Former models Phan Như Thảo and Charmaine Sheh transition to private lives

Former models Phan Như Thảo and Charmaine Sheh have transitioned from prominent entertainment careers to private lives focused on family and business.

Phan Như Thảo, a former top model and actress in Vietnam, has moved away from the arts to found the Vietnam PMU’s Best Idol Awards, a professional competition for permanent makeup artists. After 11 years of marriage to businessman Đức An, she continues to manage her new career with the support of her husband and daughter.

Charmaine Sheh, who rose to fame as a model and actress in Hong Kong, has largely stepped away from the screen following her high-profile 2006 wedding to Lai Chung-ying, son of billionaire Li Ka-shing. Since her marriage, she has focused on family life and philanthropic activities while maintaining a presence within one of Hong Kong’s prominent business families.
