Huat Or Not: What Local Stars Wore For Chinese New Year

Zoe’s deep-plunging and floor-sweeping red hot number by Andrew Gn stole the show at the Lunar New Year’s Eve countdown show. We love how graceful she looked.

Huat or not?: Huat!

Lawrence’s Gucci ensemble consisting of a sharp velvet suit and contrasting powder blue shirt made him look like a prince in a fairytale.

Huat or not?: Huat and very stylish too.

The Lye family stole our hearts with their megawatt smiles and cheery outfits. Diana looked especially huat in a red puffy sleeve top and pink trousers.

Huat or not?: Huat, but we wished their outfits were a bit more colour-coordinated.

Joanne threw style rules out of the window by styling a bold orange printed frock with shiny red stilettos, a black oversized tote and multiple beaded necklaces. It's a little loud but we think she pulled it off confidently.

Huat or not?: Huat.

The print on Desmond’s red and black cardigan by Alexander McQueen might appear abstract at first glance, but zoom in and you will see that it's a peony-like design.

Huat or not?: Understated kind of huat.

Teaming a tiger stripe cheongsam-inspired top with black denim shorts and high knee boots, Chantalle’s look says: “Hear me roar!”

Huat or not?: Huat and roar-some.

The Dior trench coat might be too OTT for CNY visiting, but we think Becks pulled it off with aplomb. Not crazy about the beige culottes, which reminds us of policemen's shorts from days of yore.

Huat or not?: Huat for the top, not for the bottom.

Jumbo sized blooms, checked. Auspicious hues, checked. Kit’s gorgeous gown by Andrew Gn took our breath away. If this isn’t an entrance-making number, we don't know what is.

Huat or not?: Huat, bold and blooming beautiful!

Opting for a fuss free and failsafe bold red cheongsam, Fann colour-coordinated her CNY look with her son Zed who looked extra adorbs in a Shanghai Tang mein lap.

Huat or not?: Double the huat!

No prizes for guessing what Vernon dressed up as for CNY. While his God of Fortune look is pretty on point, he's missing one important accessory: ingots.

Huat or not?: Minus points, but still huat.

Carrie’s Y2K inspired-look is very on trend and she looks stylish in it, but all we can look at is that super auntie bag.

Huat or not?: Not

Huat or not?: Huat and very patriotic!

A black tee on CNY? Even the daisy print on Benjamin's acid wash top and auspicious greetings on the wall can't huat-ify this look.

Huat or not?: Not.

Instead of wearing tiger themed pieces, Xiuhuan got creative with her CNY outfit, pairing her tweed cheongsam with a tiger shaped balloon. Cute.

Huat or not?: Huat and Insta-worthy.

We love everything about Rui En’s frock, from the asymmetric style to the huatastic hue and corset bodice.

Huat or not?: Huat and hawt

Paige, who performed at Mediacorp's Lunar New Year countdown show, stood out among the stars with her romantic filly frock. We’re loving the sweet, date night-worthy look.

Huat or not?: Quite huat

It's yet another qipao for cheongsam lover Hong Ling. She and boyfriend Nick even coordinated their outfits when they went visiting. Nice.

Huat or not?: Huat and very sweet.

We’re loving how Tay Ying elevated her denim jumpsuit with a bold red beret and Hello Kitty crossbody from Kipling.

Huat or not?: Huat and kawaii.

While her floral cheongsam-inspired two-piece is very on point, Bonnie looks a little washed out with the pale makeup. Perhaps a touch of blusher might do the trick to brighten up her look.

Huat or not?: Not.

Bingyu nailed the Cottagecore fashion trend in this sweet confection complete with beautiful blooms and a detachable collar bib.

Huat or not?: Huat.

Huat or not?: It doesn't get more HU-at than this!

While Cheryl's husband Roy Fong channelled oriental chic in a tang suit in mandarin orange hue, Cheryl opted for a delicate lace number that offers a modern spin on the traditional cheongsam.

Huat or not?: Huat ah!

Was Amanda attending a comic convention that we’re unaware of? Cos we’re getting major Chun-Li from her outfit.

Huat or not?: Not, but at least she managed to make the purple and neon green pairing look cool.

New Year, new clothes right? That includes PJs. Yasminne ushered in the new year in pineapple print jammies from local brand Selenightco.

Huat or not?: Definitely huat!

With all the busy floral prints going on on You Yi’s modern cheongsam by The Missing Piece, we’re glad that she kept the rest of her look clean and minimal.

Huat or not?: Huat.

Although Peifen's son Luke joked that she looks like a carrot, we think the YES 933 DJ looks fab in her striking orange getup. Her plush tiger crossbody is the icing on the cake.

Huat or not?: Huat without going too OTT.

Kimberly, who hosted the Lunar New Year countdown show, looked resplendent in this bold orange one-shoulder frock that features a trail of pretty floral embellishments.

Huat or not?: Huat. Bonus points for the creative CNY look.

Anything with a lucky charm and dollar sign is always a good look for CNY. Just wish she’d put on some pants.

Huat or not?: Huat!

We can already hear the old folks tsk tsk-ing about Calvert's dark, moody look. Also, the varying grey tones on his shirt kinda reminds us of our kitchen marble top.

Huat of not?: Not.

Denise brought sexy back with her scarlet lace halter mini and cute mahjong tassel earrings.

Huat or not?: Huat ah!

Huat or not?: Huat.

Edwin kept his look simple yet stylish in a short sleeve tang shirt and jeans when he went visiting on the second day of CNY.

Huat or not?: Huat. This traditional-meets-modern combo is easy to nail.

From her OOTD, we’re guessing Kelly’s lucky colour is green. While we love her stylish outfit, we wish she’d picked a bolder red lippy to imbue a sense of festivity to her look.

Huat or not?: Not.
