Kelly Cheung

Cheung was born in Hong Kong and was raised there until she was ten years old before moving to Chicago where attended St. Therese Chinese Catholic School[1] and later graduated from University of Illinois Chicago with a degree in Business Administration.

Cheung was 21 when she competed Miss Chinese Chicago and is the only Chicago representative to ever hold the title. She was the winner of Friendship Ambassador as well. Cheung represented Hong Kong, China at Miss World 2012 in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, marking the first time a Miss Chinese International titleholder represents Hong Kong at Miss World instead of a Miss Hong Kong Pageant titleholder.[2] This was due to the Miss World pageant timeframe shifting from November to August and thus conflicting with that of Miss Hong Kong Pageant. At Miss World Pageant 2012, Cheung entered top 47 in Top Model and Top 40 in Beach Fashion.

After becoming a pageant winner, Cheung moved back to Hong Kong and joined TVB after abdicated from Miss Chinese International in January 2013. With her fluent English, she joined Dolce Vita and Pearl Entertainment Tonight on the English language channel TVB Pearl Jade, as well as the Scoop (TVB) (東張西望) as one of the hosts.

Cheung also had a successful modeling career prior to her pageant wins. She was awarded "Best New Model 2010" by Elite HK Model Management. She had appeared in numerous television commercials as well as featuring in fashion and beauty magazines.

In 2016, Cheung made her acting debut in the legal drama Law dis-Order. In 2019, she starred in the critical acclaimed medical drama Big White Duel, receiving attention from netizens. She gained recognition by winning the Most Improved Female Artiste award at the 2019 TVB Anniversary Awards.
