Chapter 303 She Has Her Own Radiance
Early the next morning.
The Parisian sunshine was wonderful, streaming in through the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows and illuminating the entire room.
Li Mengli got up very early.
After she finished washing up, she sat on the sofa, still feeling a little nervous.
After all, she's going to be on stage at that international fashion show tonight.
Although Lu Wenzhou said many comforting words to her last night.
However, this kind of thing is a huge challenge for her, a female college student who has just turned eighteen.
Just as she was lost in thought.
The doorbell rang.
Li Mengli walked over and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Lu Wenzhou.
Lu Wenzhou was dressed in very casual clothes today, and he looked very energetic.
He looked at Li Mengli and said with a smile:
"Let's go, Mengli. The stylist is already waiting for us in the studio."
Li Mengli nodded, picked up her bag, and followed Lu Wenzhou out of the hotel.
The car drove for about twenty minutes through the streets of Paris.
Finally, we stopped in front of a building that looked very artistic.
Lu Wenzhou led Li Mengli inside.
The studio is very spacious, with all kinds of clothes hanging everywhere, as well as many makeup tools.
A foreign man with a large beard was standing there, directing his men to prepare things.
Li Mengli recognized the person at a glance.
Isn't this Louis, the chief designer she chatted with so enthusiastically backstage at the opening show last night?
She looked at Lu Wenzhou in surprise and asked in a low voice:
"Lu Wenzhou, is that very famous stylist you mentioned Mr. Louis?"
Lu Wenzhou smiled and nodded:
"Yes. You had such a pleasant chat with him backstage yesterday, he was very impressed with you."
"I called him last night and told him my thoughts."
"When he heard that he was going to design a hairstyle for you, he agreed without hesitation. He even canceled several important meetings this morning just to wait for you here."
Hearing these words, Li Mengli was deeply moved.
She certainly knew how high Mr. Louis's status was in the international fashion world.
Getting him to personally style your hair is definitely not something money can buy.
This must be because Lu Wenzhou put in a lot of effort behind the scenes, plus Mr. Louis does have some appreciation for her.
When Louis saw them come in, he immediately greeted them very warmly.
He opened his arms and gave Li Mengli a big hug:
"My dear Miss Li, we meet again!"
"I was really happy when Lu called me last night."
"You possess a very unique Eastern beauty. I guarantee you'll be the brightest star at the entire exhibition tonight!"
Li Mengli smiled somewhat shyly:
"Thank you, Mr. Louis. Let's begin."
The next few hours.
Li Mengli was completely handed over to Louis and his team.
They first gave her a very meticulous skin care treatment, and then began to apply makeup.
Louis personally took a makeup brush and meticulously applied makeup to Li Mengli's face.
He didn't give her the heavy Western-style makeup.
Instead, based on her already delicate features, she was given a very clear and natural nude makeup look.
However, on top of this natural makeup look, some very bright colors were added to the corners of the eyes and lips.
In this way, Li Mengli's clean and innocent student temperament is preserved.
It adds a very sophisticated sense of style.
After finishing his makeup, Louis took a piece of clothing from a very large clothes rack next to him.
It was a pure white long dress.
This dress has a very unique design.
The upper body was very form-fitting, perfectly outlining Li Mengli's figure.
The skirt is made of a very flowy tulle material, layered on top of each other.
It is also adorned with many tiny pearls and rhinestones sewn on by hand.
As long as a little bit of light shines on it, the whole dress will sparkle.
Moreover, the neckline design of this dress is very interesting.
It's not the kind of very conservative high neck, nor is it the kind of low-cut V-neck that makes people feel uncomfortable.
Instead, it features a very unique, irregular neckline.
It perfectly showcases Li Mengli's beautiful collarbone, but without any risk of wardrobe malfunction.
Both elegant and sophisticated.
Louis looked at the dress and said with great pride:
"Miss Li, please give it a try. I revised it overnight last night. It's absolutely perfect for you."
Li Mengli took the dress and walked into the dressing room.
After changing clothes.
The moment she walked out of the locker room.
Everyone in the studio fell silent.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Li Mengli standing there.
Even Lu Wenzhou's eyes lit up, and he didn't look away for a long time.
So beautiful.
It's absolutely gorgeous.
The white dress looked like it was tailor-made for Li Mengli.
She already looked very much like Zhang Ruoran when she was young, with delicate features and a pure temperament.
Now, with this dress and that exquisite makeup, it's all set in.
She looked like a princess who had stepped out of a fairy tale.
That blend of the gentle grace of an Eastern girl and the modern sophistication of Western fashion is perfectly embodied in her.
Louis stood there, looking at Li Mengli.
He couldn't help but clasp his hands together in front of his chest.
He exclaimed loudly in French with great excitement:
"My God! It's a masterpiece!"
"In all my years in this line of work, I've never seen such a beautiful Asian girl!"
"Miss Li, you are simply my muse!"
Li Mengli blushed from his praise.
She looked at herself in the mirror and felt somewhat incredulous.
Is this really her?
Li Mengli, who usually wears old clothes at school and only knows how to bury herself in her studies?
She turned her head, looked at Lu Wenzhou, and asked somewhat uncertainly:
"Is it really...good-looking?"
Lu Wenzhou looked at her and nodded very seriously:
"You look absolutely stunning. Mengli, you'll definitely dazzle everyone tonight."
Time flies.
Before we knew it, it was eight o'clock in the evening.
On the square outside the Louvre Museum in Paris.
It was already packed with people.
Tonight's fashion show is of a very high standard.
All invited guests are required to present an invitation to enter.
Li Mengli sat in Lu Wenzhou's car.
The car was parked at the entrance to the red carpet.
Li Mengli took a deep breath; her palms were sweaty.
Seeing her nervous expression, Lu Wenzhou reached out and gently patted the back of her hand.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"All you need to do is stand tall and walk in confidently."
Looking into Lu Wenzhou's reassuring eyes, Li Mengli nodded vigorously.
"good!"
The car door was opened by a service staff member.
Lu Wenzhou got out of the car first.
Then he turned around, reached out, and helped Li Mengli down.
The moment Li Mengli appeared on the red carpet wearing that white dress.
The flashlights across the entire square instantly started flashing like a torrential downpour.
"Snap! Snap!"
Countless reporters and photographers pointed their lenses at her.
Everyone was asking each other.
"Who is this Asian girl?"
"Who designed that dress she's wearing? It's so beautiful!"
"Her aura is absolutely stunning!"
Li Mengli linked arms with Lu Wenzhou as they walked down the red carpet.
She listened to the foreign languages she couldn't understand around her and watched the flashing lights.
She felt a sense of unreality.
This feels like a dream.
She had never experienced anything so dreamlike in her entire life.
After walking the red carpet, we entered the exhibition hall.
The situation inside was even more shocking.
The entire hall was decorated like a dreamlike stage.
Flowers and lights were everywhere.
Those sitting in the audience were all fashion industry bigwigs whom you could only see on TV normally.
Li Mengli was making final preparations backstage.
Not long after, it was her turn to go on stage.
She took a deep breath and walked confidently onto the catwalk.
The moment she walked to the very center of the stage.
All the lights shone on her.
The audience fell silent for a second.
Immediately afterwards, a very enthusiastic round of applause erupted.
Those fashion magazine editors and buyers with very discerning tastes.
They all put down their wine glasses and stared intently at Li Mengli on the stage.
They saw the uniquely designed dress and also noticed Li Mengli's clean and confident demeanor.
This is a kind of beauty that is completely natural and unadorned.
In a fashion world filled with all sorts of exaggerated styles, he's a breath of fresh air.
Li Mengli stood on the stage.
She saw Lu Wenzhou's encouraging gaze from below the stage, and she also saw Mr. Louis's very excited expression.
A surge of immense confidence suddenly welled up within her.
She was no longer nervous.
She smiled and twirled around on the stage.
Then, she walked off the stage with very light steps.
At that moment, she felt that she had truly grown up.
She is no longer the little girl who only knew how to hide under her parents' wings.
She has found her own light.
