Chinese actress Yang Mi recently attended a public event, appearing in "New Chinese-style" attire, and it was noticed that she seems to have taken quite a liking to incorporating traditional elements into her everyday outfits lately. On that day, she appeared in a Jin-style Hanfu paired with black trousers, a design inspired by a Northern Dynasty pleated robe from the China National Silk Museum. Her outfit received praise for its elegance, and netizens quickly found the same garment online, commenting that for just 168 RMB (about 99 Ringgit), one could “transform into” Yang Mi.
After Yang Mi served as a free model, sales of this pleated robe suddenly soared by a thousandfold. The retailer has stopped taking orders due to inventory issues, and the designer posted a message thanking Yang Mi: “The sudden flood of orders caught us completely off guard… Fortunately, every Bee (Yang Mi’s fans) has been so polite and friendly. Super grateful that Yang Mi chose our clothes.”
