“Having prominent parents is a double-edged sword,” Lam-Ho told us last year. “People do constantly compare me, but I think it’s important not to compare myself because they succeeded in their own right, whereas I’m paving my own road.”

Despite comparisons with her family, Lam-Ho’s dedication to her environmental mission sets her apart. Married to venture capitalist Kent Ho, son of former Sing Tao chairman Charles Ho, she spearheads Empact28, an investment platform supporting female-led start-ups, and other green initiatives, including 8Shades and EcoDrive.

Today, the 38-year-old gracefully balances green activism with an opulent lifestyle. Here’s a sneak peek inside the fabulous life of the heiress who’s made a name for herself.

Emily Lam-Ho’s love for fabulous designer clothes

As a businesswoman and public figure, Lam-Ho defies expectations by consistently surprising us with her fashion choices.

For instance, the mother-of-two was spotted in a vivacious Valentino sequin coat and matching gold trousers during her trip to Paris. On another occasion, she made a fashion-forward choice with a white hooded minidress by Ferragamo at a La Prairie x Art Basel event this year.

Not only does Lam-Ho sport many designer duds, but her love for fashion has also earned her invitations to prominent runway shows. Earlier this May, she was among the lucky glitterati to attend the Gucci Cruise 2024 show held at Seoul’s Gyeongbokgung Palace, where she graced the front row in a black train dress.

Her covetable handbag and shoe collections

Just like her fashion influencer younger sister Elly Lam, the Hong Kong heiress also loves designer handbags and shoes. During her Paris sojourn, she effortlessly embraced the local style, dressing the part with a simple yet stylish monochrome outfit while flaunting Chloé’s Penelope “It” bag.

The accessory comes with a price tag of US$2,850. Lam-Ho matched the look with a pair of colourful Nama trainers from the brand.

On another occasion in May, Lam-Ho wore the two-toned Prada Galleria bag.

No luxury handbag collection is complete without Hermès, and Lam-Ho seems to have a soft spot for the French treasures. At Hong Kong Art Basel, she confidently flaunted an Hermès crocodile Kelly clutch.

Her lavish holidays

This eco warrior seems to find solace amid nature’s wonders. She’s posted photos of herself in Palawan, Philippines, which is known for its pristine beaches and lush landscapes.

Lam-Ho’s daily outings can range from visiting the snow-capped mountains of Aspen, Colorado, to gadding about Hong Kong or enjoying Disneyland.

She appreciates good art

The Columbia University graduate is also a prominent figure in Hong Kong’s bustling art scene, attending events like the Hong Kong Art Basel and ReStart Lacma party, and having private viewings at Hauser & Wirth.

A true socialite, Lam-Ho is also known for her fabulous dinners and soirées. With vibrant decorations and exquisite tableware from Milan’s La Double J, Parisian Astier de Villatte, Hermès and Lane Crawford, as seen on her Instagram, each of her events is a celebration of style and sophistication.

Her A-list friends

Given her social status and strong network, Lam-Ho has rubbed shoulders with a lot of famous names, but some have left a lasting mark. This year she got the chance to meet her role model Stella McCartney, who had a significant impact in her life, as she told us last year in an interview.

“I looked up to Stella McCartney because she’s also the daughter of someone very prominent, but she’s succeeded on her own merits. When she first started championing sustainability and veganism, people were sceptical, but she stood her ground and made it her own.”

Hollywood A-listers like Kathy Hilton are also known to be in her circle too. The reality TV star often leaves heart emojis on Lam-Ho’s posts, signalling what could be the start of a more solid friendship. We hope, anyway …
