Fan's two other gowns, an Elie Saab peachy gown for the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party and an Oscar de la Renta stripes for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, did not win much applause either.
The three dresses, especially the two strapless ones, have been widely criticized for making her look too bulky. Sina Weibo's most popular fashion critic Gogoboi described her as "like a magnificent mountain moving on the red carpet".
But in defense, Chris Bu Kewen, the stylist who has been dressing Fan Bingbing since the Cannes thunder-stealing moment, has his own comments.
He says in an exclusive interview with NetEase News, a popular Web portal in China, that "being slender is not the only criteria for Fan's look".
Fan's team had only 10 minutes or so to change between each look, which means they did not have much time to redo the makeup or hairstyle to suit the different dresses.
The other Chinese actress who graced the ceremony is Li Bingbing, who dressed in a lake blue Gucci dress with large frills. But aside from having a photograph taken with Fan Bingbing that was later posted on Fan's weibo, the actress received little publicity.
Among the foreign celebrities, Jennifer Lawrence - the latest Oscar best actress winner - attracted eyeballs, thanks not only to her elegant looks but her fall as she walked on stage to receive her award.
