There was once a time when Jaden Zhang was cruelly dubbed the “least attractive” of ‘90s bombshell Christy Chung’s three daughters (damn bad, right!?). But it looks like haters finally have to eat their words now that the 12-year-old is making waves for her talent and good looks.

While Jaden is no stranger to dance competitions, she’s now strutting her stuff on a much bigger stage as a participant on Chinese variety show Let’s Dance!, and one of her latest performances has got audiences raving about her.

In a recent episode, Jaden delivered a powerful and mesmerising dance performance to ‘Everybody Wants To Be A Cat’ in a shiny, fluffy dress with golden heels and hair ties that resembled cat ears.

The tween’s smooth moves, confidence, and style earned her some well-deserved high praise from the judges, who said: “My jaw quickly dropped. That was the most beautiful line I’ve ever seen on a 12-year-old girl.” (P/S: The term “line” refers to the outline of a dancer’s body while posing or performing.)

Netizens also went crazy over Jaden’s gracefulness and good looks, particularly her “long and slender legs” that she undoubtedly inherited from her hot mama.

Comments include: “Her proportions are really amazing”, “My God, I’m so envious of her”, “Wow, I didn’t expect her to turn into a beautiful young lady. Her dancing is great, those long legs!”, and “Her dancing is too charming! I look forward to her future endeavours”.

Proud mama Christy herself also gushed about her daughter on Weibo, writing, “This little cat girl danced so elegantly”, to which Jaden modestly replied, “This was an unforgettable performance! I will continue to work hard!”

According to reports, Jaden started learning Latin dance when she was seven years old, so she has about five years of experience under her belt.

She’s done some modelling too, having walked the runway for a children’s fashion boutique with her younger sister Cayla in December 2019, proving that she isn’t afraid of the spotlight.

Jaden and Cayla are Christy’s daughters from her second marriage to music producer Jon Yen. Christy, who is currently married to Chinese actor Shawn Zhang, also has 23-year-old Yasmine from her first marriage to British businessman Glen Ross.
