Safe and Boring K-star Fashion Trend Continues at 2017 Grand Bell Awards Red Carpet

There was a whole lotta solid primary colors and not a whole lotta creativity at the fashion rundown of the 2017 Grand Bell Awards (Daejong). White was the predominate color of choice for the ladies gowns, and the non-white ones all went with black, blue, and even one red. I also noticed more than ever the glossy too much BB cream spackled faces, making the dull fashion even worse because what am I supposed to want to look at. Yoona‘s strapless mermaid ball gown in metallic pattern ornate fabric on top with tulle inserts on the hem won the dare to be different award but wasn’t the best look for her since she’s so willowly. Kim Sarang went for white but was so statuesque and radiating womanly beauty she pulled it off. Actress Ji An went for a modern hanbok that just made her chest ginormous, which may have been what she was aiming for lol. For the men, Jo In Sung‘s velvet tux was a nice change up to the sea of equivalent classic tuxes.

  • Geez, it's like Korean celebrities either shop in the bridal fashion section OR the tasteless fashion section. And like I said before the "not dewy but greasy make-up"-look needs to go NOW. I can't believe this look has been holding up for years now.

    No idea who the young lady in the strapless black mermaid dress is but while it's safe and boring, she is making it work.

  • Song Kang Ho looks really good.

    The modern hanbok looks like underwear in one of the historical films with erotic scenes. It didn't work as far as I'm concerned.

    I like SYJ and think she looks great.

  • Those are some of the most plainest, ugliest and prom dress-y dresses I’ve seen in a while. What tf is wrong with Korean stylist? Don’t these celebs have any say in their red carpet fashion? Do they ever even look at other countries’ red carpet fashion? You’d think some big name fashion houses would want to sponsor Korean actresses and actors at red carpet.

  • Is there an unwritten rule in korean entertainment that gowns must be boring with little to no color? Its not just this red carpet but every red carpet, gala event or drama awards. Every event has almost similar dress code and styles year after year after year. There must be an inside rule we don't know of!

  • The only mildly (and I say that generously) interesting dress was Yoona's.

    Who's the hottie under Yoona's second pic?

  • I don`t expect anything from Korean red carpet events anymore. If you`ve seen one, you`ve seen all. Who stole the colors?

    • Yoona's was my choice for OTT actually. The top part is nice/ok, but the fussy skirt is awful. And the top paired with those earrings are much.
