That does not look good. Kind of disappointing. I was expecting Hero and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Hong Kong style action but it doesn’t look nearly as good. Not to mention they removed Li Shang because the LGBTQIA+ undertones would hurt the sales in China. And the Mulan actress supporting police brutality in Hong Kong.

  @Captain Jovial I genuinely care about the CCP crackdown in Hong Kong. I just don’t really care about getting likes.

All Chinese support HK police! Hk protesters burned the innocent citizens just because he didn’t support the protesters!and he is in ICU , and the Chinese government afforded the cost to cure! All Chinese stand the same side with liuyifei!

i hope certain people can be less full of themselves. Not everything is about you. Blaming an actress for what happens in HK is the most misogynistic thing ever.

These backstories are so interesting and interesting to know that Yifei had a ballet background. I think that would help her in giving those flexible awesome stunts.

Scenes like these are really a collaborative effort and it’s great that Yifei and Yoson can do their own stunts

Yifei did a great job, she worked so hard. Stop spreading rumors and bringing politics into this, she has never supported police brutality , not every cop abuses power, whoever tried to attack her because of that is evil and ignorant. Just don’t watch the movie, nobody cares, there are a lot of fans and audience who will support this movie.

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
