We'll admit it: we're a little jealous of Xiao Wang. Forget about the fact that she's a stunning, accomplished actress, model and designer. And that she's able to somehow put together the most dreamy, unexpected jewels from what could be seen as random combinations of precious colored gems and diamonds. What's really making us green with envy is her forthcoming signature scent: Look out Britney and JLo!
