NEW YORK—Chinese actress Tiffany Tang, also known as Tang Yan, was left feeling embarrassed after it was discovered that she had worn a counterfeit high-end dress on the red carpet in Shanghai recently.
The popular actress, who rose to fame in China for her roles in Chinese dramas, inadvertently wore a knockoff Elie Saab dress to the 18th Shanghai International Film Festival earlier this month. Representatives from Elie Saab saw media reports about the event and informed Tang’s office of her fashion faux pas.
The incident highlights the troubles with counterfeiting in China, where you can pay top dollar and still end up with a fake.
