Bling Empire: New York is Netflix’s latest reality TV series following real-life crazy rich Asians, and comes after the success of its OG Bling Empire and Dubai Bling shows

The ladies’ fashion is on point, of course, from Tina Leung’s Valentino and Chanel ensembles, to Lynn Ban’s retro Gucci shades and Nam Laks’ Blair Waldorf-like Self Portrait attire and Prada tie

When Hollywood unleashed Crazy Rich Asians onto the world in 2018, it took Asian representation to a whole new – and glamorous – level, and was met with critical acclaim and a flood of positivity from the community.

But the ridiculously wealthy lives of these Asian elites weren’t entirely fictional. If anything, the “real life” versions of the film’s characters might even be considered more ostentatious.

Enter Bling Empire, Netflix’s answer to reality TV fans’ prayers. The show came out in 2021, following the uber-rich, uber-materialistic lives of the ever-so-fabulous Asian socialites of LA. The franchise quickly followed up with two more seasons and expanded its reach with Dubai Bling, and now Bling Empire: New York.

From the same producers who brought us Keeping Up with the Kardashians and The Simple Life with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, Bling Empire: New York has all the drama you’d expect from such a show. And, of course, the fashion is equally on point … well, most of the time.

Here are the 10 best style moments from the ladies of Bling Empire: New York season one.

Hongkongers may already be familiar with Deborah Hung – and if not the woman herself, then at least the custom pink “Deborah” Rolls-Royce she cruises around town in.
