BEIJING, July 11 (Xinhuanet) -- Most Chinese people got to know Liv Tyler, the beautiful Hollywood star, through her role as the elf princess Arwen in the hit movie series "The Lord of The Rings."
When the actress appeared in Shanghai recently for the launch of a limited denim collection she had designed, crowds turned out to take a close look at the princess. Wearing a casual, somehow tomboyish jumpsuit, she looked cool and edgy instead of being soft and feminine as most people expected. On her first trip to China, Tyler took a short visit around the city in three days and was deeply impressed by the World Expo pavilions. "I will come back," she said.
Daughter of Aerosmith's lead singer, Steven Tyler, and model/singer Bebe Buell, Tyler, 33, started acting as a teenager and is currently working on two films, "Super" and "Max Rose."
Q: It is your first visit to both Shanghai and China. What did you expect to see and what are your impressions having toured around the city?
A: Shanghai is an amazing city, very modern and futuristic. I'm so happy to be here. We only got to spend a few hours at the Expo site but I was impressed by the pavilions I saw. It's a pity that I only have three days in Shanghai and unfortunately there's no time for me to visit other cities in China. I do hope to come back to China soon.
Q: Most Chinese people got to know you as the elf princess Arwen in "The Lord of the Rings." You dressed up very feminine and elegantly in that movie. So what is your personal dressing style?
