Artistry

Fanxy Red's style is often described as androgynous or tomboyish,{{Cite web|url=https://qz.com/944691/ffc-acrush-chinas-hottest-new-boy-band-is-actually-made-up-of-five-androgynous-girls/|title=China's hottest new boy band is actually made up of five androgynous girls|last=Huang|first=Zheping|date=2017-03-30|website=Quartz|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2019-09-06}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.businessoffashion.com/articles/global-currents/why-luxury-is-banking-on-tomboy-influencers-gucci-chanel-chris-lee-sunnee|title=Why Luxury Is Banking on Tomboy Influencers|last=Suen|first=Zoe|date=2019-08-05|website=The Business of Fashion|language=en-GB|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2019-09-06}} being mentioned in Chinese media as "meishaonian" (美少年) which means "handsome youths". In 2017, Dazed described the group as "cisgender girls, whose hair, make-up and clothes make them look uncannily like Korean boy bands – which don’t really dress like girls, but also don’t really dress like boys."{{Cite web |last=Bram |first=Barclay |date=2017-09-25 |title=A week with China’s most exciting boyband, who are all girls |url=https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/37216/1/ffc-acrush-interview-chinese-boyband-made-of-girls |access-date=2024-09-13 |website=Dazed |language=en}}
In the past, Lu Keran stated the company doesn’t allow her to discuss her own or her teammates’ sexual orientations,{{Cite web|url=https://qz.com/944691/ffc-acrush-chinas-hottest-new-boy-band-is-actually-made-up-of-five-androgynous-girls/|title=China's hottest new boy band is actually made up of five androgynous girls|last=Huang|first=Zheping|date=2017-03-30|website=Quartz|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2019-09-06}} and has since corrected anyone calling her a boy, instead stating that she is a girl.
