Chinese New Year outfit ideas, as seen on celebrity moms
Kryz Uy-Young
Kryz, married to Slater Young, is a proud mom to three boys: Scott Knoa, Sevi, and Saxon Kent. She has mastered juggling motherhood and style, proving that moms can still be fashionable without compromising comfort. She often shares advice on creating a capsule wardrobe, investing in versatile pieces, and making time for self-care through fashion.
In this image above, which she posted last year on her Instagram, Kryz showcases modern Chinese-inspired fashion with a contemporary twist. She is wearing a classic qipao-inspired (cheongsam) dress featuring a high mandarin collar and cap sleeves, signature elements of traditional Chinese attire. The dress has a modern geometric pattern in green and white, giving it a fresh, youthful vibe while still honoring the style's heritage.
The form-fitting silhouette of the dress accentuates her figure, while the side slit adds an elegant touch of femininity and movement. She pairs the dress with nude pointed-toe heels, elongating her legs and keeping the look sophisticated and balanced. Her hair is styled in a neat updo, emphasizing the chic and polished aesthetic of the ensemble.
