This month was an especially special time for fashion, with the bulk of Paris Fashion Week taking place in the first few days of March. K-Pop idols made up a good portion of the guests invited to these exclusive fashion shows. Idols took to social media to share the designer outfits and pieces they wore either for magazine covers or new campaigns. Do you know what this means? Once again, Kpopmap will be highlighting some of our favourite high-fashion looks we saw on K-Pop idols this month.
1. BLACKPINK’s Rosé - Yves Saint Laurent
A post shared by ROSÉ (@roses_are_rosie) We’re starting off with the lovely Rosé from megastar group BLACKPINK. Rosé is a fashion powerhouse, being the global ambassador for both Yves Saint Laurent and jewelry brand Tiffany and Co. For March, BLACKPINK fans were in awe after seeing Rosé on the cover for DAZED Korea’s March Issue. She is glammed to the max in Yves Saint Laurent pieces. The looks themself range from old-Hollywood glamour to modern model off duty. For the magazine, she discussed her new budding friendship with YSL’s Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello. Spoiler alert: Rosé will not be the only BLACKPINK member appearing on this list as the entire group wore some stellar high-fashion looks this month.
2. NCT’s WinWin - Valentino
A post shared by WINWIN (@wwiinn_7) Pink has now become the unofficial “official” colour of the year, thanks to the Valentino Autumn/Winter 2022 show. Pierpaolo Piccioli’s show demanded audiences be immersed in the ‘Valentino Pink PP’ hue he developed with Pantone for the show. Attending the event in Shanghai intended to live stream the runway show happening in Paris, NCT’s WinWin is wearing this black-and-white ensemble. The Valentino ‘Waves’ print long-sleeve shirt is the statement piece of WinWin’s look and it’s paired alongside simple black dress pants. WinWin has been killing it with his latest endeavours in fashion and this classic but elevated Valentino look is no exception.
3. BLACKPINK’s JiSoo - Dior
A post shared by JISOO🤍 (@sooyaaa__) Throughout all of March, BLACKPINK’s JiSoo wore an array of Dior looks for Paris Fashion Week and on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Japan and Vogue Korea. While it’s hard to pick a favourite look, the one she wore to the Dior Autumn/Winter 2022 show was one of the highlights of Paris Fashion Week. The singer/actress attending the show was a given since she’s currently the brand’s global ambassador. She donned a Dior yellow plaid dress with a white blouse, black tie and heels and the Lady Dior handbag. The look feels like a callback to the dress Cher Horowitz wore in the classic 90s hit film “Clueless” in the best way possible. This look is also extremely relevant with the rising popularity of black ties as an accessory and the preppy aesthetic as a whole. No matter what outfit she is wearing, JiSoo emanates the aura of a goddess.
4. Suzy - Dior
A post shared by 숮이 💄💅👡👠🎀👙🌂👗🌂🎀💋💌 (@skuukzky) Like JiSoo, Suzy is another beloved visual in K-Pop and actress rocking looks from Dior. Suzy teased on her Instagram her cover for the April 2022 issue of Marie Claire Korea in collaboration with Dior’s Spring/Summer 2022 collection. The photoshoot shows Suzy in a plethora of preppy and retro apparel and accessories from the luxury brand. While the clothes are beautiful, the real surprise is Suzy’s baby bangs, a hairstyle she has rarely worn. Suzy always knows how to make a statement with her fashion and rightfully deserves her title of the “Nation’s Crush.”
5. IVE’s YuJin - Versace
A post shared by 안유진 AN YUJIN (@_yujin_an) Former IZ*ONE and current IVE member YuJin has always been praised for her visuals and talent. Now, she’s gracing our screens as one of the faces of Versace’s new Spring/Summer 2022 campaign. The post on her personal Instagram shows the idol wearing a bunch of pieces from the brand, such as a black minidress and a monogrammed halter top. To top it all off, she’s holding a Versace purse in almost every picture. At the end of the Instagram post is the promotional video of YuJin strutting around the grey and black set in all of her looks. YuJin showcases her fierce visuals and modelling abilities in this video and this is hopefully the start of a modelling career for the young star.
6. BLACKPINK’s Lisa - CELINE
A post shared by LISA (@lalalalisa_m) The third BLACKPINK member making an appearance on this list, Lisa is no stranger to collaborating with brands like CELINE and Chivas. During Paris Fashion Week, Lisa took to Instagram to share her day while exploring the ‘city of love.’ Rocking loose black pants and a long-sleeve tee, Lisa’s style tends to lean more towards a casual and street style aesthetic. What we all could not help but notice was the rectangular black handbag she had around her shoulder with “CELINE” in bold lettering. That is in fact the “Matelassé Monochrome”, one of the newest handbags from the brand that is slated to be released sometime later this year. Lisa has both stunned us with her beauty and made us all wonder if we’ll someday ever be rich enough to afford designer handbags.
7. GOT7’s Mark Tuan - Yves Saint Laurent
A post shared by Mark Tuan (@marktuan) GOT7’s Mark Tuan has stayed busy this year, working on his upcoming solo projects. He also, like many of the previously mention idols, was invited to attend events for Paris Fashion Week. In the gorgeous capital of France, Mark attended the YSL Fall/Winter 2022 show by Anthony Vaccarello in a mature and rugged look. Mark is wearing leather pants, a patterned blazer, and a burgundy shirt with most of the buttons undone - all pieces from YSL’s Spring/Summer 22 collection. On his Instagram post, Mark shared clips from the actual show itself, where the models walked right near the Eiffel Tower. Fashion-forward idols like Mark sharing their experience attending high-fashion shows is so gratifying for fans to see.
8. Girls’ Generation’s TaeYeon - Louis Vuitton
A post shared by TaeYeon (@taeyeon_ss) Girls’ Generation’s TaeYeon is one of the most respected and recognizable idols in the industry. From being the leader of the “Nation’s Girl Group”, an active solo artist and the upcoming MC for “ Queendom 2”, she’s done it all in her career. It’s completely fitting for someone of her status to be seen with designer items. In March, the ‘INVU’ singer posted to Instagram her holding and wearing the black “Moonlight” ankle boots from Louis Vuitton. The boots are on full display as she casually models them in these laid-back photos. With her stunning visuals, TaeYeon looks like a Louis Vuitton model ready to stomp on the runway in these boots.
9. IVE’s WonYoung - Miu Miu
A post shared by 장원영 WONYOUNG (@for_everyoung10) Another former IZ*ONE and current IVE member appearing on this list, WonYoung was recently chosen as one of the Korean celebrities to represent the Italian fashion brand, Miu Miu. Headed by Miuccia Prada, Miu Miu has always been a relatively popular brand but attention skyrocketed after the micro-mini skirt and cropped sweater look went viral - as we saw last month on Girls’ Generation’s YoonA. WonYoung being chosen as a model fits in line with the feminine and youthful aesthetic of the brand and she’s been wearing outfits exclusively by the brand this month. While WonYoung did wear the aforementioned cropper sweater, let’s bring our attention to this all-black beaded two-piece set from the Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2022 collection. With a Miu Miu purse in hand, WonYoung is embodying a rich and luxurious princess in this outfit. It’s no doubt WonYoung is making a name for herself as a talented performer and fashionista of the 4th Gen.
10. BLACKPINK’s Jennie - Chanel
A post shared by J (@jennierubyjane) Rounding out the list, are we honestly surprised BLACKPINK’s Jennie is making an appearance here? She is the ultimate definition of an “it-girl” in the K-Pop and high fashion world. At the Chanel Womenswear Fall/Winter 2022 show, Jennie made headlines for her stunning monochrome look from Chanel Creative Director Virginie Viard’s collection. We all know Jennie is the global ambassador for the brand so it was inevitable she’d be in full-Chanel for Paris Fashion Week. For the show, she wore a black puffer coat, a tweed bustier, shorts, white lace socks, and platform sandals. The gold accessories and a micro-Chanel purse accompanying the look are the cherries on top. Jennie captures the feminine and elegant vibe of Chanel in this ensemble, which proves why she is the perfect global ambassador for the brand. There is only one thing in the world we can all be certain about - Jennie will always bring sophisticated and elevated looks no matter where she goes.
