Beautiful girls and pretty boys were the highlight of the Gucci store launch at Wynn Macau.

Designer brands are nothing new to Macau. Just take a walk round the shops in 5-star hotels like Wynn Macau, MGM Grand and The Venetian and you’ll see luxury boutiques like Louis Vuitton, Emporio Armani, Dior, Versace and Ferragamo everywhere.Those in the know actually stock up on their designer goods here.

The prices are actually lower than many other cities like Singapore, since Macau’s imports are are not taxed.

And last Friday,  one of the big players, Gucci, launched their first Macau store in Wynn, with the focus on accessories.

While it wasn’t a flashy affair - invited guests comprised press and VIP customers - there were some notable celebrities in attendance.

Macau-born model/actress Gaile Lok (above, right) showed off Gucci’s Spring Summer ‘08 line along with other models Patina Lin, Mikki Yao and Eunis Chen. Gaile (or should we say Mrs Lai), recently married Hong Kong superstar Leon Lai in an intimate ceremony in the Maldives on March 13.

In the later part of the evening, Hong Kong celebrity couple model QiQi (of SK-II fame) and her action star husband Simon Yam made an appearance hand-in-hand.

Six-footer QiQi was thoughtful enough to wear flat boots, though she still looked like an Amazon next to Simon, who is 5 foot 11 inches. QiQi’s 70s hairstyle makes the couple look like the Asian version of Sonny and Cher.

I dunno, maybe it’s just me.

The celebrity couple (bottom right) had dinner with (from left) Mimi Tang, President of Gucci Group Asia Pacific and Pansy Ho, daughter of Stanley, who has a stake in MGM.

Pansy, who is in her mid-40s looks amazingly young and fresh. We know QiQi’s secret lies in her SK-II products, but we’d love to find out Pansy’s beauty secrets - her flawless skin makes her look at least a decade longer than she actually is.

QiQi,  may be endorsed by SK-II, but even all the pitera in the world cannot replicate the youthful glow that radiated from Gaile.

Newly married Gaile, appeared sans her superstar husband, but she looked every inch the radiant new bride.

Although petite Gaile admitted removing her breast implants due to health complications, there is one thing that is still supersized - her luscious lips!

We’re not sure how natural they are, but they certainly give Angelina Jolie’s puckers a run for their money!
