See Every Deeply Personal Detail From Christine Chiu's Custom Gold Gala Gown

For most celebrities, donning a gown for a red carpet event is like putting on a uniform: instead of clocking in at an office, they’re stepping onto a red carpet to be photographed and scrutinized from every angle. For many of Hollywood’s A-list, stylists work behind the scenes to secure looks from the latest trending runway collections. While some are content selecting a gown from a pre-approved line sheet, others see red carpet dressing as a far more personal—and artistic—endeavor.

For plastic surgeon, philanthropist, and Bling Empire star Christine Chiu, fashion is a form of storytelling—an expression that weaves together the most important elements of her life. So it’s no surprise that for the 2025 Gold Gala, Chiu collaborated with designer Ou Ma on a custom gown inspired by a Qing Dynasty painting of deep personal significance.
