For the Tatler Ball at The Londoner Macao, two of our community members turn to Chopard to get ready
From numerous charity galas to the city’s biggest launch parties, Tatler community members Joyce Tam and Anne Wang Liu are no strangers to elegant and elaborate Hong Kong events—and looking good goes hand in hand with the invitation.
“I try to choose a colour for my outfit first and then match my make-up style to it,” says Wang Liu, who believes that the hours leading up to an evening of glitz and glamour are a big part of the fun. Tam agrees, outlining her routine, from skincare to wardrobe and finishing her look with make-up.
The two women have equally glamorous but unique styles. Tam opts for pieces that exude “comfort and elegance”, and names Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow as style icons. Wang Liu prefers “classic and structured silhouettes” with a pop of colour, citing Cate Blanchett’s sense of her personality and creativity as inspiration. “I believe a woman’s outfit should express her many layers: her femininity, her ambition, her creativity—and that every woman is extraordinary in her own way,” she says.
Philanthropist Wang Liu can often be seen in “drop earrings or a necklace set, depending upon the neckline of my gown”. She sees jewellery as adding depth to an ensemble, as with Chopard’s High Jewellery Collection bracelet in 18 karat ethical white gold and titanium, set with aquamarines, blue topaz and diamonds, boasting “deep rich shades [that] are timeless and can be worn for any occasion”.
