Even before her Calvin Klein campaign was unveiled this week, Lingling Kwong had already proven herself to be the queen of jeans. The Hong Kong-born, Thailand-based actress made her name in Thai GL series like The Secret of Us and Only You, but she has also been on our fashion radar: Lingling, along with her Only You co-star Orm Kornnaphat, are both Dior brand ambassadors, and have been made plenty of appearances at Paris Fashion Week.
But it’s Lingling’s off-duty style that has captured our attention. Whether on vacation or in transit at the airport, the 30-year-old star wears denim with an It-girl flair. One day, she’s pairing her jeans with a statement blazer, and the next, she’s sprucing up a casual look with a silk scarf, the hottest accessory of the moment.
Ahead, take some sartorial notes from Lingling Kwong’s best denim outfits and see how you can pull off styles like boyfriend jeans or wide-leg denim pants yourself.
How To Wear Jeans Like Lingling Kwong:
One way to wear jeans differently from everyone else? Show off the cuffs, as Lingling does in this airport fashion moment. The actress paired a white tank top with Dior’s boyfriend jeans, whose rolled-up cuffs reveal the Dior Oblique motif on the inside. Instead of sneakers, Lingling sported a pair of loafers that gave her easy outfit an air of sophistication.
You’ll notice that Lingling loves a silk scarf, and it’s easy to see why. There are plenty of ways to wear that timeless accessory—such as knotting it to the belt loop of your jeans, as Lingling does in this look. The actress also flaunts her expertise on colour theory by styling her scarf and baggy blue jeans with a going-out top in butter yellow, a complementary shade.
Lingling knows how to make denim look smart. In Paris, she styled a navy blazer with a black turtleneck top and a pair of dark grey jeans. The straight-leg design of her jeans, as well as its dark hue, made it just understated enough to complete her monochromatic ensemble.
If you’re headed to the beach club, you can’t go wrong with a breezy, crochet tank top and a pair of blue jeans. Lingling emphasises the summery mood by accessorising her outfit with yet another statement silk scarf, worn as a bandana; a pair of gold-tone sunglasses; and designer slides.
Not sure how to start wearing prints? Take it from Lingling, who wore a printed T-shirt with a matching silk scarf and an embroidered tote bag, all adorned in florals. The actress grounds the prettiness of her outfit with a pair of no-nonsense grey jeans.
Lingling’s denim wardrobe isn’t limited to blue or grey jeans. The actress incorporated a pair of white, wide-leg jeans in this preppy ensemble, styled with a striped, long-sleeve polo shirt and chunky loafers. For a quirky touch, the Thai star also showed off a fun keychain charm by attaching it to her jeans, instead of a bag.
At Paris Fashion Week, Lingling showed off her version of the Canadian tuxedo. The Only You star created a double denim moment by layering a slouchy denim shirt over her black turtleneck and high-waisted blue jeans. The key is making sure the blues of your denim match—and sticking to neutrals for the rest of your look, as demonstrated by Lingling’s white sneakers.
