The Early Spring star Sun Qian goes viral in Paris as fans spot striking connection to her popular character

Sun Qian has arrived in Paris for Fashion Week, and the actress is already drawing plenty of attention. The Early Spring star made her appearance in the French capital on October 2 as a Celine brand ambassador.

Her latest appearance quickly became a talking point online, with fans closely watching her style and drawing their own comparisons to one of her most recognisable roles.

Sun Qian stepped out in an oversized asymmetrical shirt featuring a diagonal hem, which she paired with tailored trousers. Several buttons were left undone, revealing a black bra underneath and adding a bold edge to the otherwise polished outfit.

The black-and-white combination, paired with her classic brown hair, gave the actress a sharp yet sophisticated appearance. Her fashion choices quickly caught the attention of Chinese social media users, with the topic "Sun Qian wears a shirt with the collar unbuttoned" entering Weibo's hot search.

The discussion generated more than 12 million views and interactions as fans dissected her latest appearance in Paris.

The reaction soon moved beyond the outfit itself, as fans began drawing comparisons between Sun Qian's Paris appearance and the style associated with her character Flora in The Early Spring.

Some users joked that the actress had "brought Shang Zhi Tao's signature style all the way to Paris," linking her latest fashion moment to the image she has built through the drama.

The comparisons added another layer to the viral discussion, with fans revisiting Sun Qian’s on-screen style while following her Fashion Week appearance.

For those who do not know, Sun Qian was born in 1997 in Harbin and graduated from the Central Academy of Drama before beginning her career across television and film.

She has appeared in productions including Meteor Garden, Remembrance of Things Past, Wild Bloom, Islands and All These Years. Her performances have been praised for their natural acting style and youthful energy.

More recently, Sun Qian played Shang Zhi Tao in The Early Spring alongside Jing Boran. The role has brought renewed attention to the actress, while her latest appearance in Paris has further put her in the spotlight beyond her work on screen.
