The wedding was held at Hotel Inter-Continental Pudong in eastern Shanghai Tuesday afternoon with an estimated budget of 140,000 yuan (US$20,000).

Wang, a star featured in numerous stage dramas, TV series and films, has been regarded as one of "the most attractive bachelors in China."

Chen was a waitress at a local five-star hotel before becoming a well-known supermodel. After her younger sister married a senior executive of a Lamborghini (China) distributor, Chen became the managing director of the eastern China distributor of the luxury sports car.

Chen's Lamborghini store is next to Shanghai Theatre Academy where Wang studied and is now teaching.
