Miss Hong Kong Pageant 1993

This poster of 1993's Miss HK was an ad for Acuvue Contact Lenses. Mariane Chan's picture looks kind of weird, but she won 最美麗相中人 ('Most Beautiful Picture Person').

Kenix Kwok won the awards for 'Media Favourite' and 'Most Acting Potential'.

The number two contestant's name is Li Si Wan (李詩韻)!

FYI: TVB didn't have the 'Miss Photogenic' award in 1993. TVB only had the award for 'Most Acting Potential' in 1993 and 1994. Kenix presented the award to Maggie Cheung in 1994.

  3. Yes... when I looked at the pics, I realised there's a Li Sze Wan! Kenix and Marianne both look good in the photos.
    And I believe that no.16 is an actress we still see on TV, playing ke-le-fe roles.. I think she was in Gem of Life?

  4. Quality of MHK contestants/finalists have flopped, that's for sure. I think #10 looks so pretty. Who is she?

    #11, OMG! It's Teresa Mak! I love her! Never knew she joined the pageant...

    #12 looks familiar. Wasn't she in A Kindred Spirit?

    #14 was the winner, wow. And yup, Alex's wife, another wow, lol. She was in AKS and DIF II, no wonder I found her familiar too.

    Thanks Hyn for posting this. It shows a glaring contrast between now and back then, tsk tsk.

  5. #8 鄧麗文 Tang Lai Man and #12 林佩君 Lam Pui Kwan only played ke-le-fe roles in TVB, but Tang Lai Man left to ATV and was in "Healing Hearts". Lam Pui Kwan always play office lady/secretary roles in TVB.

    #10 周逸鳳 Chow Yat Fung I don't think she was ever in TVB.

    #11 Teresa Mak married in 2006, and has a boy now. She is no longer in ATV now.

    #14 Mok Ho Yan is Alex Fong Chung Sun's wife.

    To lizzy: #16 楊碧暉 Yeung Bik Fai I don't think she was ever in TVB series. You might have her mixed up with someone with the last name of Lam. That person is a ke-le-fe in many TVB series. But my most memorable role of her's is in "Legal Entanglement". She played Kenix's ex-husband's maid. :)

    I totally agree with guys! This year's Miss HK are all "Pork Chops!" Why do they even go and participate in a beauty pageant?

  6. OMG! Hyn5! You're right. It's not the same person at all, but in that photo they do really look alike! The ke-le-fe actress is 溫裕紅, don't you think they look really alike?

    But in other photos of that contestant, 楊碧暉, she looks different. I found this page with colored photos:

    And do you think that #19 Christina Cheng does really lookalike Fiona Leung (梁藝齡)?

  7. 溫裕紅 has been in TVB for a long time. She's very good friends with Ada, Cho Lam, etc. She is very tall. And, she's a great swimmer. :)

  8. I don't think it is Selena Li amongst those beauties. Despite, the same name I don't think its her because it sure doesn't look like her. 李詩韻 is a very common name.

  9. To Anonymous:

    Obviously that's not Selena, as Selena was only 12 years old in 1993. That contestant only has the same Chinese name as Selena.

    The last name and name is very common. Lee/Li is the second most common last name after Chan/Chen. :)
