The Beauty Evolution Of Actress Angelababy
Witness how this beauty has evolved from being a model to one of China's most sought after actresses
The 33-year-old has been in the industry for almost half her age, beginning her career as a model and later on taking on several films that marked her as one of the fresh faces to watch out for. It’s only a matter of time before she made her break in Hollywood, snagging roles in films “Hitman: Agent 47” and “Independence Day: Resurgence” in 2015 and 2016, respectively.

She became the brand ambassador for Dior and is a constant presence in many different high-profile fashion shows.
