Eye Candy : Faye Wong for Elle

Faye Wong graces 3 special covers for the 26th anniversary issue of Elle China. In the accompanying editorial, also photographed by Chen Man and styled by Stephanie Zhuge, the stylish HK pop diva certainly appears as youthful and luminous as ever, that it's almost hard to believe she turned 45 this year. Faye was at the height of her popularity in the late 90's. I was such a fan of her music back then and really admired how she had such a strong individual style and experimented with different genres. She was also a successful actress, known most notably for her roles in Wong Kar Wai's Chungking Express and 2046. Last month she made a musical comeback with the song One Love Away which is the theme for the Chinese film One Step Away (触不可及). The atmospheric tune is quite true to her trademark style and her haunting vocals on it are just lovely.

Not to gossip but I read recently that Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse had reunited and it may've been Vicki Zhao Wei who brought them back together. The pair had famously dated over a decade ago before he married Cecilia Cheung and she wed Li Yapeng. There was an outpouring of fan support for the pair after the news broke and it seems their 11 year age difference isn't as big a deal anymore. Best of luck to them!
