Style Evolution: Jesseca Liu

Before she was "The Queen", Jesseca was just another low-key girl next door, babydoll top, blue jeans, and all.

But perhaps Jesseca’s satin nightie and frizzy mop were indicative of a hidden wild side.

Back to the sweet look for Women of the Times. Apparently, we weren’t the only ones who thought crimped hair was cool.

Ah, 2006, when shaggy layers were as ubiquitous as granny hair is today. Remember how much of a nightmare it was to flatten flyaways? We’re never getting this haircut again, and we doubt that Jesseca will either.

We’re so used to seeing Jesseca with her long flowy tresses that we forgot she once rocked a pixie cut....

...and uh, fell victim to this lilac potato sack of a dress. It’s okay, Jesseca, we’ve all been there, worn that.

Jesseca, who sticks to simple hairstyles nowadays, is practically unrecognisable with her choppy fringe and stringy ‘do.

Kohl-rimmed eyes, ruddy cheeks, wispy bangs, rhinestones, satin prom dress — yup, this outfit is a straight-up time capsule to 2007.

Shirtdresses never go out of style, so chunky belt aside, this may be an outfit worth resurrecting.

Unlike the Jesseca we know today, the Jesseca of yesteryear had no problem wearing bright colours on the red carpet.

Jesseca's outfit is surprisingly chill, given the occasion.

We can’t be the only ones who completely forgot about the short-lived bubble shorts trend, which flattered only those with legs as long as Jesseca’s (if you’ve got it, flaunt it).

Another one-shouldered gown? At least lilac isn’t as hard on the eyes as bright pink or yellow, marking Jesseca's foray into a more subdued colour palette.

Jesseca did a 180 style-wise the following year, opting for a simple black gown and wet hair.

Jesseca stayed true to 2011’s style trends by showing off bold hues, colourblocking, and er, an Ali Baba-worthy balloon jumpsuit? We'll give her points for deviating from her usual look.

Yeah, yeah, this isn’t a “hot or not”, but we can’t help ourselves: Jesseca is about as delicious as the lattice pie crust she’s wearing.

After years of showing up to the Star Awards dressed in wedding dinner gowns, Jesseca finally stepped it up with a Louis Vuitton laser cut organza dress.

Jesseca might have walked away empty-handed that year, but who needs a Star Awards trophy when you look like an Oscar statuette?

Jesseca was equal parts sexy and sweet in her chic crop top and floral maxi skirt.

If Jesseca was going for a chic Morticia Addams look with her icy-yet-sultry gaze and black Stella McCartney gown, she totally nailed it.

True to her character in The Queen, Jesseca evoked confidence and strength in her Tony Ward Couture gown.

After channelling her inner warrior princess at Star Awards 2016 Part 1, Jesseca showed off her softer side in an elegant Bulgari gown.

Jesseca's all-black ensemble is anything but boring, thanks to her brocade skirt, and lattice and cold shoulder details on her top.

Jesseca stole the show in an embellished white gown from Berta Bridal. (In retrospect, a portend of things to come.)

As if her previous gown weren't stunning enough, Jesseca had to accept her Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes Award in this sparkly "naked" dress from Zuhair Murad.

Jesseca tied the knot in a bare-shouldered gown from Galia Lahav, carried by Singapore boutique The Proposal.

Jesseca looked all loved-up (and matchy-matchy!) with Jeremy in a bespoke red cheongsam.

Jesseca’s confectionery-like tiered white gown just needs some icing to really look like a wedding cake – in the best way possible of course.

Jesseca looked tres chic in a belted trench coat and pin-straight hair at the When Ghost Meets Zombie press conference, with hubby Jeremy suited up in “oppa style” in a similar shade of grey. Two thumbs up for couple wear.

Jesseca traded her usual frocks for a power suit for the press conference of her movie When Ghost Meets Zombie. We like!

Jesseca took the dress code a little too literally when she attended the Asia Rainbow TV Awards in Sanya in a frilly and princess-y rainbow dress. But we'll forgive her because she looked ethereal like a unicorn princess.
