While most stars arrived in glamorous gowns, these three celebrities drew attention for doing the exact opposite.
The 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards delivered its usual mix of dramatic gowns and luxury fashion moments, but some of the night’s most talked-about looks came from stars who skipped dresses entirely. Actress Lim Soo-jung, former volleyball star Kim Yeon-koung, and actress Seol In-ah all appeared in sleek black suit styling at the ceremony, instantly standing out among the sea of traditional red-carpet looks.
And online, fans could not stop talking about it.
Black Suits Became One of the Night’s Biggest Fashion Trends
While the Baeksang Arts Awards are often associated with elegant dresses and classic feminine styling, this year several stars embraced tailored black suits instead creating a sharper, more modern red-carpet atmosphere.
Lim Soo-jung especially caught attention with a black tuxedo-inspired look paired with a bow tie, presenting a sophisticated image completely different from the soft and elegant style she is usually known for. Many viewers described the styling as one of the actress’s most refreshing fashion transformations in recent years.
Meanwhile, Kim Yeon-koung brought her own confident energy to the trend, choosing a clean black suit accented with a tie detail that emphasized her charismatic presence.
Seol In-ah also drew praise for her sleeveless suit-inspired outfit, which blended chic minimalism with a slightly androgynous mood.
Seol In-ah’s Styling May Hint at Her Next Role
Fans were especially interested in Seol In-ah’s outfit because of its connection to her upcoming project ‘My Guilty Human.’
The actress is reportedly playing a character who disguises herself as a man in the series, leading many viewers to feel that her Baeksang styling subtly reflected the atmosphere of the role.
That crossover between fashion and character image quickly became a discussion point online.
Why Fans Loved the Looks
Social media reactions praised the stars for breaking away from predictable award-show styling.
Comments included:
- “The suits stood out more than the dresses.”
- “Each person made the look feel completely different.”
- “This was one of the coolest red-carpet moments of the night.”
The response reflects a growing shift in Korean celebrity fashion, where tailored and gender-fluid styling is becoming increasingly popular on major red carpets.
And this year at Baeksang, black suits may have stolen the spotlight.
