Here are the local icons who served looks for Lunar New Year 2026

If we’re completely honest, half the fun of the Lunar New Year festivities comes from the fashion watching. Every year brings an unspoken challenge to take centuries of heritage and somehow make it look effortlessly modern.

This year, our local icons completely understood the assignment. Watching them step out for the festivities felt like a masterclass in getting it right. You’ll see sharp tailoring, muted palettes with sudden bursts of colour, and beautiful fabrics that do all the talking. If you’re looking for proof that heritage wear is having a major moment, you just need to keep scrolling.
