Famed celebrity photographer Ellen Von Unwerth photographed Chinese actress Fan Bingbing for W Magazine December 2013. Bingbing is starting to make a name for herself in North America, having recently attended the Cannes Film Festival and several Fashion Weeks; she also serves as the face of L’Oreal Cosmetics.

This is one of several magazine editorials Bingbing has starred in, and she’s looking especially gorgeous as she channels an [old-school film starlet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign). Patrick Mackie styled Bingbing in couture pieces by Emilio Pucci and Balmain, from a drapey, monochromatic two-piece, to a glamorous studded mini dress and leather trench coat. Beauty-wise, Bingbing sports a sleek ponytail, dramatic lashes and an assortment of vibrant lip stains as she flashes the camera a range of aloof, coy and come-hither expressions.

I look forward to seeing more of the fashion-forward actress in the future.
