The crystal jewelry line of Swarovski has been using actress Park Shin Hye as its South Korean spokesmodel for so many years I’ve lost count but the selection has certainly paid off.

It’s so darn cute, or too much pretty in one frame, to see China’s top actresses all hanging out together at the 2018 Weibo Awards. Seated in a row and captured by cameras were Yang Mi, Angelababy, Ni Ni, and Liu Shi Shi, and actually Guli Nezha as well once the cameras panned out further.
