Yang Zi attends an event, her face expressionless like a wax statue, her outfit just as tacky as "Sister Hong's" (referring to Hong Kong actress).

Yang Zi's recent appearance at an international fashion event has unexpectedly become a hot topic of discussion on social media.

Instead of receiving the usual praise when attending major fashion shows, the actress faced a wave of controversy surrounding her appearance and fashion style.

According to images circulating from the event, Yang Zi appeared at Valentino's Fall/Winter 2026 fashion show in Italy. She attended as a brand ambassador. However, as soon as the photos from the event were posted, the actress's appearance quickly sparked mixed reactions online.

For this appearance, Yang Zi chose an outfit primarily in pastel coral pink. The design consisted of a loose-fitting, long-sleeved dress with a sparkling bow detail at the neckline. Beneath the main dress was a sheer, lace-trimmed skirt, creating a layered effect. The overall outfit was paired with a large black leather handbag and high heels from Valentino's Rockstud line. However, many people felt this combination wasn't harmonious, making the overall look appear cluttered and lacking sophistication.

Not only her outfit, but the actress's face also became a topic of discussion. Her heavy makeup, with a white base and striking lipstick color, made her face look unnatural. Some photos taken at the event even showed Yang Zi's expression looking stiff, sparking comments that her face looked "as expressionless as a wax statue."

Furthermore, although the actress changed her appearance with new red hair, this change was not enough to convince the audience. When combined with heavy makeup and a striking pink dress, the overall look was criticized by many netizens as lacking elegance. Some comments on social media even compared her look to the style of "Sister Hong," further fueling the debate.

In fact, this isn't the first time Yang Zi has caused controversy with her fashion style whenever she appears at major events. Over the years, the actress has repeatedly been criticized for choosing outfits that don't suit her figure or are considered outdated. Some unedited photos have even led to her being judged as "backfiring" due to excessive makeup that reveals flaws on her face.

However, some argue that judging a person's appearance based on just a few event photos may not fully reflect the overall picture.

Born in 1992, Yang Zi is currently 27 years old, but her acting career has already spanned over 20 years. "Teacher Yang" started acting at the age of five, making her debut in the small role of Zhou Qiong in the drama "The Mountains." In 2003, thanks to "Girl's Diary ," Yang Zi received her first nomination for the Golden Bull Award at the tender age of 11.

The young actress's undeniable natural acting ability was once again confirmed through her role as Xia Xue in the hit drama "Home with Sons and Daughters," which topped the viewership ratings charts in China in 2005. From 2005 to 2012, Yang Zi dedicated almost all of her time to participating in numerous television projects, both large and small. Because of her consistent appearances on television, audiences seem to have grown up alongside Yang Zi. Even many big stars who have worked with Yang Zi admit, "I grew up watching her films."

In 2013, Yang Zi revived her fame with the most popular drama in China that year, "Not Flowers, Not Fog." However, even this work by the famous screenwriter Qiong Yao couldn't help "Bai Meng Hua" (the character she played) make a big breakthrough because the drama spread its influence evenly among the main cast.

After 2013, Yang Zi's career almost stagnated. Her reputation was stable but mediocre, and it revived in 2016 thanks to the double success of "Ode to Joy " and "The Legend of Qing Yun ". However, in both films, Yang Zi did not play the lead role. In "Ode to Joy," she played Qiu Yingying, one of the five girls living on the 22nd floor of the "Ode to Joy" apartment building in Shanghai. Each girl had a different personality and life; they differed in background, age, social relationships, and careers. Qiu Yingying was an ordinary girl, not attracting the same attention from the audience as the arrogant and successful Ms. Andy played by Liu Tao or the beautiful and gentle Guan Shier played by Qiao Xin.

In Tru Tiên, Lu Xueqi's screen time was even less than some of the supporting characters. Despite acting in many films, Yang Zi hasn't had a truly outstanding "masterpiece" of her own, preventing her from becoming a top star, even though she's recognized as a talented young actress.
