Public perception of actress Liu Yifei

Overview

Public discussion regarding Chinese actress Liu Yifei has centered on her evolving image and iconic roles. Recent social media activity on Xiaohongshu saw vintage images from the drama ‘The Imperial Doctress’ go viral, with netizens describing her appearance as resembling a “fairy stepping out of a painting.”

This renewed interest has prompted broader reflections on her career trajectory. While she is widely celebrated for ethereal and pure characters, such as Xiaolongnü, Zhao Ling’er, and Wang Yuyan, discussions have also highlighted her stylistic diversity. Observers noted that her early career included bolder fashion choices, such as silver mini-dresses and striking black evening gowns, which contrasted with her traditional ‘fairy’ archetype in an effort to avoid being confined to a single persona.

More recently, Liu has trended online as fans compare her youthful appearance to her current look. Following an appearance at a brand event in Chengdu, where she wore a gold Tony Ward evening gown and Bulgari jewelry, netizens commented on a “reverse aging” effect. Observers noted that her facial features remain largely unchanged since her early career, reinforcing her reputation as the “fairy sister” of the Chinese entertainment industry.
