CHANTALLE NG, 27
Actor
How would you describe your sense of style?
First of all, I have to be comfortable. I avoid certain outfits that are too revealing or that I don’t feel confident in because, when I’m wearing something, I want to be comfortable enough to be myself and just dance around. My style is also driven by me wanting to be different and trying various looks. I hope when people think of my style, it’s not one look in particular because I like to play with all kinds of different looks.
How has your style evolved over the years?
In the past, I always fell back on what I was comfortable with or what I thought looked good. Now, I feel a lot more confident. I don’t mind trying looks that are different from what I’m used to, and I don’t mind if it doesn’t make me look “pretty”—like the common standard of what an actress should look like, which is usually girly, feminine, girl-next-door. That was what I wanted to look like in the past, but it’s definitely not something I go for anymore. I am now a little more fearless—as long as I feel good in it, I will go for it. I think the biggest cause of that change is that I stopped caring about what people might think.
