Fala Chen Gets Front Row Treatment at Armani Fashion Show
With Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings becoming the top grossing Marvel film this year, its cast is flying high with greater international recognition. Fala Chen’s (陳法拉) Hollywood career got a boost, and the 39-year-old actress recently attended the Giorgio Armani Spring Summer 2022 fashion show during the Milan Fashion Week, and received front-row treatment.
Leaving TVB in 2013 to pursue a Master’s degree in Drama at New York’s The Julliard School, Fala signed with United Talent Agency. She broke into Hollywood through HBO’s The Undoing and followed up with Shang-Chi. Despite her limited screen time, her performance received positive buzz.
At the Armani fashion show, Fala sat in the front row alongside Guardians of the Galaxy’s Pom Klementieff and Game of Thrones star Shae Sibel Kekilli, Serena Rossi, and Celina Locks.
Fala has also been taking part in numerous shows and brand events in the last year, including the Crossroads project which is comprised of 14 independent women who tell the stories behind their own personal lives. As the project is highly selective, Fala is the only Hong Kong representative to join.

I find Fala is pretty and has a unique look since her debut. She has the potential to become a classic beauty like the MHKs in the 70/80/90s. Her acting, on the other hand, was never something to write home about. I can’t recall she was able to emote any range during her TVB days. I can’t say she improved or not since her Julliard graduation since I didn’t watch The Undoing.
In Shang Chi, I *think* her character is supposed to be stoic, so she didn’t have to or purposely didn’t show any emotion. I’m still on a fence about the casting of her in Shang Chi, lol. I appreciate how they didn’t doll her up and went with sex-sell for the whole love at first sight. I like how they went with the fact that Wenru fell in love with her because of her strength and polar opposite way of life; not to mention she’s the first to beat him for decades. Then on the other hand, I lowkey wish they used someone like Gemma for the role because she has this exquisitely exotic look. Maybe then I would be more convinced that Wenru would burn down a whole village for her, who possesses beauty, brain, AND brawn.
I know I’m way overly analyzing the movie, lol. What can I say, I really like it. This is the TLC and direction that Mulan live action should’ve gotten, but I never got.

I like Fala but her acting in TVB was so so,
Haven’t seen Shang Chi due to lockdown, but in the The Undoing she had limited scenes and didn’t add anything to the story,
Test. My comment won’t published? What’s going on?

Gemma would tower over Tony Leung height-wise, besides looking too young for him. She’s gorgeous, but her exotic looks would play into the western stereotype of exotic/erotic Asian women.
Gemma has the beauty and the acting! She’s so mesmerising to watch! I love her!
gemma would have fitted the role. you’re right, fala really doesn’t have the acting skills in her tvb days. haven’t watched shangchi so can’t judge. fala is 5’7. i’ve seen her in person so she is that height. don’t know how tall gemma is but i think she looks about the same on screen.
Agree she was just lucky with shangchi. Nothing special about her acting in it lol :/

got the figure, got the height.
Western media only promotes WMAF. She is considered one of them because she has a white husband
maybe because the guy doesn’t regard a 30+ woman as ugly and as over-the-hill?
