At the beginning of 21st century, adult women including young ladies and university students fell over themselves for child style clothes and hairstyles as if they wanted to relive their childhood. They cut a kind of kid hairstyle, which was to 
curl the tip of hair on both temples, and put on pink or lemon yellow butterfly or flower hairpins. The upper clothes sometime were tight and small and sometimes loose and cute, which made them look like naughty kids. They wore kids’ style shoes with square openings and slanting shoelaces and carried satchels with patterns of bear head. Some students, like kids who refused to grow up, even hung rubber nipples or mobile phones in front of the chest.
In 2001, the small Chinese belly-cover was once very popular. In the awarding ceremony of Cannes Film Festival, the movie star Zhang Ziyi attracted the attention of tile fashion circle when she wore a specially made red belly cover, and draped a long piece of red silk around shoulder, which made her look like an ancient Chinese doll. Later, wearing a diamond shape belly-cover without any additional adornments, she appeared in the MTV awarding ceremony. So very soon, in all kinds of occasions and media formats, no matter stars or ordinary fashionable girls all began to wear all kinds of belly covers.
At the beginning of the 21st century, there was also a big change on the shoe vamp. In 2002, those cute "sponge cake" shoes were no longer popular while shoes with sharp turning up tips (like Charlie Chaplin style shoes) and decorated with shining adornments appeared. One year after, round tip style shoes that imitated the toe shoes were the rage in the market.
At the end of 20th century, international fashion world began to favor oriental style. Oriental elegance, tranquility, simplicity and mystery became the global fashion elements. With the rising of China's position in the world, overseas Chinese started to feel proud to wear Chinese costumes, women in Mainland China naturally put on Chinese jackets and many Chinese men consider Chinese cotton jackets as fashionable. Chinese dresses of nowadays are not like those classical traditional Chinese coats or jackets. Many female Chinese costumes adopted the fashionable elements. The costume arrangement looks rather interesting when girls put on print or flamboyant cotton cloth coats with edgings and stand collar, jeans and leather shoes in tile latest fashion.
