Eliza Sam Rise to Fame, Marriage and Motherhood


 

Eliza Sam (岑麗香) is Canadian-born Hong Kong actress and public figure and beauty queen - yep, she was a pageant winner known for her endless charm and toothy grin. Raised in Vancouver, her journey into the spotlight began when she won the Miss Chinese Vancouver pageant in 2009, followed by capturing the international crown at the Miss Chinese International Pageant in 2010.

Her transition into mainstream fame first ignited when she relocated to Hong Kong and signed with TVB. She was shot further into public recognition through standout television roles in hit dramas like Ghetto Justice II and Divas in Distress. Her charismatic performance in the latter earned her the affectionate and enduring moniker "Princess Heung Heung" from viewers, alongside major accolades including the TVB Anniversary Award for Most Improved Female Artist.

On social media, she commands a robust digital footprint with over 1.1 million followers on Instagram. To put that massive following into perspective against Hong Kong’s population of roughly 7.5 million people, it means that a substantial fraction - nearly 15 percent - of the entire city's populace follows her online updates. Her feed bridges her daily life as a mother with high-profile lifestyle, beauty, and fashion content.

Beyond television and social media, Sam is a fixture in luxury publishing and high-fashion circles. Among her notable editorial work is a prominent feature and cover-style layout for Prestige Hong Kong, photographed by Ruby Law with art direction and styling by Tasha Ling at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental. In these high-end spreads, she has modeled major luxury houses like Bally, Nanushka, Ports 1961, and Dolce & Gabbana. Complementing her work with publications like Prestige, she frequently collaborates with top-tier beauty and lifestyle brands, seamlessly balancing her early roots in pageantry with a lasting presence as a modern style icon.

Having spent the day with her and her team, the professionalism is beyond compare - and she's a joy to work with. There are other stars we've had to work with that have been... hmm what can I say that the NDA will let me... not as easy as they pretend to be when the camera is on... Eliza's just fun and professional - works with the photographer understanding every great shot is a team effort, not a solo sport. 

Can't wait to work with her again! 

以下是為香港讀者量身打造的繁體中文翻譯,採用地道的港式中文語氣與編輯風格:

岑麗香(Eliza)是加拿大華裔的香港女演員、公眾人物兼選美冠軍——沒錯,她當年憑著招牌式的燦爛笑容與無窮魅力勇奪桂冠。她在溫哥華長大,演藝之路始於2009年摘下溫哥華華裔小姐冠軍,隨後更於2010年榮獲國際中華小姐總冠軍,正式走入大眾視野。

她回港發展並簽約TVB後,人氣迅速飆升。憑著熱播劇集《怒火街頭2》及《巴不得媽媽...》中的出色表現,她成功打響知名度;當中在《巴不得媽媽...》的討好演出,更讓她贏得觀眾親切稱呼為「香香公主」,並斬獲萬千星輝頒獎典禮「飛躍進步女藝員」等重磅獎項。

在社交媒體上,她的影響力同樣舉足輕重,Instagram 擁有超過 110 萬粉絲。以香港約 750 萬人口計算,這意味著相當於全港近 15% 的人口都在追蹤她的最新動態。她的個人專頁完美融合了雙寶媽媽的日常,以及高端時尚、美容與生活品味的精緻內容。

除了電視與社交平台,香香亦是時尚圈與奢華雜誌的常客。當中令人印象深刻的,莫過於她為《Prestige Hong Kong》拍攝的封面級時尚大片。該次拍攝於置地文華東方酒店進行,由攝影師 Ruby Law 掌鏡、Tasha Ling 負責美術指導與造型,香香穿上 Bally、Nanushka、Ports 1961 及 Dolce & Gabbana 等頂級大牌演繹奢華時尚。除了雜誌大片,她亦頻頻與各大一線美容及生活品牌合作,完美將選美冠軍的底蘊轉化為當代時尚 Icon 的持久魅力。

跟她和她的團隊共事了一整天,那份專業態度真的無可比擬,而且過程超級愉快!說實話,我們以前合作過的其他某些明星……嗯,在受保密協議(NDA)限制下,我只能說……他們私底下的配合度,可遠沒有鏡頭前表現得那麼輕鬆甜美。但 Eliza 既好玩又專業,她非常明白每一張絕美大片都是團隊合作的成果,而不是個人獨秀,跟攝影師的配合簡直默契十足。

真的迫不及待想跟她再次合作了!

Mazu Resortwear: Hong Kong menswear brand

Mazu Resortwear 

Let’s hear it for a home-grown menswear brand. Eurasian designer Adam Raby’s Mazu is a local favourite, incorporating Hong Kong iconography, prints, and city- and sea-inspired features from our humble shores. The Lei Yue Mun at Sunset swim shorts are great for a dip, but to strut around with a glass of Dom Pérignon, the Hapa Shorts in midnight navy with red piping can transport you from the seas to the city with equal ease. The little Hong Kong junk logo on the button is a cute signature touch.

Mama Mia! My feature (and shoot!) is up at The New Moon


Felt back in form working on this shoot and feature - out now in its entirety at The New Moon - read up here.

I wanna give a shout out to Kaye Dong for creating The New Moon; which has been embraced by so many. When I started the pitch to these ladies, I sent them a link to the page and everyone said yes immediately after seeing it. Most people are suspicious of yet another online magazine but there definitely is an aura and... vibe and flavour to this enterprise that is so vastly appealing. 
 

Planned and plotted with my most frequent collaborator this year - photographer Ruby Law - as my previous editor Christina Ko  (an eternal fav - no one tell her) commissioned me (yay) to write this feature and pull together this shoot. 

Originally we were going to shoot near Blend & Grind in Wan Chai but of course HK weather being what it is, it poured. 

The fine folks at The Upper House provided gorgeous venue and it was smooth sailin' then on. 

It was great to see some familiar faces and meet new ones. Check out the feature at The New Moon - subscribe. Tots worth it.

Sets Appeal: Behind the scenes of a feature shoot: Diamonds, gowns and a pool

Making a splash for a feature shoot! With my favs photographer Ruby Law, Hong Kong KOL and personal trainer Utah Lee and this amazing crew.

On a very cold day in the middle of winter, we made Utah jump into a pool with a gown on and dripping with diamonds. Literally dripping. 

Good times. 

Behind the scenes of a feature shoot for my monthly column First Person.

Happy Birthday Varun Dhawan




TBT: A Fun chat with Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan when he was here in Hong Kong to unveil his own wax-figurine at Madame Tussauds at The Peak. As the youngest Bollywood superstar to have his likeness in the iconic venue, the 4th Indian figure to join the star lineup, he was in joyful spirits as he had just won his first Best Actor Award at Zee awards.

We spoke at length - you can see bits from our interview in South China Morning Post today - and somewhere along the way, but of course, I asked him about Sridevi.

He was the youngest actor to win the award as a leading man, Sridevi was the oldest Best Actress winner that same year. "I was honoured to win the award along with Sriji, but we are not in the same league as her. She's someone I've looked up to and I'm so looking forward to working together with her in an upcoming film. We can learn so much from watching legends."

Happy Birthday Varun Dhawan. All of.. 32!

First Person: My Column in Prestige Hong Kong:


My favourite column to write and shoot. Discovered new talent, gorgeous photographer Ruby Law who did the portraits of Jacqueline Au and Utah Lee (below!). 

This was a great way to get new faces and talent into the magazine, be it in front or behind the scenes.
