There’s a viral photo shop series going around this past week featuring a handful of the currently most popular Chinese actresses spliced into the iconic Cinderella live-action movie poster featuring Lily James. It’s totally worth checking out even if the photo shop skills aren’t the best and some of the pictures used of certain actresses are less than ideal choices. It gives a great visual comparison of Western versus Eastern ideals of beauty, no one would argue that any of the C-actresses featured weren’t objectively beautiful in their own way, or even as beautiful as Lily James, but the pictures show that not every beautiful actress really fits the image of the iconic Cinderella. It belies the reason for the casting gripes anytime a C-actress is cast for an iconic wuxia heroine role where the description is specific and the particular actress just didn’t have type of beauty to pull it off. Of all the C-actresses featured in this series, Angelababy looks the best and that’s probably because she’s a quarter German, whereas Crystal Liu may be the perfect Chinese ancient beauty but totally off-putting as a Western princess.

HAHAHAHAHA that last one.
I wasn't expecting that. XD
Oh wait there's another one. :|
I meant the 2nd to last is veeeeeeeeery bad photoshop. Made me LOL.
Slightly off-topic, but I have counted at least 3 shaved jawbones. Would love to see what happens to their faces in a couple of decades.
Crystal Liu was prett, for sure.
Crystal Liu was always overrated to me. Angelababy for the win, she is beyond pretty.
AngelaBaby FTW! She looks great on the manipped costume. :-)
Speaking of Cinderella, loved the movie and Lily James on it as the title role.
The gwei lun mei one looks good as well.
LOL...they all look so cheesy. Disney feel! hahaha..
Lol... yellow one tong li ya looks tooo happy, crystal liu looks constipated and tang yan is bad photoshopping!
The ones that looks good are angelababy, gwui lun mei, li xiao lu (if they slightly made her face smaller), and liu shi shi.
The other ones either have bad photoshop or wrong use of pic.
First time crystal Liu looks average. Gui Lun Mei looks surprisingly good though.
