On May 18, Kim Kardashian sparkled her way down the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival 2016 as she made her debut in a crystal-covered dress, shining from head to toe.

The actress said she loved the design and wrote a grateful caption for the gown on Instagram. "Thank you@lanyucoutureofficial for making this amazing dress for me to wear at Cannes!"

While the praise brought the Chinese designer's brand LANYU Haute Couture into focus, it also speaks how Chinese designs have won international recognition for their elegance and uniqueness in recent years.

From Rihanna to Katy Perry, from Blake Lively to Emma Roberts, here are just a few that were chosen by celebrities.
