#SHOWBIZ: Couture Clash: Miss Universe HK Lizzie Li rejects claims she damaged pageant gowns

Miss Universe Hong Kong 2025 Lizzie Li has denied claims that she damaged two couture gowns during the recent pageant finals, rejecting a request to pay HK$10,380 (RM5,400) in repair costs. The dispute arose after the evening gown sponsor sought reimbursement for damage they alleged was caused by Li, who argued that the damage could have been due to normal wear and tear or repair costs in Malaysia being between RM100 and RM300.

Li has since disputed the suggestion that she had deliberately damaged the gowns, insisting she would consider covering the costs if the sponsor provided original purchase receipts and an official repair invoice.
