Dilraba Dilmurat takes on Yang Zi and BLACKPINK's Jisoo as she graces the cover of a new magazine.

Dilraba Dilmurat's appearance on the cover of Harper's Bazaar China's inaugural issue quickly garnered attention online. This wasn't just a regular cover appearance; it marked the beginning of the new year.

For fans, this moment holds special significance. Although her film career hasn't exploded as expected in recent years, Dilraba Dilmurat still maintains a strong position in the fashion industry. She consistently appears in major magazines and is considered a "guaranteed visual icon" in the Chinese entertainment industry, especially at red carpet events.

Before they could fully enjoy themselves, they were embroiled in a controversy with Yang Zi's fans.

Before the fans' joy could subside, a controversy unexpectedly erupted. At the same time, Yang Zi also appeared on the cover of Vogue Hong Kong's first issue of 2026. This quickly led to endless comparisons between the two fandoms.

The controversy stems from the fact that Yang Zi's styling is considered "similar" to a style previously seen in Dilraba Dilmurat's photoshoot. Specifically, the actress from the drama "National Beauty" posed next to a hibiscus flower – a detail that had appeared in Dilraba's earlier concept.

Furthermore, the dress Yang Zi wore was also said to be inspired by a style previously showcased by Dilraba Dilmurat. From here, debate erupted, leading to a series of comparisons regarding status, influence, and "magazine cover status."

Fans from both sides engage in a debate: Who has the upper hand?

Fans of Dilraba Dilmurat believe that her appearance in Harper's Bazaar China – one of the five major magazines – shows that her position remains very strong. Meanwhile, Vogue Hong Kong is only a regional edition and cannot be compared to it.

Conversely, Yang Zi's fans quickly countered. They argued that the actress was in no way inferior, having graced the covers of numerous major magazines and having a series of films that achieved better commercial success. For them, Yang Zi's career shouldn't be judged by a single photoshoot.

The debate dragged on, but most netizens opted for a neutral stance, arguing that each beauty queen has her own strengths and they shouldn't be pitted against each other.

What's more, Dilraba Dilmurat is wearing the same outfit as Jisoo (BLACKPINK).

While the controversy with Yang Zi was still ongoing, netizens discovered that the outfit Dilraba Dilmurat wore in this photoshoot had previously been worn by Jisoo (BLACKPINK) for the December issue of Elle Korea.

This detail quickly became a topic of discussion. However, many opinions suggest that "wearing the same outfit" is unavoidable, especially since both are faces of Dior . Wearing the same new design from the fashion house is perfectly understandable and not a matter of comparing who is better or worse.

Three names, three styles, one thing in common: an undeniable appeal.

Comparing Dilraba Dilmurat, Yang Zi, and Jisoo, it's easy to see that each has their own style and audience. One stands out for her fashion sense, another scores points for her acting, and the third possesses global influence.

The coincidence in timing only fueled social media frenzy, without diminishing anyone's individual value. From a positive perspective, this also demonstrates the immense popularity of leading figures in Asia, where even a single photoshoot can generate a wave of discussion.

The visual game has never cooled down.

In the highly competitive entertainment market, it's not uncommon for artists to constantly appear in major publications. What's noteworthy is that each time they appear, they become the center of attention in their own unique way.

And perhaps, instead of arguing about who is better than whom, what audiences enjoy most is seeing fresh, polished, and colorful versions of familiar faces.
