This is a picture from Wong Kar Wai's movie In the Mood for Love. Maggie Cheong's gorgeous qipaos created a come-back of this traditional Chinese dress.
This is NancyKwan wearing a qipao on the cover of Life magazine in the 60s. In Western popular culture, the qipao became synonymous with the 1960 movie character Suzie Wong and the sexual objectification of women.
This is the poster for the movie Spiderman I. The caucasian American woman wears a qipao in the movie, which sometimes people argue that this represents the idea of orientalism.
The popular Chinese Street Fighter video game character Chun-Li is very well known for her signature blue cheongsam (first seen in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior), worn with white knee-high boots, hair bun covers, and oversized spiked bracelets for a non-traditional style.
The model isn't wearing a qipao, she's wearing a bodypaint which looks so real!
