The actress, who turns 39 today (Jan 24), always keeps us guessing and captivated by her inimitable style. Here are some of the most memorable looks.
Though Fiona Xie's look has pretty much remained the same since her debut in 2001 (we mean that literally. What elixir of youth has she been taking?), the actress, who turns 39 today (Jan 24), always keeps us guessing and captivated by her inimitable style. Keep reading to see how Fiona’s onscreen and offscreen fashion has changed over the years.
Star Awards? More like Getai Challenge.
Do our eyes deceive us, or is this a way cuter version of what Jayley Woo wore to 2016 Star Awards?
We can’t tell you how many times we singed ourselves with a pair of hot tongs back in the day while trying to achieve Fiona’s hairstyle. And remember when tube tops were a thing? At least Fiona had the good sense to not wear hers with transparent bra straps showing.
Fiona’s fame shot into the stratosphere when she raced down Orchard Road in this titillating getup.
The bikini design might look a little cheap — like something you would buy on sale in a heartland mall — but this iconic photo ain’t going out of style anytime soon.
Fiona’s signature plunging neckline set her apart from the rest at the Star Awards 2004 Top 20 press conference.

Like Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, if the tomb had been located inside Jumanji. (Also, nice footwear.)
This is the first of many pink outfits to come.
Because magic tricks seem like a far less dorky hobby when you do them in this kind of outfit.
This criss-crossed dress is practically a feat of engineering (if not a testament to the power of double-sided tape).
Not only did Fiona succumb to the trucker hat trend, she took it a step further by getting one with her name on it.
This dress was obviously a (vintage) bedsheet in its past life.
This strappy bandeau-halter thing is still pretty cute, especially considering that Fiona wore it in 2005, aka within the depths of fashion’s dark ages.
10 signs your scrapbooking addiction has gone too far: One, you own this skirt.
This was one of the rare times that Fiona donned sportswear-inspired fashion.
An uncharacteristically frumpy look for the buxom star, with jewellery that was probably assembled by a child.
Because nothing makes lace sexy like a bit of leather.
Wilma Flintstone called, she wants her necklace back.
This look hasn’t aged as badly as some of the others. In fact, we would still rock that white mini today.
This is probably the most covered up we’ve ever seen Fiona.
This ruffled bustier dress is giving us prom flashbacks, and not in a good way.
Ah, 2007, a short, but glorious window of time before scarves and vests were reclaimed by hipsters.
If it weren’t for that Fendi belt, we would have thought that dress came from Far East Plaza.
The artiste might have aged well, but this outfit did not.
Not sure if fashion-forward…or extremely afraid of the sun.

Fiona and Arissa Cheo could be sisters.

Fiona is va va voom in that sexy bronze mini but we’re too distracted by that fascinator, which looks like a giant spider resting on her head.
Looks like Fiona’s favourite colour combination changed from pink and bling to black and white in the latter 2000s.

Fiona might be covering up more nowadays, but her skin-baring days aren’t completely behind her, as shown by her white crop top.
It’s good to know that stars are just like us — they recycle outfits from way back.
With Fiona’s return to the small screen comes the return of her signature colour: pale pink.
Fiona made a fashion statement when she turned up at the Left Behind press conference looking like Snorlax (her words, not ours). We, on the other hand, think the outfit makes her look like Vegas Showgirl Cabbage Patch Kid doll.
Fiona turned heads in this Miu Miu denim shirt dress that she wore off shoulder at the styleXstyle 4th anniversary party.
We are so glad that Fiona finally got a hair makeover that we are willing to overlook the hem finish. Love the avant garde jumpsuit though!

Anybody else in this silver sequinned jumpsuit would look like a disco ball. Fiona, however, looks like a million bucks.

Among Fiona's recent hair transformations, the pink is our favourite. It's dramatic, it's fun, and it's totally her.
Fiona flew the Singapore flag high on the jade carpet in a gorgeous black organza gown by homegrown designer JessicaCindy and over half a million dollars worth of bling.

Although we do kinda think that Fiona looks like she’s got Chewbecca’s arms stuck onto her, the wonderfully OTT quirkiness of this blazer stole the red carpet at the CRA premiere.
Clad only from the waist down, Fiona sure turned up the heat in her smoking hot denims. Beat that, Kitty Pong!
Fiona’s red-hot outfit proves that sometimes, more can actually be more. The combination of that sparkly red minidress with that firecracker furry coat and handbag is OTT, but in a good way.

The SAG Awards was filled with countless celebrities but our eyes were fixed on our Singapore representatives. Fiona did us proud with this dreamy haute couture dress by Schiaparelli which sported floral embellishments as a nod to our national orchid, Vanda Miss Joaquim.

With a dramatic long train, feather finishes and back-bearing details, it’s hard to miss Fiona at the amfAR Gala in Hong Kong.
If we were to pick a song to match Fiona’s OOTD here, it would definitely be 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun' by Cyndi Lauper. Love how vibrant and playful she looks in the colourblock dress and satin Mary Jane shoes.
For Halloween, Fiona channelled Maleficent, recreating the Disney villain’s vampy makeup, gothic gown, and signature horns… but ended up looking more sexy than evil. Well, we wouldn’t expect any less from Fiona.
No pants, no problem! We think Fiona looked just as sizzling, if not more so, in just the shimmering blazer and plunging neckline.
We can't take our eyes off Fiona in this dramatic Nicole + Felicia frock that's fun and romantic at the same time.
We can imagine Fiona going from boudoir to bar in this loungewear set.
Only Fiona Xie can make wearing flowers look hot.
