A post shared by Eliza Sam 岑麗香 (@heungheungeliza)

Hong Kong’s very own ‘Princess Heung Heung’, Eliza Sam, is another star that benefits from sweet young looks. She is, however, already a mother of one and has been in the entertainment industry for a decade. Born and raised in Vancouver, Sam first won the Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant in 2009, followed by the Miss Chinese International Pageant in 2010. Sam was noted for her roles in various TVB dramas, including Divas in Distress (2012), Never Dance Alone (2014), Angel In-the-Making (2015), Apple-colada (2017), among others. While Sam may not be the first to come to mind in terms of the sexiest celebrities, her recent shots on Instagram have shown another side of her, as she matures and goes beyond the ‘sweetheart’ impression – and we’re loving it!
