How does Callina Liang avoid wardrobe malfunctions during fight scenes - Video

That's why Chun-Li is the hardest Street Fighter costume - she does 100% high kicks in a qipao.

Callina Liang as Chun-Li has talked about this a lot for the new Street Fighter movie out Oct 16 2025:

*How she avoids it:*

*1. The costume is engineered, not just sewn.* Costume designer Kym Barrett knew they had to nail it and it was the last costume to come together. It took 4 or 5 separate fittings and the fabric was sourced in one place, cut in another, studs applied somewhere else entirely - it traveled around the world before it arrived. The final version not only looked amazing but allowed her to move and fight.

*2. It's not a normal qipao - it's a fight suit.* The blue qipao-style outfit with spiked wrist cuffs and signature ox-horn hair buns you see in set photos is actually layered: there are built-in dance shorts / compression bodysuit underneath, the slits are tacked down so they open for kicks but snap back, and the top is anchored to the bodysuit.

*3. The training changed her body to fill it.* She trained 2 hours a day in Taekwondo, Muay Thai, and wushu while bulking - 12 eggs a day and a meal every 2 hours. By the end her thighs grew 6.5 cm each so the suit is skin-tight and doesn't shift.

*4. Stunt tricks:* For the famous Spinning Bird Kick and Spinning Back Kick, a former Cirque du Soleil performer helped with harnesses and rigs, and stunt double Megan Hui trained 6 months for those moves. They use double-sided fashion tape, sewn-in silicone grippers at thigh hem, and nude matte tights under everything.

So no photoshop - she literally said "I don't have time to photoshop ok" on set when people accused her legs of being edited.
