In September 2025, no one in the entertainment industry can ignore the presence of Ju Jingyi. Just as she dominated the trending topics with two stunning looks—“black leather jacket + pink dress” at Milan Fashion Week—she then swept social platforms with a traditional Chinese stage performance of “Jinli Copy,” further fueled by the buzz from the announcement of two major new dramas. The hashtag #Ju Jingyi’s beauty and talent coexist# has amassed over 300 million views. This girl once labeled as a “4000-year-old beauty” has now completely rewritten public perception with her triple success in fashion, stage, and film.

Live photos withstand the test, Milan debut a masterpiece
As the first Chinese artist to debut at Milan Fashion Week, Ju Jingyi’s performance was堪称 “textbook-level breakthrough.” Under G Society’s unretouched camera, her natural skin glowed with radiance, her small face framed by thick hair, wearing a black tailored suit paired with chunky white sneakers that perfectly matched Milan’s European architecture. The other look, a pink spaghetti strap dress adorned with pearls, instantly shifted her style, exuding an air of aristocratic elegance, earning netizens’ praise as “a beauty who stepped out of a vintage poster.”

This fashion week journey once again earned recognition for her fashion sense. You have to know that her everyday outfits were already the “teenage template” — the red floral crop top paired with cargo pants during her trip to Thailand perfectly captured the sweet and cool vibe; the oversized hoodie with a pleated skirt in early autumn gave off a carefree, academic feel. From street style to international runways, Ju Jingyi proved with details that beauty is just the backdrop, while taste is her fashion passport.

If fashion week is a beauty showcase, then the super summer evening at the end of August is Juyinyi’s declaration of strength. Six years later, she once again fully performed “Brocade Carp Copy,” drawing the audience into an Eastern fantasy the moment she opened her mouth. The black chiffon gown with golden patterns swayed with her dance movements, the gradient skirt mimicking the swimming posture of a koi carp, the 3D fish fin accessory at her waist complementing the holographic fish tail projection, and even her sleeve-flipping movements could “startle virtual fireflies.”

What’s even more stunning is her vocal tone — ethereal yet theatrical, with a graceful twist. The phrase ” cicadas accompany the wandering clouds” features such delicate turns that sound like silk embroidery, earning praise from music critics as “only something you’d get after eating a CD for stability.” Some netizens dug up a 2019 clip from her a cappella performance in “Beauty of Ancient China” for comparison, discovering that she not only has more stable breath control now but also adds a layer of storytelling to her emotional expression. This performance propelled #Juyongyi’s Theatrical Voice# to the top of the trending topics, with comment sections filled with acknowledgments like “beauty is the ticket in, but real talent is the hard truth,” completely shattering the stereotype of “making a living off looks.”

《A World of Flowers》
Her career push isn’t limited to fashion and the stage; Juyanjie also holds a trump card in the film and television industry. In April 2025, she announced two new dramas produced by Stellar Gravity at once, with themes and characters that contrast greatly, showcasing her incredible versatility. In “Come to War,” she plays Aide, a homeless orphan who rises to become the top figure in a cultivation sect, captioned with “The path of cultivation is long, and I am like a fierce grass in the wilderness,” which is already full of tension just from the character description; while in “A World of Flowers,” she transforms into Su Lüxia, who dares to rewrite her destiny, with the line “I have never been a supporting character at the mercy of others,” perfectly striking the hearts of the original work fans.

《A Love So Beautiful》
This is no longer the first time she has broken through herself. From the clever and playful Han Yunxi in 《The Legend of Yanxi》, to the composed and wise Fu Rong in 《A Love So Beautiful》, to now challenging the themes of immortal sects’ comeback and time travel, Ju Jingyi has been constantly shedding the fixed label of “ancient costume sweet girl.” Staff from the production team revealed that she specifically learned horseback riding and swordsmanship to fit the “wilderness” feel of Aide, her script was filled with psychological annotations for the character, and this dedication is no different from her attitude in refining stage details.
The transformation from a girl group top star to a versatile artist

Few people remember that the current all-around artist Juyongyi started on the stage of SNH48. In 2013, she debuted with the group’s public performance, and in 2017, she became the first consecutive winner of the general election, officially going solo after being promoted to the star hall. When she just transitioned to acting, she faced controversy over “semi-permanent makeup” and “stiff acting.” But she never stopped growing —— if her lines weren’t good, she practiced them privately until her voice was hoarse; if her ancient costume posture wasn’t good, she asked a teacher to focus on her physical training. Finally, she solidified her footing in one work after another.
This resilience also extends to her life. In an interview, she said, “Labels are given by others, but the path is walked by oneself.” Thus, we see her breaking the “flower vase”质疑 at fashion week with her talent, responding to expectations on stage with six years of accumulation, and proving her ambitions in film and television sets with roles. Fans say she “turned every controversy into motivation for progress,” and her transformation is the best example of an industry “beauty type” overcoming to become a “talent type.”
From a girl group idol to a fashion favorite, from a stage singer to a film and television actress, Juyongyi has spent nearly a decade completing the leap from “being defined” to “defining herself.” Today, she can gain attention on the streets of Milan with her style, captivate audiences with her singing on stage, and move people’s hearts with her roles in front of the camera. As she wrote in the promotional text for her new drama, “Watch me rise,” this girl who is always breaking through clearly has more surprises in store for the future.
