Tran Do Linh, a prominent Chinese period drama actress, graced the 8 cover of Cosmopolitan China. For the photoshoot, she wore a sheer nude organza dress adorned with 3D silk tiger lily petals. This design is part of Phan Huy's "Canh Vang La Ngoc" Spring-Summer 2026 collection, which draws inspiration from Nguyen dynasty architecture and previously debuted at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.

The dress required meticulous handcrafting through many stages. Its bodice features an invisible beige corset. The ensemble is completed with a tulle veil that transitions in an ombre effect from light purple to cream. Phan Huy explained that this technique creates the illusion of petals suspended in air, moving gracefully with the wind and the wearer's steps.

At 33, Tran Do Linh is a well-known figure in Chinese entertainment, earning the moniker "period drama beauty." She has starred in many popular series, including: "Quy Nu" (also known as "Khi Chim Nhan Tro Ve"), "Vinh Da Tinh Ha", "Dai Mong Quy Ly", "Anh Hung Xa Dieu 2024" (where she played Hoang Duoc Su's wife), "Nhat Niem Quan Son", "Ngoc Lau Xuan", and "Van Chi Vu".

Phan Huy, 27, hails from Quang Tri. He is a guest member of the Federation de la Haute Couture et de la Mode. Phan Huy regularly showcases his work at Paris Fashion Week, gaining recognition for collections such as "Afterglow at Tam Giang Lagoon" and "Lost in the Cavern".
