Fan Bingbing attended the 2026 Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in South Korea.
Seeing the Chinese actress in this Richard Quinn Spring 2026 design confirmed one thing for me: I simply don't like it.
When Amanda Seyfried wore a similar design last year, I thought it was just a case of the dress not suiting her. Now I'm convinced the design itself is the issue, because if Fan Bingbing can't make this gown sing, I'm not sure anyone can.
That said, the styling didn't do it any favours. The opera gloves felt like one flourish too many, and the gown appears too long for her frame. The dents across the satin skirt only highlighted the fit issues, distracting from the sculptural details that should have been the focus.
Richard Quinn is usually so adept at balancing drama with elegance, but this look never quite comes together. Does this style need another chance, or, like me, will you be glad to never see it again?
