K-Pop Idols Killed It During Milan Fashion Week

by

As a seasoned observer of the K-Pop world, I must admit that these idols are not only mastering the art of music but also setting new trends on the global fashion stage. From Hoshi’s edgy Diesel look to Momo’s stunning blonde bob at Onitsuka Tiger, these stars are making a name for themselves beyond their musical careers.

2021 has seen a significant blend of K-Pop culture and fashion, with idols gracing almost every important international fashion event.

This month, K-Pop sensations like Jisoo, Felix from Stray Kids, and Lee Know have created quite a stir at Tommy Hilfiger’s show, while Dahyun of Twice made her runway debut in the Michael Kors event during New York Fashion Week. Before Milan Fashion Week even begins, it’s clear that Korean pop stars are making a significant mark on the global fashion scene.

Just as the previous Milan Fashion Week from earlier this year featured numerous celebrities, a multitude of K-Pop idols have shone brightly in the spotlight at various recent events.

Jin, the oldest member of BTS, made his debut as Gucci’s official global brand ambassador at their recent show. This role was officially announced for him last month. He joined Hanni from NewJeans, Lee Jung Jae known for his role in ‘Squid Games’, and Korean rapper Jay Park within the ranks of Gucci’s ambassadors at this event.

Stray Kids’ ambassador, Hyunjin, attended Versace’s fashion show in Milan. Designer Donatella Versace expressed her affection for the singer by posing with a mini plush toy of Hyunjin’s character and their latest album. Recently, Donatella shared a video on social media showing Hyunjin visiting her home for a special fitting session related to Stray Kids’ upcoming world tour.

ATEEZ member San attended Milan Fashion Week, specifically Dolce & Gabbana’s weekend event. Remarkably, this was his debut at MFW, yet he seemed completely comfortable throughout the show and its subsequent afterparty, even pausing to snap a picture with music legend Madonna during the festivities.

To see the K-Pop idols who attended Milan Fashion Week, check out the list below.

    Jin (BTS) at Gucci

    After completing his military service this summer, Jin, who is known as BTS’s oldest member and affectionately called Worldwide Handsome, has been keeping quite busy. Recently, he attended the Gucci Spring Summer 2025 fashion show, which was not unexpected given that he was appointed a brand ambassador for Gucci last month. Dressed in a stylish brown and maroon outfit, Jin accessorized with a silver Gucci key necklace and a silver Gucci logo necklace, making him look absolutely stunning.

    Hyunjin (Stray Kids) at Versace

    It’s safe to assert that Stray Kids member Hyunjin has been embraced by Versace since he became their global brand ambassador in 2023. At the event, the 24-year-old showcased his inner rockstar vibe with a patterned top and black necklace. A heartwarming photo shows Hyunjin holding hands with Donatella Versace. For the designer’s afterparty, he donned a long red jacket over a black turtleneck.

    San (Ateez) at Dolce & Gabbana

    25-year-old Ateez member San made his first appearance at Milan Fashion Week by attending Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring Summer 2025 fashion show. Earlier this year, he turned heads at their Alta Moda show with a bold, architectural outfit. For the event, he chose a sleek, all-white attire, creating a striking contrast to his all-black suit at the brand’s afterparty.

    Karina (aespa) at Prada

    At Prada’s Spring-Summer 2025 women’s fashion event, Aespa’s leader Karina, who is 24 years old and now a brand ambassador for the luxury label, exuded elegance in a black gown. This wasn’t her first time attending a Prada show; she had also been present at their Men’s Fall-Winter 2024 event previously.

    Enhypen, the popular boy band, exuded elegance and sophistication as they graced Prada’s Spring-Summer 2025 women’s fashion event. Given their role as brand representatives for this luxury label, it was fitting that they were present at the show.

    Earlier this year, the group had a conversation with THR about the development of their music. As Jay, one of the members, explained about their recent album, “Romance : Untold”, they are embarking on a new phase for Enhypen, and he believes it will serve as a significant milestone that will unlock fresh opportunities for them.

    • Jaehyun (NCT) at Prada

    At the Prada’s Spring/Summer 2025 women’s fashion show in Milan, NCT and NCT 127 member Jaehyun chose an elegant all-black outfit. His stylish choice complemented his freshly unveiled platinum hair. Interestingly, Jaehyun had previously attended Prada’s Spring/Summer 2025 men’s fashion show in June, sporting a denim on denim style for the event.

    About a month ago, Jaehyun discussed his debut solo album, “J,” with The Hollywood Reporter. He expressed, “I aimed for this album to have a timeless quality, so that even as years go by, listeners could still enjoy it.

    17-member group Hoshi donned a trendy, edgy outfit for Diesel’s Spring Summer 2025 catwalk event in Milan. The setting, adorned with denim remnants, reflected Diesel’s dedication to sustainable practices in manufacturing (as stated on an Instagram post, the set was designed to emphasize their focus on circularity). This year, the 28-year-old singer joined forces with the Diesel brand as an ambassador. Having recently completed a main act performance at Lollapalooza Berlin, Hoshi and fellow band members are now readying themselves for an upcoming global tour.

    • Momo (Twice) at Onitsuka Tiger

    At Onitsuka Tiger’s Milan fashion show, Momo from the band Twice sported a fresh, striking blonde bob hairstyle. This 27-year-old entertainer opted for an all-black ensemble, which appears to be popular among idols during Milan Fashion Week. Momo is getting ready for an upcoming album named Haute Couture, a fitting title since it features her and the other Japanese members of Twice, Sana and Mina, in their subunit called MISAMO.

    Hanni (NewJeans) at Gucci

    At Gucci’s recent event, NewJeans member Hanni showcased a stylish ensemble that embodied effortless coolness. The 19-year-old adorned a pair of trendy, loose-fitting jeans with a crop top, scarf, and a sleek black handbag. As an ambassador for the prestigious fashion brand since 2022, Hanni, who hails from Australia, has been representing the luxury house’s style.

    Jungwoo (NCT) at Tod’s

    NCT’s Jungwoo, who is part of NCT 127 and DoJaeJung, showcased a stylish autumn ensemble at Tod’s Milan Fashion Show. At 26 years old, he chose to wear a trench coat with relaxed fit jeans as his outfit of choice. As an ambassador for the brand, Jungwoo had also attended their previous Milan event earlier in the year.

    Yeji (Itzy) at Dolce&Gabbana

    Itzy’s head, Yeji, made a striking declaration at Dolce&Gabbana’s Spring Summer 2025 show with her captivating, dramatic attire. The 24-year-old drew inspiration from classic Hollywood glamour, donning a veil that concealed her face and sporting bold red lipstick, complemented by an all-black outfit. In the meantime, Yeji and the rest of Itzy are readying themselves for the launch of their upcoming album titled “Gold”, which will incorporate fresh renditions of songs from their previous album.
