MOMOLAND’s Nancy and Nayun
With the rare promotions of MOMOLAND after the only release of CHROMANCE-remake at the
beginning of this year, fans are always looking forward to their public appearances and expecting
to see the girls at their best.
Unfortunately, the stylists didn’t seem to wrap their heads around this idea so well
as in the recent attendance at AAA 2021, Nancy and Nayun were made to wear extremely questionable
clothes that were not only too revealing but also implicitly s*xualization-prompted.
To suit better with the newtro vibe of CHROMANCE, it kinda made sense for the coordies to style
Nancy and Nayun in some uncomfortable clothes like the stiff plastic pink dress and the
thin chromatic top. However, netizens just couldn’t understand why they had to make
both these designs become super sensual that a part of the girls’ chest were revealed.
Since things like this already happened in the past as some netizens referred to the
time MOMOLAND was made to wear extremely tight and short shorts without safety pants, everyone
was even more furious to think of how the stylists were intentionally doing all these
awkward and vulgar cut outs to gain some cheap attention.
Especially with the outfit of Nayun, since her dress was not only too much on the chest
part but also had two deep splits, which ended up exposing her white safety pants both on
the front and on the sides, many said they could feel second-hand embarrassment just
by looking at her.
Some even said that though it would be an insult to the girls but still, they couldn’t
help thinking back to the fits of prostitutes when looking at Nancy and Nayun. However,
most still hoped they wouldn’t feel too bad, particularly because of sexualization
comments, because they knew who was really the mastermind behind these vulgar fits.
IVE’s Ahn Yujin
So, despite the fact that all eyes were on IVE with their addicting debut with ELEVEN,
the stylists still fail to live up to the public expectation by dresing Yujin in this
questionably provoking outfit.
While she was just 18 this year and actually still a minor as 2021 hasn’t ended yet,
the coordies just woke up one day and decided that the highlight of Yujin’s outfit would
be a purple bralette. Yes, you’re not hearing it wrong and though it’s true that Knets
sometimes made a fuss over nothing, this time they had all the right reasons to be triggered
because not only the form of this design was exactly the same as a regular bra, from the
strap, the cups, the underwires, to the side beams but even the slightly silky and shiny
materials were also alike. Frankly, this is a legit bra.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the black top that Yujin wore was also a bad choice
as it made her shoulders more bulky. Even the double belts used as corsets also counteracted
as it made her belly appear bigger while in fact, Yujin had a pretty fit and slender figure.
Though people were trying to not be mean to a several-day rookie as their music and preparation
were obviously good, they still couldn’t help criticizing the stylists' choice of Yujin’s
outfit that day because dressing a minor in such a provocative outfit could easily make
Yujin a target of s*xualization.
They also believed Yujin must have been quite annoyed when being made to wear that outfit
so they could only hope she wouldn’t get too upset, especially when Starship was probably
trying to use her as bait for public attention.
ITZY
Ever since after the promotion of Loco, ITZY seemingly has been caught up in many questionable
fashion moments from their weekly music stages to some most important events like the one
of Burberry.
Since this brand is the house to many iconic designs and extremely posh accessories, many
fans expected ITZY would appear stunning at the event and take all the spotlight. However,
as with high expectations came great disappointment, they were terribly let down when seeing all
the girls dressing in super boring, and probably even ridiculous, outfits for the occasion
that took a significant emphasis on the sense of fashion.
Despite being a gen4 girl group, which basically means that all the girls are in their early
twenties and Yuna is actually only eighteen this year, the coordies somehow made them
look like some mid-age women in super long, loose black trend coats.
What’s even worse is that while Yuna used to receive lots of praises for her admirable
body proportion, the jumbling layers of clothes mixed under the ankle-length coat made her
look so ordinary that had it not been for her gorgeous face, people would mistake her
with any ordinary person walking by.
Then we have Yeji.
Well, apparently the theme of this event was all about praising the mysterious black shade
but despite the fact that there were many ways to dress fancy in black, the coordi still
made her look as if she was going to a funeral with the huge black cape coat, which looked
more like a ancient witch cape redesigned by incorporating to it a modern blazer.
From the side, netizens also noticed how the stylists made the look even worse with the
tight, low-tited hairstyle that exposed Yeji’s hair loss condition that has been going on
for quite sometime due to the extremely bleached and dyed hair.
Then when it came to Ryujin, the stylists went for the completely opposite approach
by not making her as basic and dull like Yuna and Yeji because at the end of the day, she’s
the center and the face of ITZY.
So, that means they did super well with her clothes, right?
Well…not really.
Somehow the stylists still managed to fail one way or another. Instead of making Ryujin’s
hairstyle more in sync and harmonious with such an exotic and out-of-this-world design
of Burberry, they thought it would be a good idea to straighten her layered bob hair.
Probably they were thinking because the dress was full of leather fringes, making her layered
hair mimicking the fringe-ish look would create a harmonious look. However, that turned out
to not be a good idea because firstly, had it been, Ryujin wouldn’t be on the list
now and secondly, because of such a scanty hairstyle and the underwhelming use of accessories
to blow in some of Ryujin’s individuality, the whole look made her more similar to Lady
Gaga rather than a Kpop idol.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the coordies didn’t even seem to bother to give Ryujin
a fitting beforehand to help the design fit her figure better.
You see the lengths of the sleeves? They literally covered her whole hands and made the arms
funnily, disproportionately long compared to her body.
Another detail that people believed clearly showing the lack of ITZY’s stylists’ efforts
and pleasing fashion sense was how they picked the very same boots to style all the members.
According to them, it was kinda boring to see how the coordies were playing safe at
the unnecessary time like this but then went way too extra for some others.
And apparently, by going too extra “for some others,” it will be such a miss to
not refer to the time ITZY appeared at the Louis Vuitton in these irrelevant and cheesy
looks.
Besides the fact that the coordies failed to make the girls appear like a group through
the contrasting and irrelevant choice of colors, netizens believed they should have taken into
consideration more about other factors like materials, shades and the design because it
came quite obvious that Yuna and Lia’s outfits didn’t look harmonious.
Actually, the whole group even appeared to be quite outdated with Yuna wearing a cropped
short-sleeve jacket that belonged to Summer 2008 and a cheesy ruffle pink skirt, Lia wearing
almost the same design but in dark purple, Yeji couldn’t look anymore irrelevant with
a Chinese-inspired top and weird belly cut-out. People also saw how awkward the coordies styled
Yeji because while her upper image was all about that delicate vibe of the mainland,
the lower styling just ruined it all with punky leather trousers and combat boots.
For Chaeryeong and Ryujin, somehow the stylists still went wrong with a basic palette of black
and white, distorting the perfect figures of the girls, making them look way shorter
than usual with those loose and bulky outfits.
A fan even made a pretty sharp point, saying that the gorgeous visuals of ITZY indeed save
their fits a lot because when she tried to cover their faces and just focus the clothes,
she could see even clearer how outdated and amateur the stylings were. They were so bad
that it was impossible for her to tell these were all designer clothes from Louis Vuitton
and were actually worn by some top celebrities of KPOP.
So, do you think these outfits were indeed “fashion disasters” or people were overreacting?
