So apparently this is much more obvious in videos and a lot funnier, but overall just a small thing that petite ladies in entertainment have to deal with. Zhao Li Ying is known as very tiny in height and physique but she manages in dramas to deliver strong onscreen presence despite her petite frame. This week she was at a brand event at a store and wore a tuxedo pantsuit but she either didn’t have time to tailor the length or wanted to go for the very long pants look but she wore what C-netizens have calculated as about 5 inch platform heels underneath. She walked rather awkwardly since who wouldn’t balancing rather precariously on such height. C-netizens called her a hobbit on stilts and I’m sorry there is no hobbit as pretty as Zhao Li Ying ever lol. She’s more like a tiny elven queen on heels.
Lol. One of my classmates was mocking her this morning. It made me laugh because my classmate is precisely a short girl. 144cm, she has more than twenty.
I don’t like the outfit Zhao Li Ying wore anyways.
I don’t find Zhao Liying pretty. When I first started watching Chinese dramas I kept reading comments praising her beautiful looks, but I don’t see them. Beauty is definitely subjective. Back to the topic of the post, the outfit she is wearing does not suit her body type.
Short people problems. The suit is just too big. Gives me anxiety looking at it. One moment away to trip and fall forward or slip backwards like a banana peel slip.
Is this some new fashion or something?
Netizens mocked Zhao Lusi for this same thing just a few days ago because she had this same issue during filming. It genuinely is super visible and it does look like they are on stilts.
If it is fashion, please stop. If it is due to their height, stop anyway. Being short isn’t a sin.
Fashion obviously looks best on model-like bodies (skinny, long legs, tall) but actresses don’t necessarily need these proportions to succeed onscreen. If anything, it’s body proportions that affect how clothes look most. ZLY might be petite but her proportions are good and she had long legs, much like Bai Lu. Those with short legs and long torso like ZLS and Yang Zi have a harder time pulling off high fashion looks.
zhao lusi actually has good body proportion. she’s just petite. her bones are small.
That suit vaguely reminds me of the old Juicy Couture velour sweatsuits. And is Zhao Li-ying really that short? She seems around the height of your average cdrama actress and your average chinese woman. I would expect the netizens to be more sympathetic to having dress pants that are too long and needing tailoring.
ZLY must have a strong core to be able to balance and walk in those heels.
Are ballet flats back in style yet, along with the other 2000s fashion?

The main problem is ZLY does not know how to walk stylishly in super high heels. Covering her heels underneath pants is also a very dumb move. She might as well ride on a tall unicycle. Learn from Lady Gaga who can walk and dance in 9-inch heels and she shows her heels too (just google). LOL.
Chinese Netizen LOL
Their vocabulary is only : mock – ridicule
mock-ridicule! Your observation and description is quite precise. LOL.
some site praise her like female CEO
wonder why this site always post the negative reaction only?
First picture, looks like she has elephant legs. You can definitely give praises if you love elephants. Why this site / some site? Start your own site and Stop reading. LOL.
I do not understand why she would agree to wear such a badly fitting suit?? It really looks so large on her. As a artiste of her calibre…I am very surprised she has no say what outfit she will agree to wear that will suit her and make her look elegant. The decision to agree to wear this suit and those uncomfortable high heels shoes are both unwise and will definitely open herself to criticism.
Walking elegantly on 5inch heels needs alot of training… She clearly did not have enough time to practise in them.
I really hope she will not subject herself to such situation again.
There is new drama : The Legend of Heroes
there are people who love wuxia…they praise this new drama
as it unique and creative.
And guess what? 1000 Keyboard Warrior start to slander this series
they said Huang Rong is ugly (they should look -if men – their partner which one more beautiful….and if lady – look at the mirror and compare LOL)
Want to bet …which comment will this site post? positive or negative one?
The outfit is horrible and does suit someone with petit figure like ZLY
But can we also mock those report and their $1 tripod stick too, but they still walking around demanding “respect”
The outfit doesn’t fit her. Either she should have worn a shorter jacket or skinny ankle-length pants with this longer jacket. This whole outfit makes her look shorter.
Stunning jewels!
