Cong Tri said that he was contacted recently by the stylists of many Hollywood artists, including Gabrielle Union's.

On May 1, Canadian actress Cobie Smulders wore a Cong Tri outfit at the Billboard Music Awards 2019. Smulders’s choice was a costume from the designer’s fall-winter collection 2019 presented at the New York Fashion Week in February. Smulders combined the outfit with sparkling silver sandals.

Cong Tri said that this dress fit the star at the very first try, and so it did not take him much time to customize it for her. 

Smulders is well-known for her role in TV series How I Met Your Mother, and in blockbusters like The Avengers, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron. 

Cong Tri made his debut at the New York Fashion Week this February, becoming the first Vietnamese designer to do so. His collection was covered by fashion magazine Vogue and received acclaim from several media outlets. The designer’s costumes have been favored by many artists including Rihanna, Katy Perry, Rita Ora, Kate Bosworth, Katherine McNamara and Josephine Skriver.
