Both are wearing MAJOR necklaces, something Ziyi will, I promise you, do again. ## 2001 Golden Globes ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-529459030-1724723799.jpg) Zhang Ziyi (star of film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") arriving at the 58th Annual Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. (Photo by Frank Trapper/Corbis via Getty Images) This is a very pretty dress indeed -- it would totally work today if she brought it out of the archive. ## Oscars 2001 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-820877-1724723739-scaled.jpg) 386900 115: Actress Zhang Ziyi arrives for the 73rd Annual Academy Awards March 25, 2001 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. (Photo by Chris Weeks/Getty Images) This stunner is always going to be hard to top. It's BEAUTIFUL. I finally found a credit that says it's Escada, a line we really NEVER hear about anymore. ## 2001 MTV Movie Awards ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-2365156-1724723843.jpg) Zhang Ziyi arrives at the 2001 MTV Move Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, Ca., 6/2/01\. Photo by Dave Hogan/MP/Getty Images This is a nice version of My Top Is A Hanky With Straps, but... her top is still hanky with straps. ## with Liza ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-130087584-1724724012.jpg) Liza Minnelli and Ziyi Zhang during amfAR "Cinema Against AIDS" Gala Presented by Miramax Films, Palisades Pictures and Quintessentially - Arrivals at Le Moulins de Mougins in Mougins, France. (Photo by Jean Baptiste Lacroix/WireImage) And here we have an excellent cameo by a legend. Everyone here is serving. ## 2005 Cannes ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-115819065-1724724056.jpg) Ziyi Zhang during 2005 Cannes Film Festival - "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" Premiere in Cannes, France. (Photo by Christian Alminana/FilmMagic) Is this our first real WOMP WOMP of the slideshow? It looks sort of like a melted mantis. ## with Michelle Yeoh again ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-117345869-1724724035.jpg) Ziyi Zhang and Michelle Yeoh during Los Angeles Premiere of Columbia Pictures' "Memoirs of a Geisha" at Kodak Theater / The Grand Ballroom - Hollywood/Highland in Hollywood, California, United States. (Photo by E. Charbonneau/WireImage for Sony Pictures-Los Angeles) This is at the Memoirs of a Geisha premiere, and once again I couldn't resist the glory of seeing these two women in one frame. ## 2006 Golden Globes ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-130349823-1724724023.jpg) Zhang Ziyi during The 63rd Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals at Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, United States. (Photo by Dan MacMedan/WireImage) I love this, with the ONE mild exception of wishing the bodice went straight across. ## 2006 SAGs ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-112029413-1724724116.jpg) Ziyi Zhang 10618\_sg0573.jpg during TNT Broadcasts 12th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Arrivals at Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles, California, United States. (Photo by SGranitz/WireImage for Turner) I wonder if this is by the same designer as the Cannes Womp-Womp dress -- there's something similar in the style of overlay. This one is much nicer. ## Oscars 2006 in Armani ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-111251080-1724724141.jpg) Ziyi Zhang during The 78th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals at Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California, United States. (Photo by SGranitz/WireImage) I found some super mean articles in the Hong Kong press about how much they hated this, which I think is extreme. The skirt is very intricate; it maybe just needed to come up a little higher. ## 2006 Cannes Film Festival ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-75539221-1724723764.jpg) Ziyi Zhang at the Palais de Festival in Cannes, France. (Photo by Jeff Vespa/WireImage) This didn't seem to get the Cannes Stairs Moment that you would expect, but I also think the train would've needed to be little longer for it to be super effective. It's nice, though! The shoes seem a bit clunky with it. ## 2006 Venice Film Festival ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-535063204-1724724164.jpg) Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi at the 2006 Venice Film Festival premiere of "Ye yan". (Photo by Alessandra Benedetti/Corbis via Getty Images) So here we're at her lone Venice appearance, as far as I can tell. Those pleats are delicate and lovely and the color is great. ## 2007 Oscar party ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-184559954-1724723886.jpg) Ziyi Zhang during 2007 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted by Graydon Carter at Mortons in West Hollywood, California, United States. (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic) This looks like an intense lemon cake. I do LIKE lemon cake, at least. But in my stomach more than on my body. ## Cannes 2007 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-130932173-1724724000.jpg) Zhang Ziyi during 2007 Cannes Film Festival - "Chacun Son Cinema" All Directors Premiere at Palais des Festival in Cannes, France. (Photo by Toni Anne Barson Archive/WireImage) I LOVE this on her, though?!? It's got so much character. ## 2008 Shanghai Film Fest ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-81560290-1724723753.jpg) SHANGHAI, CHINA - JUNE 14: (CHINA OUT) Actress Zhang Ziyi arrives to attend the opening ceremony of the 11th Shanghai International Film Festival on June 14, 2008 in Shanghai, China. The festival will be held from June 14 to 22\. (Photo by China Photos/Getty Images) Whereas this looks like a gauzy tongue unfurling down her front. ## 2009 Cannes ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-130382156-1724723987.jpg) Actress Zhang Ziyi attends the "Face" Premiere at the Palais De Festivals during the 62nd Annual Cannes Film Festival on May 23, 2009 in Cannes, France. (Photo by Dominique Charriau/WireImage) She likes these pinchy sweetheart bodices. She ALSO, as we noted before, can get with a big statement necklace. This looks more like a crown of tinsel that slid down. ## Cannes 2010 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-835496448-1724723727.jpg) Ziyi Zhang arrives for the premiere of new film Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky, during the Cannes Film Festival, at the Palais de Festival In Cannes, France. (Photo by Ian West - PA Images/PA Images via Getty Images) This is so delicate. It's truly beautiful. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-835496416-1724723714.jpg) Ziyi Zhang arrives for the premiere of new film Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky, during the Cannes Film Festival, at the Palais de Festival In Cannes, France. (Photo by Ian West - PA Images/PA Images via Getty Images) And it has a VERY sexy back. ## 2011 Rome Film Fest ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-131191719-1724723976.jpg) ROME, ITALY - NOVEMBER 02: Actress Ziyi Zhang attends the 'Love For Life' Premiere during the 6th International Rome Film Festival on November 2, 2011 in Rome, Italy. (Photo by Stefania D'Alessandro/Getty Images) I was all triumphant about how I correctly pegged this as Elie Saab, but whatever source I found was LIES and it's Dior! BOOOOO except I still like it, and this isn't about me, so it doesn't really matter. ## Cannes 2013 in Carolina Herrera ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-168904087-1724723953.jpg) CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 16: Member of the 'Un Certain Regard' Jury Zhang Ziyi attends the Premiere of 'The Bling Ring' at The 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 16, 2013 in Cannes, France. (Photo by George Pimentel/WireImage) I mean, if you're at the premiere of something called *The Bling Ring*, you might as well wear a MAJOR ring of bling, even though the movie is actually about robberies. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-535711716-1724723811.jpg) Zhang Ziyi attends the photocall for the Jury for the 'Un Certain Regard' competition during the 66th Cannes International Film Festival. (Photo by Stephane Cardinale/Corbis via Getty Images) This is like... a gorgeous fungus. ## 2013 Cannes ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-169286955-1724723931.jpg) CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 22: Zhang Ziyi attends the premiere of 'Only God Forgives' at The 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival on May 22, 2013 in Cannes, France. (Photo by George Pimentel/WireImage) That's a bit of a scrolldown for me. I think it would have been better if it was all sleek, and missing the extra tulle. ## 2013 Cannes ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-169434587-1724723942.jpg) CAP D'ANTIBES, FRANCE - MAY 23: Zhang Ziyi arrives at amfAR's 20th Annual Cinema Against AIDS at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on May 23, 2013 in Cap d'Antibes, France. (Photo by Toni Anne Barson/FilmMagic,) This feels a little like Forever 21 Does Couture. ## 2013 Cannes ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-535876032-1724723776.jpg) Zhang Ziyi attends the 'La Venus A La Fourrure' premiere during the 66th Cannes International Film Festival. (Photo by Stephane Cardinale/Corbis via Getty Images) Another Elie Saab; another one you probably guessed before I said it. ## in Dior ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-169513016-1724723909.jpg) CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 26: Actress Zhang Ziyi attends the Premiere of 'Zulu' and the Closing Ceremony of The 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 26, 2013 in Cannes, France. (Photo by Venturelli/WireImage) This is one of my favorites on her. The neon and the pink are so fun. ## 2013 Chinese Film Festival ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-170741925-1724723920.jpg) SEOUL, CHINA - JUNE 16: (CHINA MAINLAND OUT) Zhang Ziyi at opening ceremony of 2013 Chinese Film Festival on Sunday June 16, 2013 in Seoul, South Korea. (Photo by TPG/Getty Images) This is like a wacky cocoon, and I am into it. ## 2013 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-172681457-1724723897.jpg) PARIS, FRANCE - JULY 04: (EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE) Zhang Ziyi attends the Le Grand Bal De La Comedie Francaise at La Comedie Francaise on July 4, 2013 in Paris, France. (Photo by Rindoff/Le Segretain/Getty Images) GORGEOUS, and I am also pleased to say that I correctly pegged it as Giambattista Valli. I don't get it right that often, so this is very exciting for me. ## The 50th Golden Horse Awards ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-451551691-1724723823.jpg) TAIPEI, TAIWAN - NOVEMBER 23: (CHINA OUT) Actress Zhang Ziyi arrives on the red carpet of the 50th Golden Horse Awards at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall on November 23, 2013 in Taipei, Taiwan. (Photo by Visual China Group via Getty Images/Visual China Group via Getty Images) This sort of looks like a very glamorous tire mark. ## 2014 Cannes ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-490625563-1724723834.jpg) CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 14: Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi poses at the premiere of 'Grace of Monaco' during the opening ceremony of the 67th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, on May 14, 2014\. (Photo by Mustafa Yalcin/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images) This dress freaks out my eyes every time. It's not a trick of the wind; there just is a random curled ruffle in the middle of it. The top is NOT in conversation with the bottom. ## 2016 TIFF, in Elie Saab ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-1460351789-1724723964.jpg) Zhang Ziyi (Photo by Michael Buckner/Variety/Penske Media via Getty Images) This always looked like a cool depiction of a city, to me. ## 2017 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-693940024-1724723788.jpg) BEIJING, CHINA - JUNE 08: Actress Zhang Ziyi arrives at the red carpet of Tiffany & Co. grand ceremony on June 8, 2017 in Beijing, China. (Photo by Visual China Group via Getty Images/Visual China Group via Getty Images) I am not sure what went wrong here, other than everything. ## 2018 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-1079070560-1724724152.jpg) BEIJING, CHINA - DECEMBER 08: Actress Zhang Ziyi poses on the red carpet of the 17th China Huabiao Film Awards Ceremony on December 8, 2018 in Beijing, China. (Photo by Visual China Group via Getty Images/Visual China Group via Getty Images) This might've needed a red lip? ## in Alex Perry, 2019 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-1144887428-1724724129.jpg) Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi arrives to attend the world premiere of "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" at TCL Chinese Theatre on May 18, 2019 in Hollywood. (Photo by VALERIE MACON / AFP) (Photo by VALERIE MACON/AFP via Getty Images) I definitely like this. It's so well-tailored on her. ## Cannes 2019 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-1150540750-1724724104-scaled.jpg) CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 20: Zhang Ziyi attends the screening of "La Belle Epoque" during the 72nd annual Cannes Film Festival on May 20, 2019 in Cannes, France. (Photo by Dominique Charriau/WireImage) I kind of wish this had kept going the way it began. ## 2019 Cannes ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-1150781045-1724724068.jpg) CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 21: Zhang Ziyi attends the screening of "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" during the 72nd annual Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2019 in Cannes, France. (Photo by Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images) This is a little witchier than her normal vibe. The top is also a tiny bit busy. ## Cannes 2019 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-1146337207-1724724092.jpg) CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 25: Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi arrives for the Closing Awards Ceremony of the 72nd annual Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France on May 25, 2019\. (Photo by Mustafa Yalcin/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images) And then this is SUCH a swerve. One is wicked, one is Glinda. ## 2019 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-1156236406-1724724080.jpg) SHANGHAI, CHINA - JUNE 15: Actress Zhang Ziyi attends the opening ceremony of the 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival at Shanghai Grand Theatre on June 15, 2019 in Shanghai, China. (Photo by Visual China Group via Getty Images/Visual China Group via Getty Images) Major jewels again, but this dress seems too big on her, no. ## 2020 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-1290885457-1724724046.jpg) SANYA, CHINA - DECEMBER 12: Actress Zhang Ziyi arrives at the red carpet during the closing ceremony of the 3rd Hainan Island International Film Festival at Haitang Square on December 12, 2020 in Sanya, Hainan Province of China. (Photo by VCG/VCG via Getty Images) This is like the chartreuse cousin of that black dress from a few slides ago. I like this one better. ## Cannes 2024 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-2154513088-1724723865.jpg) CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 24: Zhang Ziyi attends the "She's Got No Name" Red Carpet at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 24, 2024 in Cannes, France. (Photo by Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images) This is darkly elegant; I like it a LOT. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-2154695373-1724723854.jpg) CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 25: Actress Zhang Ziyi attends the "She's Got No Name" Photocall during the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 25, 2024 in Cannes, France. (Photo by VCG/VCG via Getty Images) And THIS feels like, honestly, an Isabelle Huppert phase -- which is apt because Isabelle is the head of the Venice jury on which Ziyi will sit. Full circle! Or... not a circle, but... I got us from A to B, or something. Sure.
