Whether it’s celebrating husband Tony Leung’s lifetime achievement award or attending a Cartier gala, the ‘Warriors of Future’ actress knows how to make a fashion statement

Award-winning actress Carina Lau is known for bringing her signature style of glamour to red carpets, movie premieres, film festivals and social occasions. In 2023 too, she did not disappoint, serving up memorable looks on almost every public appearance.

This year, some of her most cherished looks are from the Venice Film Festival in September—where she accompanied her husband and Hong Kong actor Tony Leung as he received the Golden Lion Lifetime Achievement Award. Not only that, she also nailed the fashion game every time she attended major brand events, be it at Tiffany and Co or Cartier. To celebrate her birthday on December 8, we revisit five of her best ensembles this year.
