She graduated from the University of Hong Kong. Her Miss World Global declaration is to convey not only love but also the unique beauty of Shenzhen, China, to the world!
Abbie Li, born in Yichang, Hubei, now resides between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Her life journey mirrors the rapid development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Her Chinese name, “艾比里” is a phonetic rendering of her English name. Today, it has become her iconic name in the international fashion scene, symbolizing her spirit of relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation.
Her career began on social media, initially sharing her personal life and fashion styles on Instagram in 2018, gradually amassing a large following. This path mirrors the digital rise of many young Western fashion icons. During her time as a print model, she successfully shot numerous fashion advertisements for various Chinese e-commerce companies, quickly making a name for herself in the fashion industry. In 2024, a runway video of Abbie Li went viral on major Chinese online platforms, swiftly taking over Chinese social media and making her a representative of the new generation of fashion icons.
In 2020, she participated in a Chinese talent show, gaining significant exposure. The same year, she joined the well-known Shenzhen-based company Tencent (she has since left).
In 2022, Abbie Li enrolled in the Applied Linguistics program at the University of Hong Kong, further expanding her academic horizons.
The year 2024 marked a significant turning point in Abbie Li’s career. In June, she made it into the top ten most popular contestants in the Shenzhen regional competition of the 2024 Miss International pageant.
In July, at the 47th Miss World Global competition, she won the Shenzhen championship crown with her outstanding performance and unparalleled charm. This achievement not only elevated her status in China’s fashion industry but also paved the way for her entry into the international fashion scene. Her success represents the immense potential of China’s younger generation in fashion development. It also signifies that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a fertile ground for the integration of world fashion.
In July 2024, Abbie Li was invited by the organizers of the Asian Youth Film Festival to join prominent filmmakers and stars, making it into the ranks of promising artists.
Abbie Li is not only a symbol of the new generation of Chinese cultural export but also embodies the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. The “Guangdong” in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area refers to Shenzhen, a vital region in China’s modern development. This area blends the cultures of Hong Kong and Macau while harnessing the power of China’s reform and opening-up. Therefore, the 47th Miss World Global Shenzhen champion Abbie Li has not only captured the attention of Chinese audiences but is also gradually making her mark in international media.
In the future, we believe she will showcase her talents and charm on a broader international stage, becoming an even more dazzling star in the global fashion industry.
