Rumours of an extramarital affair between Jensen Huang, chief executive of US chip giant Nvidia, and Chinese woman Alice Huang have drawn public attention. Sellers on Chinese e-commerce platform Taobao have also produced copies of the pink dress she wore in a video showing her interacting with him, pricing them at just 58 yuan (about S$11.19).
The video was filmed on 22 May last year at a restaurant in Taipei. It shows Alice Huang wearing a pink dress while dining with Jensen Huang and others.
Sing Tao Headline reported on Saturday (14 November) that Taobao sellers had swiftly launched knock-off versions of the pink dress for just 58 yuan.
According to the report, the Taobao listings used a photograph of Jensen Huang and Alice Huang together as a promotional image. The dress was described as a “Miss Huang cosplay costume” and “the same style as Jensen’s girlfriend’s”, and marketed for recreating the look for social media photos and stage performances.
The listings also offered free delivery directly to Hong Kong, with arrival estimated three to four days after dispatch. However, no sales had been recorded as of the time of the report.
After comparing images, some netizens suggested that the pink dress worn by Alice Huang appeared to be from French luxury brand Dior. It originally cost about US$3,500 (about S$4,505) and has since been discontinued.
US media reported that Alice Huang, a former senior executive at Singapore artificial intelligence (AI) company Megaspeed, was among the women with whom Jensen Huang had extramarital affairs. US authorities suspect her of involvement in Chinese intelligence activities and are investigating whether Megaspeed helped Chinese companies obtain chips subject to export controls.
