Stunning or Overwhelming: Suzy’s Full Couture Look at Valentino Show in Rome

I’m going to need some additional eyeballs and points of view to decide whether this outfit works or not. Suzy went from attending a movie premiere in Korea to attending a couture fashion show in Rome within the span of days, her busy and jet setting lifestyle on full display even as she doesn’t currently have an acting or idol side comeback. I found her stunning at the movie premiere for The Piper, healthy and radiant from romance and dressed in a chic elegant shirt and pants ensemble. I do get why some things she’s styled too old for her age but I thought that look didn’t yet cross that particular line. But this dress may just have.

Suzy was in Rome this week for the Valentino show and the grand opening of the new flagship store, wearing of course a dress from the most recent Valentino fall/winter 2015 collection. It’s best described as patchwork prairie meets biker hippie, maybe heralding a trend for fully covered as opposed to showing too much skin. I think Suzy’s hair and makeup is spot on, the red lips and defined eyes important to look dramatic for the occasion and not get overwhelmed by the dress, but I’m leaning towards finding the dress both too busy and not suited for Suzy in particular. But then again, some dresses photograph really dull but look stunning in person so maybe this one is that? What do you guys think?

If anything, Suzy wearing this dress reminds me of Yoon Eun Hye wearing a Dolce & Gabbana dress at the Missing You press conference, which I thought was dowdy and looked like she was wearing grandma’s curtains sewed into a dress, and others claimed it was glorious since it was a famous couture outfit and all. Just because it’s couture doesn’t mean it looks good, but sometimes the look calls for being impactful rather than beautiful. Still feeling very torn about this particular dress on Suzy, though kudos for looking really comfortable to wear.

  • When I look at the picture, the dress is all I see..not Suzy. It sure is a stunning dress...but its like the dress is wearing Suzy and not the other way around. Stunning Suzy + that stunning dress just dont match up well. My humble opinion. Hehe.

    • Agree, the dress is stunning, but not on Suzy. It worked well on the model, but did nothing for Suzy. I think this is the kind of dress that would suit someone slimmer and taller.

  • she looked stunning.. (her make up dan hair style) but i think the dress's still too long for her.. ^^

  • Looks way better on the model. Why is the bow on suzy so limp? It looks like some extra fabric. And also, with such a print dress, her hair wld have looked better up in a ponytail or bun. She also has this extra black sash around her waist. Basically she has too many things going on on an already busy looking dress.

  • Dress is wearing her. Maybe if the bottom two flounces were removed and the midriff peeped through it would be better.

    • You're so right! That's exactly the fix, if the dress was shorter then it would be perfect for Suzy's age and smaller stature compared to the lithe European model wearing it at the show.

  • Her coordi failed her. The dress was too long for her ~1.66m height. The coordi should've have picked one of the shorter dresses from the FW 2015 collection or shorten her dress a bit. The FW 2015 had some sort of transparency theme going on so most of the dresses were quite revealing. I understand about not showing too much skin, but covering up the middle part with the extra material made the dress look dowdier. Really, keeping the dress as is wouldn't have shown much. I agree with @Rey about her hair pulled up would have looked better.

    • Just going to correct you here.. Suzy is not 1.66cm but 1.70cm.. she is quite a tall and big girl height wise

      • International models are usually close to 180cm so the dress is still a bit long for her. She should have worn it as it is - sheer on some parts. Then it would look less old fashion on her. Styling problem...
        The dress looks fitting on the model so I can't decide whether it's big on her or she is "big" ...

  • She doesn't look horrible, but it's a very heavy dress. Not everyone can pull it off. She looks better is lighter, fresher things.

  • Yoon Eun Hye's Missing You conference dress looked fabulous on her because she got the hourglass figure to pull it off. Despite the intricate pattern, that cut was rather simplistic and hugged YEH's figure to perfection.

    Not going to comment on Suzy's ensemble since i agree with other commenters. Yeah, basically too much going on, too covered up and too much hair around her neckline. Suzy got swallowed up by the outfit and ended up looking matronly--a la Park Shin Hye.
