[STYLE] 2014 TVB Anniversary Gala Red Carpet Fashions
The 48th TVB Anniversary Gala was held on November 19, 2014 with over 100 artistes in attendance. Aside from Wong Cho Lam‘s marriage proposal to Leanne Li, the red carpet looks also created memorable moments for the evening.
BEST LOOKS
Sexy Samantha Ko never ceases to amaze. The purple-blue, off shoulder mermaid dress from Moreno Bridal accentuates the curves of her body in just the right places. The Titanic-themed jewelry is kept minimal and couples well with her overall look.
Love Krystal Tin’s rocker-chic hairstyle! The dress covers everything, but is the right amount of humbly sheer. Krystal Tin pulls off this otherwise difficult dress well with a well chosen belt. A win for the night!
ALMOST THERE
Kate Tsui dons a pale-pink colored bodice dress. While the dress flatters her bust and displays an intriguing open-back, the cutting of the dress fails to accentuate her figure and makes her appear plumper than usual.
While the sheerness of Charmaine Sheh‘s dress brings out a demure sexiness, the heaps of flower cut outs are too busy and ruin the elegance of the dress.
Koni Lui showcases her hourglass figure in an Alex Lam metallic-colored mermaid dress.
Angela Tong and Eliza Sam look pleasant, but in forgettable dresses. Christine Kuo fares better in a flattering Winnie Heung black-lace dress, but it is Grace Wong‘s sheer teal gown by CindyAlan that stands out from the crowd of pageant beauties at the TVB Anniversary.
Alice Chan‘s dress is in a striking magneta, but the draping detail appear loose and sluggish. The jewelry is exaggerated glitz and glamour though.
Once again, Sharon Chan shows that she has not put behind her wedding mood. The red with gold embroidery is reminiscent of a traditional Chinese style wedding dress, which is nearly wrecked by over-the-top jewelry glitz.
TEEN-INSPIRED LOOKS
Angela Chiang looks ready for her prom date in a R.E.D. Valentino lace dress and glittery pumps. Did she shop in the juniors section of a department store?
Excited bride-to-be Leanne Li shows off her figure in another teen girl prom dress.
UNDERDRESSED
Elaine Yiu appears clean and sleek in her clashing red top and white suit pant attire. The red cuffs are random, while the overall ensemble appear too casual for the event.
Sire Ma sports a simple light pink bodice dress. With a clean updo and marginal jewelry, her overall look is modest and uninteresting.
DISAPPOINTING LOOKS
Ruco Chan is a heartthrob, but the golden suit from Etro has a strong plaid pattern that is difficult for anyone to pull off. The matching tie and clashing polka dot shirt overwhelms the already loud ensemble.
Kenneth Ma’s flamingo-colored suit insinuates a metrosexual edge. While the fitting of the suit is seemly, unfortunately Kenneth can not pull off pink.
Myolie Wu’s Tadashi Shoji dress may have been inspired by the judicial courts, with its high ruffled white shirt and austere black skirt. Completing the judge look is Myolie’s strange hairdo.
Linda Chung seems to have wrapped the red carpet itself around her in a scarlet Moiselle dress. While her look exudes a princess flair, she accessorizes with conflicting black nails. Her pink lips and light makeup are also dull.
Natalie Tong’s Pius Cheung dress stretches dangerously high up her leg. The top is tolerable, but the bottom portion of her dress is stiff and oddly stitched.
While I usually love high-low dresses and skirts, I am not a fan of Katy Kung’s attire. The light pink tone of her Moreno Bridal dress is girlish and the material of the dress is heavy and lackluster.
Priscilla Wong hauls an enormous nude-colored dress by Pius Cheung on her thin frame at the event. Although the chiffon material should be relatively light, the bulky frame consumes her small body.
ODD CHOICES
Is Bosco Wong trying to audition for the role of a priest in a new exorcist film? His robe-like suit is odd, to say the least.
Dodo Cheng yet again appears in a cutesy and girlish light pink gown by her favorite designer, Dorian Ho. The exaggerated rose configures right smack in the middle of her chest.
Liza Wang seems to have been inspired by Lady Liberty herself with the spiked diadem hair piece. The purple outfit is relatively meek, but is paired with a peculiar pastel-colored necklace.

Wow! I really like Charmaine Sheh’s outfit it looks awesome even better then the others in the other photos!!
Sharmaine looks stunning!
Bosco is the only guy here with fashion sense.
Bosco dress like this all the time. Used to it now.
I agree with Charmaine, her dress looks nice, I like Sharon’s dress too. I don’t agree with the Best look. I am not fancying either dress! The Men in HK have some colorful bizarre taste in evening look! OMG Bosco and RUco what in the world are you two thinking??
I agree with Mike. Man-skirt is so yesterday lol. He needs to wear real pants or go with a kilt. Stop straddling the line lol.
Ruco baby can do better. He’d look dashing in better suits with the bald head.
Well as odd Ruco and Bosco’s fashion choices are don’t stop them from winning that small bike race, in a robe and checkered suit.
Bosco’s fashion sense is really strong lol
Charmaine Sheh’s dress looked very dressy and elegant. She also looked the prettiest (at least to me!).
I think Charmaine’s long dress would look nicer if the bottom is not that flair.
Typo …….. it should read “flare”, and not “flair”.
Charmaine Sheh’s dress looked very dressy and elegant. She also looked the prettiest in those photos (at least to me!).
Did Kate have some surgery to her face? I notice in another post that her face looks different somehow.
She looks like she had surgery / botox…. awkward… lol
Maybe she has that “face paralysis” like Ella Koon supposedly had/has xD
I love Kate but I also think that her eyes look more tired…iDK
Her eyes no longer look the same.. Even in Jayne star’s post about her being scare of plastic surgery.
I like how her eyes looked before. That was her signature look.
Oh no Kate….what have you done to yourself? You used to look so pretty and now there’s just something not right about your face, especially your eyes. You’re messing with your signature eyes. Sigh…
To me, Kristal’s dress is like a curtain. It just hangs on her. You don’t have to show skin to be sexy, but at least makes it fitting so show off some curves. It’s one of the wlrst dresses imo. On the other hand, I like Charm’s dress. The flowers don’t bother me, and they’re not overwhelming either. I like Natalie and Elaine top piece. Maybe it would’ve been better if they pair it with pencil skirt? Does Dodo have no bust? It looks like she uses a giant flower in their place lol?
The guys were disappointing. Maybe Ruco and Kenneth should’ve traded suites lol.
The dress made Priscilla Wong look super flat chested. LOL
C’mon guys n gals ur fashion too low-key for such occassion, Kate Tsui n Sire Mas d best for d nite though. Wanna c super international brands for d BIG award nite ppl!
holy moooly! Konis hour glass!
So…Kate Tsui is wearing a lingerie that mimics as an evening gown by putting extra fabric to the lower part. Another bad choice.
I must say the men dress up better than the women here. All these women must have been drunk when they selected their evening gowns.
Wow Ron , Raymond , Tavia and some other stars are missing.
If you are talking about Raymond Lam his contract ended and he left.
I like myolie wu dress.. elegance and match her character. ..nice choice.
Agree. Love it too
I actually liked Myolie and Priscilla’s dress the most. I thought they both looked pretty elegant.
So damn agree with you.
The outfit choices this year is much better. Most artists had good choices that showcased their body.
What were Natalie Tong wearing?? The slit has overkilled the dress! Linda Chung’s dress is so boring… But I kinda like Myolie’s dress, made her look classy!
I can’t decide who dressed the worst between Ruco, Dodo and Kenneth.
probably Dodo. She fails to impress every time with her immature pink dresses.
Kate’s face keep looking weird and weird nowadays and she looks short and plump. The dress looks like lingerie.
What about Nancy!? Leanne’s dress was a part of her magic act, not her actual outfit
I like charmaines dress alot n Bosco finally looks good this time cause I remeber he had a cowboy look last year
Kate face do appear bloated but I’ve also notice that she was gone tge whole entire night
I also like Myolie Wu’s lace top, but not so much the plain skirt. My second favorite is Grace Wong’s teal dress; the color is one of my favorites and the sheer panels add edginess to the dress.
Linda’s dress is so boring.
I like Grace Wong’s dress, and Katy Kungs’s best!
gosh, who is the one who dressed the men that night? ruco looks yucky in that ensemble. kate tsui & koni lui look fat.
newly wed Sharon looks good as always.
if the guys had stuck to the classic black bow tie and suits, they will look absolutely handsome!
Give Koni a break, she looks great for someone who just gave birth.
Agree, I think Koni looks great.
I think Kenneth looks fine LOL
I think charmaine dress looks splendid and Bosco looks good for once out of his outfit he’s been wearing I remember he looked like a cowboy for the 47th anniversery
Kate face looks bloated I think she been gettin to much botox
Charmaine dress is the best, most outstanding, Grace second.
Kristal and Myolie look great’
Linda and Kate no good.
KATE……..SMH
I like Myolie and Grace.
No photo of Nancy? She looks quite good too I thought.
Worst dressed definitely Natalie Tong, and Liza Wang (the feathers on her hair just look ridiculous)
I like Myolie Wu’s dress the most. Makes her look so elegant and tall too. Pricilla is OK too. RUCO, OMG you can do much much better. That is totally ridiculous and he looks short. BOSCO – OMG, hideous fashionista look or what? haha lol…Liza woman – surprisingly looking good? 🙂
Kristal Tin dress is michael kors
Sexy Samantha Ko does look sexy. Can Wong Cho Lam wear some heels or something next to the soon to be wife???? hahah LOL OMG…
I also like Grace Chan’s and Sharon Chan’s.
ruco wearing a leapord suit trying to look like a leopard. props to him for wearing that.
Natalie Tong has the worst dress. Bad cut on top and cheap leg show. Koni and Kate have their choices to make themselves chubbier than they really are. Linda has a plain dress despite the color. The curtain doesnt make Kristin look elegant.
For the guys, lol. The daring guys are OTT in fashion while the other have boring choice.
I like your top 2 choices. I must say Kristal always manages to look edgy and yet glamarous even if she is not standout beautiful. I disagree on Kenneth. I thought the suit cutting and colour suits him. Yes Ruco is awful. Cutting is awful, colour is awful, print is awful. Wayne actually looks great, why no picture? Jason Chan must have received a wrong memo saying this is office party, he was severely underdressed. But some girls are overdressed, like Natalie, what’s up with the cleavage heavy dress? Why?
Charmaine’s dress to me is not nice. Makes her look old and too much flowers. She likes different and she should look at Kristal for inspiration.
Bosco is the perpetual worst dressed, with Edwin I suppose.
Myolie looks matronly and yet he can carry out the look. Another actress may look like she stepped out from some old victorian picture.
Btw,Funn. Seems like you have stopped following news and writing articles on Ruco . Missed that very much (:
Yes Ruco is awful. Cutting is awful, colour is awful, print is awful.
————————————————————–
I agree. I never think Ruco Chan has good fashion taste.
Does he have a choice what he wears? Thought their clothes are chosen for them.
Of course they have a choice. Even if sponsored he can choose. I think he wants to standout but that’s just silly. Dress like Wayne. Stylish. I miss Ruco in super tight jeans. The cutting is really awful.
If the cutting has been better maybe he will look good despite the colour and pattern. It looks ill fitting unlike Kenneth which actually fits.
Though Kenneth Ma’s outfits were a bit funny and too stylish, at least he looked quite okay in them. He looked rather sweet in that kind of outfits.
Personally I still like men dressed up nicely in either dark suits, tuxedos, or a nice but flashy jacket matched with black dress pants for formal occasions.
Kate seems to look different now, I could not explain how but just different. She looks very tired and her face look different. The dress does not suit her too. I think Kenneth looks okay but maybe dark color suits him better. Maybe his pink suit was to make him eye catching? Haha. Personal opinion.
I actually like Myolie’s ensemble. I think it shows of her slender figure well, and it is rather elegant. Not a huge fan of Kate’s dress, Linda’s choice of dress, to me, is a safe choice, would look better if it was a darker share of red that doesn’t blend into the carpets.
I also really like Myolie’s dress. It looks elegant and different from usual evening gowns.
Agreed, Myolie Wu is usually doing something different but nice, which I like.
Charmaine Sheh is too short for such a busy outfit, which is totally wearing her. And, her hairstyle is a major “yuck”. Actually, she is too short for most of her outfits in LW as well.
Samantha Ko is the “best look” winner.
Agree with you about Myolie Wu and Charmaine Sheh.
The comments are pretty spot on. Just have a few other comments: Koni’s gown looked like a corset. Hated Kristal’s dress and hair do. Seems there’s a preference for see thru gowns this time. Grace’s see thru gown looks fab while Kristal’s screamed cheap. Kate’s been looking weird lately, her face looks bloated and her eyes, as some have already pointed out, now look different. Liza looked like a clown with those awkward black quills sticking out from her head. I couldn’t stop laughing whenever i saw her. For the guys, Ruco gave me a headache. I later found out that this is Etro’s 2015 catwalk look, the catwalk model even wore the same tie. However, I have to say that he doesn’t look that bad in still pics as compared to the video. Bosco’s look as usual screamed “ridiculous”, hahaha, look at that super long jacket and bell-bottomed pants, no less! Kenneth Ma oh boy, never seen him looking more wimpish in pink and i only just noticed that he had his ear pierced too. Sorry to say that while Ruco rocked the ear-stud, it looks weird on Kenneth, just doesn’t suit his style.
agreed that Kenneth doesn’t look right with an ear stud- only Moses and Ruco can pull that 😛 Also, why does Dodo keep trying to act so freaking young by wearing princessy dresses that probably only Eliza can pull off? It’s really annoying seeing Dodo in those light pastel pink dresses.
in regards to Leanne’s dress, her original outfit is a white ball gown. the black “tean girl prom dress” was her outfit for the magic show.
Koni Lui looks a bit uglier and I don’t think that she deserves to be in “ALMOST THERE”. However, I seem to think that Linda and Leanne should be placed in an average group, because they don’t look that bad to be called disappointing or underdressed. No hate though.
My favourite dresses were those worn by Samantha, Sharon, Grace, Eliza, Myolie, Linda and Katy. I actually didn’t mind Ruco and Kenneth’s suit combinations; they were something different and interesting. I think they pulled it off well and it made them stand out in a good way!
Ruco actually looks very hunky in the still pics. My first impression was ewwww but now i think he carried off the look quite well.
I like myolie wu dress BEST. She looks classy and beautiful. Follow by Linda Chung 2nd, her dress is simple but looks gd on her, because Linda has a soft look.
i like myolies the most. looks elegant. and whats with the guys outfits…. they looks horrible lol
kate’s face looked rather puffy.
it can’t be that she is out of shape but the dress doesn’t do justice to her.
Kate face looks kind of deform!!!
Why isnt Joey Meng in the event she’s a part of Come On Cousin but come to think about it she wasnt in last year anniversery as well I wonder why
Krystal and Myolie look the best to me that night.
Charmaine’s dress is very pretty, but sorry I don’t think it matches with her man’s look face and hair style. If she doesn’t smile she looks OK, once she smiles she looks ugly. (because she has a big mouth). Compare to those younger artistes, she looks old and dry.I don’t know why, personally I don’t like her much, I always feels she is too proud of herself. I know after I send this messages out, lots of you will complain what I said, but too bad, this is what I think!! One more thing I want to say is, In this event, the best dress to me is Natalie Tong, although her dress is too sexy, but it matches her so well.(long hair, beautiful face and with good personality). 🙂
Sorry, you have very funny and strange tastes. Most people here, including me, think Natalie Tong has the ugliest outfits among all female artistes, and you like hers the best. No wonder you don’t like Charmaine’s. Not surprised then.
Sandcherry, funny is just stating an opinion. There’s no need to attack and say she has very funny and strange taste. You said many people liked charmaine’s dress and not natalie’s. There are many silent readers out there who don’t bother to comment. They may very well find Charmaine’s dress and her ugly. Just becos you love her dress doesn’t mean you have good taste. Btw I agree with everything funny said about charmaine and her dress. I don’t like nat’s dress but it wasn’t the worst that day. To each his own.
I like Natalie’s dress too. The split is a bit too high for my taste. But, I like the overall design. Very unique. 🙂
I disagree with your opinion on Charmaine though. Her dress is also beautiful and she looks fabulous in it. The short hair match the dress well.
samantha looks amazing! it really accentuates her figure!
krystal tin looks like a mess. I also like nancy’s dress which isnt featured here.
Based on the photos above, I like Sammy Leung’s outfits the most among male artistes ………. different, shinny but dressy.
Charmaine’s dress is one of the only hits for me. Without the flower pattern, it would have been a very boring dress despite the sheer bottom. Only I don’t like her modern crop for such a romantic dress.
I think hell must have frozen over because I actually like Linda and Myolie’s dresses? But Linda’s dress is very simple so she should have accessories and that middle part is too casual and does absolutely nothing for her. Equally, Myolie’s dress is actually quite interesting with the romantic lace top contrasting the simple black skirt, but her godawful hair is awful. Not only is it bizarre, worse, it’s ugly as sin.
I don’t like Natalie Tong’s dress at all. It’s already tacky with the gold print but it’s extra extra tacky with that high split. However, she had excellent hair and makeup game and looked very pretty.
Sorry, but I don’t agree on the top two. Samantha’ dress could have been nice if it’s been better made. I.e. all the weird puckering and wrinkles makes it look like your mother made it on her sewing machine. Kristal’s hair is very edgy cool, however, her dress is so bohemian. It’s two completely contracting styles that I don’t think she pulls off. I also think the dress is simply too “casual” for Gala.
Eliza Sam is usually reliable with a “safe” choice, but she missed the mark this time.
The rest got their dresses from the prom bargain shop. Or was recycling their Miss HK dresses.
Kate’s dress was very elegant looking if you ask me. she looked stunning in it! & for the eyes looking different… it could just be the makeup ? I don’t know though. she looked gorgeous anyway!
I love Myolie’s dress…so.elegant also i like grace’s too!
Agree that Myolie’s dress is still the best
