Style Profile: Cheryl Tiu

Globetrotting tastemaker Cheryl Tiu is in a league of her own. The stylish, food-savvy journalist turns heads as she takes on the world, one bite at a time

In between her deadlines, one may find Cheryl Tiu in any of the newest food destinations around the world, savouring entrées or reviewing newly concocted cocktails. It isn’t hard to take notice of Tiu as the petite charmer has her signature style down pat.

Given her hectic travel schedule, she relies on a capsule wardrobe which consists of practical pieces that can be worn in many ways, and combines them with eye-catching accessories in contrasting details to reflect an edgy, rock n' roll vibe. She names Olivia Palermo and Rocky Barnes as her current Instagram style inspirations.
