Fashion Faceoff: Good Vibes with IU, Kim Hee-ae, and Jihyo vs. Fashion Missteps with Kim Ji-eun and Solar

YTN Entertainment reporters are back with their ‘Y-Ranking’ fashion corner, where they delve into the fashion choices of celebrities over the past week.

Good ① – IU

• Reporter Gong Young-joo: IU flawlessly pulls off a cute and pure white mini dress. Despite covering her arms, her fashion exudes personality and sensibility, avoiding any feeling of stuffiness.
• Reporter Oh Ji-won: IU and white dresses usually go hand in hand, and this time is no exception. She chose tones that complement her elegant and clear image. The short length also proves to be a fantastic choice for her petite figure.
• Reporter Kim Sung-hyun: IU successfully captures attention with her immaculate top dress, radiating innocence and charm. Her clean and neat coordination without any excess captivates everyone at a glance.

Good ② – Kim Hee-ae

• Reporter Gong Young-joo: The clothes received the stamp of ‘Kim Hee-ae Red.’ Elegant, sophisticated, and beautiful. The subtle sheer fabric on the top adds a divine touch.
• Reporter Oh Ji-won: Kim Hee-ae effortlessly carries a look that is both elegant and refined. She adds a spoonful of boldness with the recent trend of sheer fabric, which feels luxurious without being overwhelming.
• Reporter Kim Sung-hyun: The combination of sheer blouse reminiscent of traditional Korean attire and subtle blue pottery is impressive. Overall, the outfit exudes an Eastern nuance, making it unique.

Good ③ – Jihyo

• Reporter Gong Young-joo: A fail-safe, basic matching that cannot go wrong. She sensibly enlivens an outfit that could be monotonous with cuff sleeves.
• Reporter Oh Ji-won: A look that many young people would want to emulate. It incorporates current popular styles such as short tops and wide pants. The addition of gold buttons and elaborate cuffs enhances the overall sophistication.
• Reporter Kim Sung-hyun: A well-suited outfit that fits comfortably into a nicely dressed but not overly polished airport fashion. The casual and comfortable atmosphere, akin to a date look, is charming.

Bad ① – Kim Ji-eun

• Reporter Gong Young-joo: Despite taking on charismatic roles in dramas, there seems to be a discomfort in this androgynous attire.
• Reporter Oh Ji-won: While many female stars are attempting the mannish look lately, not everyone pulls it off successfully. Kim Ji-eun’s mannish look seems somewhat awkward, especially with a fit that appears as if a child is wearing her father’s clothes.
• Reporter Kim Sung-hyun: A classic combination of a white shirt, black slacks, and a tie. It’s a boyish and clean-cut coordination, but it feels awkward. Some changes in hairstyle or makeup might have alleviated the discomfort.

Bad ② – Solar

• Reporter Gong Young-joo: Oh, this is not it. The style of the clothes is outdated and doesn’t suit Solar, and the matching of the clothes itself is not great.
• Reporter Oh Ji-won: The cute and lively Solar seems to have disappeared, replaced by a somewhat shabby appearance. The blouse full of wrinkles, an office-look style skirt that doesn’t seem to match, and an overly flashy bag – it’s excessive.
• Reporter Kim Sung-hyun: The wrinkled top is both uncomfortable in fit and design. Along with a skirt that seems to disregard body shape and shoelace decorations on shoes that look like ankle straps, it all feels too mismatched.
