Chinese dress
Thirteen courtesans wearing Chinese cheongsams walking in a line in Zhang Yimou's The Flowers of War formed a beautiful sight of Eastern beauty. Actress Maggie Cheung's 23 cheongsams in director Wong Kar-wai's In the mood for love sometimes drew viewers' attention from her acting to her wardrobe. Kirsten Dunst put on a red cheongsam as she attended a party in Spiderman 2. Kidman's Chinese dresses in Australia were also a major selling point that drew audiences to the theaters.
