La Lingerie is a 2008 Hong Kong film written and co-directed by Chan Hing-Kai and Janet Chun, and is a loose follow-up to Chan's 2001 debut La Brassiere. Stephy Tang Lai-yan (鄧麗欣) heads the film's ensemble cast, which also includes Janice Man Wing-san (文詠珊), J.J. Jia Xiao-chen (賈曉晨), Kathy Yuen Ka-yee (袁家怡) and Ronald Cheng Chung-kei (鄭中基).

Aspiring designer Miu Ho (Stephy) is hired as a "Lingerie Researcher", and is given the task of finding out how lingerie makes the woman, or in some cases, the other way around. After her aunt Lara 盧覓雪 Michelle Lo Mik-suet) unexpectedly passes away, Miu Ho and her cousin Donut (Janice) inherit a spacious, fully furnished apartment filled with designer lingerie. The two girls live upstairs from Celine (Kathy), a gold digging flight attendant who has had items of underwear stolen by a mysterious thief (黄又南 Wong You-nam), and after reporting the incident to the authorities becomes involved with auxiliary policeman James Shum (徐天佑 Chui Tien-you). Donut works in a lingerie shop, and is involved with a much older married man, Henry (陈辉虹 Chan Fai Hung), who buys her a pink bra as his first gift. Bargirl CC (JJ) is a customer at Donut's shop, and after meeting Harvard student Eugene (安志杰 Andy On Kit) believes that she may have found true love.

Still a virgin, Miu Ho is determined not to end up like her unmarried aunt Lara, and resolves to find her first love. Her new colleagues warn her about the office lothario, marketing manager Lucas (Ronald), but after a failed attempt to bed her the two instead become friends. Lucas tries to teach Miu Ho how to attract men, which leads to a number of encounters with potential suitors, including sperm bank worker CY (鄭詩君 Cheng Sze-kwan) and writer Jack Dee (陸永權 Luk Wing-kuen). Eventually she ends up in a relationship with "Prince" Antonio (王祖藍 Wong Cho-lam), the narcissistic heir to her company, but an increasingly jealous Lucas realises that his feelings for Miu Ho are genuine after all.
