LayarHijau.com – Zhang Ruonan, the talented young actress who rose to fame through the drama The First Frost, continues to showcase her charm and acting skills. After successfully starring alongside Bai Jingting in the hit drama, Zhang Ruonan also made a guest appearance in Love in Pavilion with Liu Shishi, delivering a captivating performance that further boosted her popularity.
Recently, Zhang Ruonan graced the cover of the summer issue of the Chinese magazine Ellemen 新青年. In the photoshoot, she wore blue contact lenses, styled simply yet neatly, and appeared with a cool and calm vibe—very different from the character Wen Yifan she portrayed in The First Frost. Many netizens were amazed and commented, “Netizens stunned, Zhang Ruonan looks so different I almost didn’t recognize her.”
In The First Frost, Zhang Ruonan played Wen Yifan, a melancholy and cold character. Her father passed away when she was in high school, and since then she was neglected by her mother, lacking love and security from a young age. In the drama, she acted alongside Bai Jingting as Sang Yan, and their healing love story deeply touched the audience.
Previously, Zhang Ruonan was known for her clean makeup and innocent looks, earning her the nickname “first love goddess.” However, this time on the cover of Ellemen 新青年, her look was very different, featuring sharp blue contact lenses, extended eyeliner, and nude-toned makeup that gave her a mature and elegant appearance. This new style received widespread praise and was considered her best fashion statement to date.
According to Upmedia reports, Zhang Ruonan’s styling theme this time was “Breaking the Boundary and Being Reborn” — showcasing contrasting looks, from a romantic tight white dress to a bold black suit, creating a unique aesthetic blend. In an interview, Zhang Ruonan revealed that while filming in Hengdian, she watched movies every day as both relaxation and a way to learn. She emphasized that being an actor requires sensitivity to the world and society.
Additionally, Zhang Ruonan shared that letting go of the characters she plays has never really happened for her, and she even believes these characters live on in a parallel world. When she received the script for The First Frost, she was deeply moved by Wen Yifan, who, although seemingly fragile, was strong inside and kept moving forward despite many hardships.
This new look proves Zhang Ruonan’s ability to transform and surprise her fans with fresh faces and styles. Many are eagerly awaiting her next exciting projects.
