On the red carpet: Gigi Leung (梁詠琪)

Hong Kong actress and singer Gigi Leung (梁詠琪) played double duty at the 7th annual Asian Film Awards. Before she took the stage, though, she walked the red carpet in a black and red Lanvin number before signing her name with a silver pen on the red carpet backdrop.

Leung changed into a second Lanvin gown for the actual ceremony. She and Taiwanese actor Tony Yang You-ning presented the Best Cinematographer award to “Rhino Season,” an Iranian film directed by Bahman Ghobadi.
