The offspring of the rich and famous don’t tend to have the best reputations. But not Sham Yuet, who’s more your girl-next-door, studying hard and spending time with family. In our cover story this March, she opens up about life in the limelight, her supportive parents, career aspirations and doing what she does best — being her cheerful self.
In the public eye, Sham has lived a pretty glamorous, if slightly sheltered life. The eldest daughter of one of Hong Kong’s most well-known and powerful couples – Chingmy Yau, ’90s screen siren and the most sought-after actress of the decade, and fashion mogul Sham Kar-Wai – the 19-year-old is the spitting image of her mother and stepping out on her own. She made her grand entrance at the 2019 Le Bal Les Débutantes, the annual, by-invitation-only event in Paris that launches 20 of the world’s most promising and prestigious young women into high society. Earlier that year she walked her first runway show in London, wearing Bapy for Izzue under I.T. Group. It’s little wonder that all eyes are on Sham.
