Zhang Ziyi Attends Paris Fashion Week

Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi was in Paris on Monday, January 21, 2013, attending the Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2013 Haute-Couture Show which is part of the Paris Fashion Week.

The actress has earned rave reviews for her performance in Wong Kar-wai’s new film “The Grandmaster”. She plays a woman inheriting martial-arts skills from her father.
Zhang, who has starred in a number of kung-fu films including Ang Lee’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, has said “The Grandmaster” is her last action movie, because she thinks she has played the best action role of her career.
