Felicia Chin may be serving up all kinds of confident, power looks on our July 2019 cover, but in reality, the local actress is known for favouring softer-looking outfits that brim with romance and a girlish sense of coolness.
Take, for example, that time she looked like an angel descending from the high heavens when she wore a feathery frock from Jessicacindy to this year's Star Awards. And who could've forgotten her Off-White by Virgil Abloh dress (above) at the Star Awards 2018, where graphic blooms and lively ruffles made her a standout amongst her other stylish peers.
There's no denying that Felicia Chin has a great sense of style, so in celebration of this month's cover star, learn how you can also look as good as her no matter where you go.

Felicia Chin Plays Never Have I Ever
Singaporean offices are notorious for being chilly (we know because our A/C is the same too), which is why wearing a coat as a dress makes sense. The key is to find a coat that's light enough to be worn outside of the office, so look for a design without any lining inside. Also, it eliminates the need to have to bring a jacket, as the long sleeves help keep you warm too.
LBDs are a wardrobe staple, no doubt, and you probably have a couple hanging in your closet already. So instead of buying yet another plain black dress, work one with a little muted sparkle. Felicia's fit-and-flare dress from Michael Kors is perfect for the office because the embellishments are tiny and don't sparkle too much, but can also be worn to a cocktail event after office hours.
You've probably seen the term "colour story" being thrown around, but do you know what it really means? Simply put, it's when you figure out a colour palette of shades that blend into each other, but stand out just enough. Felicia's outfit here makes the perfect case, because the bright green dress anchors the look. To compliment, she's used soft shades of yellow and a deeper emerald colour to add contrast.
Tweed jackets are great workwear companions, but so often, they feel staid and a little matronly. Yet Felicia's Chanel jacket averts that faux pas entirely because she's chosen to pair it with a pair of ripped jeans and shaggy, blunt bangs. It's instantly cooler and feels more effortless.
Pyjama pants don't necessarily strike one as being a timeless addition to your closet, but they actually do wonders when styled right. First, you have to find one that comes in a classic colour and cut. The safest bet is this pair of navy silk pants with white trimming, which Felicia is wearing. Pair it with a grey blazer for a more laidback office look, or team with a white t-shirt and sneakers to bring you to brunch in style.
If maxi dresses aren't your closet BFF yet, then you're missing out. Firstly, it hides your food baby or parts of your body that you may not feel secure in, whilst simultaneously making you look more dressed up. And lastly, you can throw it on in two quick seconds and you're ready to head out the door!
Party dresses are great fun to look at, but raise your hands if you've felt constantly annoyed at having to adjust your dress each time you stand up, or put up with having to sit and walk uncomfortably. With a jumpsuit, none of that will happen, because you now get to move around freely and without restriction. The only caveat comes when you go to the toilet, but that's a little setback for the feel-good moments you'll have in a jumpsuit.
Headed to the office on a Friday? Let sneakers take you there comfortably (after all, it is Friday, and your feet deserve a break). To dress them up for the office, rely on banker stripes to help you look more polished and put-together. Felicia's look here is great because it balance looking presentable with feeling comfortable, and frankly, there's nothing better than knowing you have an outfit on that lets you enjoy both worlds.
