Known for reinventing her style and image , Tsai 's music and fashion sense are noted by the media and general public . Although she was modest in appearance in early years , her image and fashion has changed several times since the release of her fifth studio album , '' Magic '' ( 2003 ) . Around the time of the release of '' Magic '' , Japan 's '' Ray '' magazine named her " Taiwan 's trend-setter " . However , many critics felt that her style at the time was too similar to those of Japanese singer Ayumi Hamsaki . In a public interview , Tsai spoke about comparisons to Hamasaki : " Fashion is a prevailing trend in the style in which a person dresses , but there is nothing to do with copy ; I feel honored to be compared with her , but we are different though we have similar fashion sense . " With the beginning of her first concert tour , '' J1 World Tour '' ( 2004 – 2006 ) , Tsai mostly dismissed her innocent image for a more sexy look . In 2006 , Tsai received an MTV Asia Award for the Style Award . At the same time , '' Yahoo! Taiwan '' named her the most stylish artist in Taiwan . Since 2007 , Tsai has been invited to watch the " Big Four " fashion weeks , Met Gala , and Victoria 's Secret Fashion Show , made her the first Chinese singer that has been officially invited to attend all of these notable fashion events . Her appearance has landed her on the cover of magazines such as '' Elle '' , '' Harper 's Bazaar '' , '' Marie Claire '' , and '' Vogue '' . Tsai is also considered a sex symbol . In 2006 , '' FHM Taiwan '' ranked her fourteenth on the " 100 Sexiest Women in the World " list . She also had appeared in the top ten on the list eight times in the subsequent ten years . In 2016 , '' FHM Taiwan '' ranked her first on the list again
