My most memorable beaded dress of all time, was a ‘silver-tube ensemble’ – 銀管裝, as we called it in Taiwan; worn by one of Taiwan’s most glamorous and famous singers and entertainers (from the 70’s to the 90’s) Louise Tsuei 崔苔菁.
That silver-tube, beaded and fringed costume Louise wore in 1981, wowed the whole nation! Louise won her ‘Sexy Goddess’ nickname that she has held onto ever since.
Truly, a beaded dress is super glamorous; it has WOW factor and The Great Gatsby era luxury look.
Many years after and no longer that little girl admiring Louise Tsuei’s metallic beaded ensemble; I decided to get myself a beaded cocktail dress.
When I finally spotted this detail beaded dress, which featuring a blouson style top and a fitted skirt, also with a deep V back, it was love at the first sight!
With the new year approaching, it’s certainly on my top choice to-wear list for attending any New Year celebration party.
When I google searched for Louise’s 1981 album 但是又何奈專輯, I found a YouYube clip of Louise wearing her famous ‘silver-tube ensemble’. It took me right back to that little girl adoring her in front of the TV.., I was so excited; emotional and I had tears of joy!! I was singing along, lost in times past…
Unfortunately, that video clip has been taken down due to violating copyright. Although we don’t have the music video to watch, let’s take a look at the image below – Louise Tsuei the ‘Eastern Marilyn Monroe’ in her infamous ‘silver-tube ensemble’.

Thank you Kent. We should ‘shoot’ together more often? What do you say?!!! 😉
That stunning dress is making me wish it was summer here in Crete. Gorgeous detailing, elegant and whimsical at the same time!
Your feedback has put a BIG smile on my face Fia! 😀 Summer is worth celebrating; it puts us on the mood to dress up; going out and enjoy the long hot summer night!!! (in shining beaded cocktail dress of course!) 😉
Of course! Shine and glitter on like a star in the summer night sky 🙂
You look great & very stylish in it! I love it too! x
Thank you for your compliments Sophie! X X
Waaauww, looks stunning. And i like the combination with a deep V-back. It definitely completes the dress. I make dresses myself, and I always try to focus on the back, since that gives your dress that extra glamorous look.
