At the 2025 Henkel–Shiseido Annual Gala, Li Qin appeared in a gilded black velvet mermaid gown, instantly becoming the focal point of both the venue and the online discussion. Her entrance carried a shimmering “mermaid princess” aura, effortlessly turning the brand’s formal dinner into her own spotlight moment. She embodied a calm yet radiant beauty that felt almost ethereal.
Her off-shoulder, form-fitting gown featured dazzling gold sequins that outlined her shoulders and neckline, subtly catching light with every movement. The lower half, crafted from rich black velvet with a dramatic high slit, merged softness and strength in a seamless contrast. As she walked, the gown swayed elegantly, revealing smooth shoulders, a delicate hint of décolletage, and her graceful silhouette—sensual yet refined.
Li Qin’s decade of classical Kunqu opera training has gifted her with a naturally upright posture and a unique sense of stage presence. With her swan-like neck, fluid shoulder line, and feather-light steps, the media described her as “gracefully swaying” and “walking straight into people’s hearts.” Fans online couldn’t help but exclaim, “Speechlessly beautiful,” and “The perfect blend of classical and modern elegance.”
Throughout the night, she alternated between serene moments—eyes gently closed, her clean and delicate features soft in the light—and poised poses with arms extended, hair naturally cascading over her shoulders. Her fair skin contrasted beautifully with the gown’s dark velvet, while the high slit revealed her long, sculpted legs. The result was a look that was sensual without being overt, confident without being imposing.
With this appearance, Li Qin once again proved that true beauty is a balance of self-assurance, artistry, and effortless poise.
