Chinese actress Fan Bingbing has been selected to represent the style of Asia in the latest fashion book, A Journey in Style.

The book, penned by Elizabeth Walker, the former fashion and beauty editor of Marie Claire, pays tribute to some of the most stylish travelers, outfits and luggage that ever graced the venues of Britain's Heathrow airport through the ages. Stars' styles at the airport are often regarded as truer representations of their tastes in fashion. Compared to elaborate dresses and bling on the red carpet, what stars wear to travel is more relatable to the daily lives of the general public.

Fan, known for her forward and open attitude towards fashion, is the only star from China to have been selected as one of the world's most influential style icons. Aside from letting her own personality shine through her choice of clothes, Fan has also played a significant part in introducing the style of China, as well as domestic designers such as Christopher Bu, to the world with her love of China-inspired red carpet looks.

Looks for sexy sirens Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietrich, elegant actress Audrey Hepburn, former US first lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis, legendary musicians Mick Jagger and The Beatles and supermodels Twiggy and Kate Moss are also featured in the book. Socialite Kim Kardashian, singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham and actress Gwen Stefani are also included.

All seems to be going well for Fan, in public and private. With a $21-million paycheck, the 34-year-old actress was listed as the fourth highest-paid actress in 2015 by Forbes magazine in August. Her romance with actor Li Chen has been going smoothly, with rumors of their marriage popping up here and there.
