red carpets, the actor delivered lessons on how to embrace the timeless elegance of a traditional suit. And for that, he’s one of the best dressed of the week.
Bella Hadid’s Take on Silver
What: Dsquared dress and Chopard jewelry
Where: Chopard’s “Once Upon a Time” Soirée in Cannes

Though model Bella Hadid has sported her fair share of standout looks at Cannes, she looked particularly stunning at Chopard’s annual grand soirée. The Orebella founder stunned with a Dsquared silver satin dress taken straight from the brand’s fall 2006 collection. Mixing the elegance of embellished straps with the sexiness of an open back, the gown was one of the most head-turning outfits at the event, where Chopard unveiled new high jewelry and couture collections. Bella further elevated the dress with open-toe shoes and a jewelry set by Chopard.

Where: Louis Vuitton Cruise 2025 show
When: May 23
Eternally best-dressed K-pop star Felix Lee made headlines when he graced the front row of Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2025 presentation in Barcelona, Spain. The singer, a member of K-pop group Stray Kids and Louis Vuitton’s brand ambassador, channeled Bridgertoncore aesthetics, dressed in a crisp white shirt, tailored pants and a navy blue coat featuring Regency-reminiscent details. Paired with silver jewelry and a subtle swept-back hairstyle, Felix’s look enchanted fans and fashion enthusiasts who readily praised his royal garb.
Win Metawin’s Spin on Classic Jewelry

Where: Tiffany & Co. flagship store opening in Bangkok
When: May 23
Win Metawin, Thai star and Tiffany & Co.’s House Ambassador, made a case for elevated menswear and iconic jewelry designs at the opening of the brand’s flagship store in Bangkok. The actor stood out as one of the best stars of the week with a peak lapel velvet tuxedo, square-toe shoes (Prada presumably) and a tasteful selection of Tiffany & Co. pieces. The jewel of the crown of Win’s look was the Jean Schlumberger Bird on a Rock Brooch, which attracted attention with its dazzling diamonds and aquamarine gemstone. In addition to his ultra-expensive accessories, Win complemented his tailored look with his signature ‘90s heartthrob hairstyle and glowy skin glam. A ten out of ten, to be honest!
Lisa’s Environmentally Friendly Party Fit
What: Custom-made PIPATCHARA look
Where: Tag Heuer’s yacht party in Monaco
When: May 25
K-pop star Lisa Manobal’s stay in Monaco for the Formula 1 Grand Prix delivered headline-worthy style moments but the most memorable might be an upcycled PIPATCHARA ensemble. Custom-created by EnVi’s 2023 Fashion Power Players’ honoree Pipatchara Kaeojinda, the cropped top and mini skirt set was entirely made of recycled plastic waste. “We’ve used more than 1,800 (pieces of trash) mainly from water bottle lids,” the Thai brand wrote on Instagram. Lisa’s sustainable look was styled with a pair of cream sandals and a brand-new mini bag from the Louis Vuitton x Sun Yitian collaboration first showcased at the Voyageur show last April. Talk about sustainable exclusivity!
