A top Chinese actress has had her face examined as part of a high-profile legal case in China, the BBC says quoting local media.
Actress Angelababy is suing a clinic for defamation after it alleged she had plastic surgery done on her face.
Doctors who examined her on Thursday said that her looks were genuine, said the BBC report.
It came a week after her widely-publicised wedding to actor Huang Xiaoming, who has defended her, saying she "sometimes looks quite ugly".
According to the report, a Beijing judge had suggested that her face be examined by medical professionals to certify its authenticity.
The 26-year-old actress, whose real name is Yeung Wing, went through a series of X-ray scans and tests - which at one stage involved a doctor prodding her face - at a plastic surgery hospital in the capital on Thursday. She was accompanied by notaries public and several journalists.

Hospital chief Qi Zuoliang later pronounced her looks to be genuine. "Baby's entire head and facial bones do not have any signs of incisions," he told reporters, using a popular abbreviation of the actress' stage name.

News of her examination dominated discussion on Chinese social network Sina Weibo on Thursday, with many of her fans expressing support.

Angelababy, who first shot to fame as a model and actress in Hong Kong, has long been dogged by rumours that she had plastic surgery, with pictures purportedly showing her natural face circulating online in recent years.
