According to QQ, just after a livestream sale, actress Angelababy (Duong Dinh) became the focus of ridicule by the online community. She herself was clearly contempted by the costume designer, the styling team was suspected of violating the contract, and even implicated in the brand she represented.
The incident originated from a recent livestream of Angelababy for the Red Dragonfly sports shoe brand. The beauty born in 1989 appeared in haute couture (high fashion) outfits and combined with red Red Dragonfly sports shoes. No one expected that this combination would spark a major controversy.
When the haute couture designer learned that Angelababy was wearing their outfit to participate in livestream sales, she immediately became angry, making it clear that she had never allowed her haute couture design to be worn in commercial activities, especially to advertise "cheap shoes".
The designer's statement caused fierce debate on Chinese social networks, leading to many opposing opinions.
A part of Chinese netizens is upset that the haute couture designer is disregarding a long-standing national shoe brand in a billion-population country.
Others criticized the professionalism in Angelababy's team's working style. Even, many viewers believe that both the haute couture designer and the domestic brand Red Dragonfly should not cooperate with Angelababy.
Because she went to see Lisa (Blackpink) perform at the Crazy Horse Paris nightclub at the end of 2023, Angelababy's image and career were heavily affected. There was a time when the actress was "banned from broadcasting", restricted from appearing on social networks and media.
After that, Angelababy struggled to return to activities, but the current situation is still very difficult. The media assesses that she is leaving in a state of "half a risky artist, half a scandalous artist".
The movie "Tuong tu lenh" starring her was broadcast silently and left no impression, no investor wanted to invite Angelababy to act in the movie anymore. The variety show recorded for many years, "Keep Running", also removed her from the cast, and no other television station wanted Angelababy to appear on air.
Even the fashion industry almost "erased" the actress's name, as long as it is a public red carpet in the country, she will not be seen.
The only people who still do not leave Angelababy are only a few brands she represents, including the long-standing national brand Red Dragonfly.
The owner of Red Dragonfly is Angelababy's close friend. Although the actress was once "banned from broadcasting", they still resolutely cooperated, time and time again, causing Red Dragonfly to get into controversy, to some extent damaging the brand reputation.
In addition, many people think that Angelababy is "too dressed up", determined to borrow an unflattering haute couture dress to strain herself to maintain her figure, the result is a rise in controversy.
The public realizes that Angelababy is declining more and more, and has long fallen from the "top" of the Chinese entertainment industry.
The incident also put Angelababy at risk of being put on the "blacklist" by haute couture brands, not lending her clothes anymore.
