On November 9, the annual W Gala opened inside a vintage villa beside the Huangpu River. Unlike its Macau edition, this event dropped the staged runway for a soft dinner gathering. It carried the “Golden Age” theme, recreating the easy mood of 1920s jazz nights. Stars did not compete over costly gowns. Instead, each shaped their own version of vintage charm.
1. Qi Wei
Qi Wei delivered one of the most unforgettable vintage looks of the night. She skipped standard trailing gowns and wore a velvet robe embroidered with flowers and birds over a short Art Deco metal‑thread skirt.
Blonde hair paired with teal and green eye makeup, and she looked like a manor hostess straight out of “The Great Gatsby”. Her clever detail lay in the half‑moon nail style from “Gone with the Wind”.
While others chased long trains and sparkling stones, she turned even her fingertips into part of the scene. Lazy and self‑assured, she fully captured the spirit of a vintage starlet.
2. Sun Yi
Sun Yi offered a lighter, dreamy take on the Golden Age among heavy velvet and gold embroidery. Her gradient tulle gown from ALMÉE COUTURE 2027 spring and summer bloomed with 3D flowers and tiny sequins.
Pink fabric ribbons drifted with every small movement. Paired with BVLGARI jewelry and a clean high updo, she exposed her smooth shoulder and neck lines fully.
She posed by a swing decorated with fresh branches. She seemed less like a guest on a gala and more like a forest princess wandering into the old house, bringing soft fairy‑tale warmth.
3. Liu Haocun
Liu Haocun stepped forward with a gentle princess style. Her pink strapless tulle gown by Ines Di Santo was covered in raised flower shapes. A delicate crown from Chopard sat neatly on her twisted‑up hair.
Soft diamonds scattered across the skirt and caught light gently. She kept away from forced mature expressions, letting her sweet facial features stay at the center of the look.
Her whole image resembled a young noble girl painted on an ancient castle canvas. Quiet, pretty, and steady without trying too hard to draw attention.
4. Tan Songyun
Tan Songyun chose calm elegance with a deep green strapless gown from SAIID KOBEISY. Small scattered crystals dotted the fabric without harsh, bright reflections.
Many stars piled on lace, feathers and oversized skirts for the gala. She went the opposite way, with simple, restrained design that felt peaceful and refined.
Her natural smile stood out more than fancy decorations. This quiet classical tone created a comfortable contrast beside all the bright, eye‑catching outfits around her.
5. Li Qin
Li Qin embodied bold, rich splendor. Her champagne off‑the‑shoulder mermaid dress came from the MAQUINN “The Art of Her” custom line, woven with gold threads and crystal flower ornaments.
The high slit and wide neckline showed her graceful collarbones and shoulder lines. An Allegra necklace from BVLGARI completed the outfit. It felt luxurious without feeling bulky or heavy.
She stood easily against the vintage villa background. Bright and composed, she carried the glow of the Golden Age, balancing classic softness and confident presence.
The night proved that the Golden Age is not one fixed look. Lazy charm, modern grace, forest fantasy and quiet classics all belong to it. These actresses breathed new life into old‑time beauty inside the Shanghai villa.
