10 Best Dressed Movie Stars At Korea's Oscar Night, From Son Ye-Jin To Kim Hee-Ae
Son Ye-jin crash landed onto a spot in our list of favourite looks from the Baeksang Arts Awards 2020
We love red carpets as they allow us to see the glamorous side of our favourite celebrities - one that don't really get to see on screens. Last night, South Korea hosted the 56th Baeksang Arts Awards, which has been referred to as the country's equivalent of the Academy Awards or the Oscars.
Ahead, we've rounded up our favourites looks from the evening, which included Crash Landing On You's Son Ye-jin and The World of the Married's Kim Hee-ae. Now let us know: which celebrity had your favourite look?
The star of hit series Crash Landing On You came dressed to impress with a get-up that we can see her character Yoon Se-ri wear. Son sported a slinky Ralph Lauren champagne slip dress embellished with sequins to accentuate her fair skin. She finished the glitzy look with diamond drop earrings.
The Girls’ Generation member went for a striking red dress to present the Best Screenplay awards with fellow actor Go Kyung-pyo. The asymmetric neckline was paired with a bow shoulder detail for extra visual interest before she finished it with delicate accessories. She wasn’t afraid to show off her toned gams with a high slit too.
Can you tell that Kim Hee-ae of The World of the Married is 56 this year? She went feminine with a soft pink dress with a unique asymmetric cape shoulder detail. Our favourite part of the outfit, however, was the chunky, statement crystal-encrusted necklace and earrings.
Unlike her edgy style in Itaewon Class, Kim Da-mi went for a softer look with a white dress. The outfit featured translucent panels juxtaposed against ruffled details that gave the overall look a blend of hard and soft.
While Han So-hee narrowly missed out on the Best New Actress win for her role in The World of the Married, she definitely deserves a prize for being one of the best-dressed celebrities of the night. We loved the contrast between the structured brown fabric and sheer black layer as well as the judicious use of jewellery to let the dress shine.
If you haven’t noticed, white dresses were the preferred look for the night. And Seo Ji-hye managed to add her own spin to it. Shedding off the boss-like looks she wore in Crash Landing On You, Seo opted for this angelic number that exuded both class and sophistication.
We can’t stress how important the right piece of jewellery can serve to elevate a look. Such was the case for Hyena’s Kim Hye-soo. Her simple black dress and white blazer is nothing new, but the Bvlgari necklace took the cake and made the look nothing short of spectacular.
Less is more for IU, who was in the running for the Best Actress award for her role in Hotel Del Luna (she didn't win). She wore a silver dress from Gucci Spring/Sumer 2020 collection and went bare with accessories. We actually like this pared-down look, from the outfit, slightly blushed lip to the straight glossy hair.
It just turned to summer in South Korea and Parasite's Cho Yeo-jeong was ready to celebrate the warmer weather with a resplendent penny yellow dress. The pilgrim collar and poufy skirt also elevated the simple-looking dress into a red carpet stunner.
Pretty in pink, the dress of Itaewon Class' Kwon Nara turned the feminine shade on its head with the halter-like neckline and the pearl embellishing. Letting the beautiful gown do all the talking, we love how she kept her accessories simple and minimal.
