'Dragon' queen spits fire in style
Actress Qin Hailu has been making a name for herself (and not a good one) by criticizing fellow thespian Fan Bingbing, who wore a "dragon gown" for the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival last week.
On her micro-blog (China's version of Twitter) Qin claimed Fan demonstrated her overweening ambition by wearing the impressive dress at the French film event. The implication was that Fan was positioning herself as China's leading lady by wearing the typically Chinese creation on international stage.
On Sunday, Fan told Sina.com she didn't care what people were saying about the dress - though it was featured on all the red carpet fashion blogs and was almost unanimously considered a big hit. She then mocked Qin by saying the actress wouldn't dare wear such a gown, inferring she doesn't have the figure or the charisma to carry it off.
