Meng Wanzhou, CFO of Chinese tech giant Huawei, was recently freed from Canada after a deal with the US Department of Justice. The tech executive, who was previously under house arrest in her multimillion-dollar mansion in Vancouver, travelled to Shenzhen on a chartered Air China flight on September 25. Two Canadians detained in China were also released and returned to their home country.

During her three-year detention in Canada, the daughter of the tech company’s founder, Ren Zhengfei, attended numerous court hearings. And one thing we noticed over the years was her incredible style transformation, going from simple hoodies and trainers to well-curated high fashion ensembles. Her refined looks featured clothing and accessories from luxury labels Hermès, Chanel, Fendi, Miu Miu as well as sky-high stilettos from Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin and Roger Vivier – together with her ankle monitor.
