Leaked stills from Zhuo Hua Lu(灼华录) show Chen Yao wearing pale, almost weightless white gauze over her hair. It drops down her back with soft pleats along the edge.

In old China, a girl’s hair worked like a clock. Before she reached marriageable age, she rarely pinned it into a full bun. Instead, her hair hung loose in two small braids, one braid, or little tied tufts. This style had a name: hanging locks. It did not mean she was careless. It marked her […]

A wedding preview for Against the Current (兰香如故)started a costume debate. Did Lin Xiuru (林绣茹) and Xu Lanxiang (许兰香) wear the same crown? At first, the two bridal looks seem close.
