While Chantalle Ng has long been known as the daughter of veteran actress Lin Meijiao, she is slowly but surely making a mark on her own both in the entertainment industry and the fashion world.

The 26-year-old recently earned raved reviews internationally for her portrayal of a Vietnamese “bride” in Mediacorp’s My Star Bride (the series started trending in China a few months after its last episode aired), and the starlet hasn’t been shy to show off her style on social media too.

We’re into the fact that she’s seen with trendy yet functional arm candies like the miniature Flamenco Clutch by Loewe (also available in four other sizes) which fashionistas all around the world are obsessed, thanks to its drawstring-and-knot design and the multitude of colourways ranging from basic neutrals to vibrant neons that it comes in.

The salmon pink-hued version seen here – aptly named Blossom, by the way – adds an extra dose of saccharine sweetness to Chantalle’s casual off-duty look.
