Valentino holds special meaning for me, especially creative director Alessandro Michele’s vintage-inspired designs, which are elegant, romantic and full of strength.”

According to Chinese and Taiwanese media reports, she now holds 27 endorsements, which reportedly puts her ahead of Yang Mi and makes her the Chinese drama actress with the most brand deals.
On the same day, Zhao Lusi shared a series of birthday photos on Xiaohongshu, a popular Chinese social media platform. In the photos, she wears a silver wig and a haute couture gown from Peet Dullaert’s fall/winter 2026 collection, her fifth couture collaboration with the label. The straight-neckline gown is made of layered pastel-purple tulle that shimmers like fish scales under the lights, and she paired it with a sparkling veil and butterfly accents. Chinese netizens praised the look, saying she resembled a mermaid princess stepping out of the sea.
Zhao Lusi is best known for hit dramas including Love Like the Galaxy (星汉灿烂) with Wu Lei, Hidden Love (偷偷藏不住) with Chen Zheyuan, and Love’s Ambition (许我耀眼) with William Chan.
Last year, Zhao Lusi fell ill before returning to work. She then regained momentum with Love’s Ambition and, according to media reports, parted ways with her former agency, Galaxy Entertainment. Although she has not returned to a drama set since then, brand offers have kept coming in.
Her last drama shoot was Almost Lover (恋人) with Peng Guanying in December 2024, before production was halted because of her illness. That means she has been away from new drama sets for nearly two years. This month, she is scheduled to begin filming Farewell Letter (告别信), a drama she is both directing and starring in. The series is part of Youku’s 2027 lineup.
