On June 26, Chinese actor Ma Sichao appeared at the 31st Shanghai Television Festival “Magnolia Blossoms” Awards Ceremony wearing SHAO’s Teal Green Tailored Tuxedo Shirt.
Ma joined Zhang Linghe, Guan Xiaotong, Li Haofei, Xing Fei, Lai Weiming, Chen Tianxiang and Li Keyi for the ceremony’s opening performance of “闪耀”, originally performed by Wang Sulong. The sequence began with an AI-driven short film featuring Zhang and Guan searching for magnolia petals before the full group came together onstage.
Ma Sichao at the Magnolia Awards
The Magnolia Awards closed the 31st Shanghai Television Festival, bringing together established names and a new generation of Chinese actors across the red carpet, ceremony and live performances.
Ma appeared throughout the evening before joining the opening ensemble onstage. His SHAO look centered on a teal green tailored shirt that shifted the language of formal eveningwear away from the conventional black tuxedo.
Worn open at the neckline, the shirt kept the silhouette controlled while allowing its saturated color and surface to register under the ceremony lighting. The effect was precise rather than heavily styled, giving the piece room to define the look on its own.
The Teal Green Tailored Tuxedo Shirt
The SHAO Teal Green Tailored Tuxedo Shirt takes tuxedo dressing outside its expected monochrome vocabulary.
Its tailored construction gives the shirt the presence of eveningwear while the teal green color changes how that formality is read. On Ma Sichao, the piece sat between shirt and statement tailoring, maintaining a sharp line without requiring the structure of a traditional jacket.
That balance became particularly clear onstage. Against the scale of the Magnolia Awards production, the color remained visible from a distance while the closer photographs revealed a darker, more controlled depth to the teal.
It is a distinctly SHAO approach to formalwear: familiar codes altered just enough to change their attitude.
From the Magnolia Stage to Cases Between Us
The appearance came just ahead of another major moment for Ma Sichao.
On July 5, his Republican-era detective drama Cases Between Us premiered, with Ma taking on the role of cold-faced police officer Yuan Hong. The series brought renewed attention to the actor immediately following his Magnolia Awards appearance, extending a period in which his work moved between live cultural events and a leading television role.
The timing gave the SHAO placement a specific context. This was not simply a red carpet appearance, but a look worn as Ma entered a more visible chapter of his career across performance, television and fashion.
