Tú Quyên, the lead actress in VTV's popular series 'Beyond the City', has made waves not only for her compelling performance but also for her striking transformation in personal style. While she portrays the serious character Tuyết Lan, a student with a complex emotional background, in real life, she embraces a feminine, elegant, and dynamic fashion sense.
The series 'Beyond the City' is currently reaching its climax, with Tuyết Lan being a pivotal character in the intricate relationships among her peers, leading to significant psychological developments. Tú Quyên, born in 2006, is a second-year acting student at the Hanoi Academy of Theater and Cinema. This role marks her first major television project, which has garnered her considerable attention from viewers.
Before venturing into acting, Tú Quyên had a successful modeling career, participating in events such as the Bangkok Kids International Fashion Show and Vietnam International Fashion Week. She has also won several accolades, including the 2018 Champion of the Vietnam High Fashion Model and Miss Korea - Vietnam 2018.
In a recent photoshoot, Tú Quyên showcased three distinct styles, ranging from feminine and elegant to modern and edgy. Her first outfit, a striking red dress, presented a mature and alluring image that stands in stark contrast to her student persona on screen. She expressed that this dress is a favorite for events, balancing allure with youthful vibrancy.
Many fans have noted her youthful and sweet appearance, but Tú Quyên emphasizes that looks are just the initial impression. "I see it as an advantage, but I hope the audience can see many different facets of me through each role. I want to grow with every character I portray," she shared.
In a beige dress, Tú Quyên exudes a gentle and sophisticated vibe, which she identifies as closest to her true self. "I prefer elegance and comfort in my clothing. An outfit doesn’t need to be extravagant; what matters is feeling confident and comfortable," she noted.
She also highlighted her preference for practical outfits that suit everyday life rather than overly flashy designs. "Depending on the occasion, mood, or context, I choose an appropriate image. I love versatility as it keeps me inspired," she explained.
In her final look, featuring a loose black jacket, Tú Quyên presented a more youthful and trendy image, which is less common in public appearances. She enjoys simplicity in her daily life and believes in not confining herself to a single image. "Everyone has many different aspects. Sometimes I feel feminine, sometimes strong, and at other times, I want to try something completely new. I don’t want to limit myself because change helps me grow," she said.
Outside of her career, Tú Quyên prioritizes balance in her life. Instead of strict diets, she opts for a healthy lifestyle to maintain her appearance. "The most important thing for beauty is a positive mindset. When you are happy, love yourself, and have good energy, it shows on the outside. I try to eat well, rest adequately, and stay active," she shared.
Among her must-have items when going out are sunscreen, lipstick, and perfume. Currently, Tú Quyên dedicates most of her time to her studies at the Hanoi Academy of Theater and Cinema, stating that she is in a phase of learning while gaining practical experience through artistic projects. "I am still at the beginning of my career, so there is much to learn. I hope the audience remembers me as someone who always strives, takes the profession seriously, and is ready to step out of my comfort zone to deliver better performances," she concluded.
