Song Hye Kyo Attends 2023 Met Gala in Custom Fendi Blush Gown with Questionable Braid and Side Bangs Hairstyle

It’s a big back-to-back event for K-actress Song Hye Kyo over the span of the first weekend in May. She won the Baeksang Best Actress Award for the drama category on Friday night then jetted off the next morning. Turns out she was headed to NYC for Monday night’s Met Gala, the premiere event in high fashion. She wore a custom Fendi gown as the brand’s ambassador and honestly it was meh except for the skirt and train. The pale peach/blush color washed her out (and probably would have washed anyone out), the peekaboo nude bra and bustier was unappealing, and her hairstyle was the worst ever. It tried to be different and weird but failed at actually being cool or attractive. Regardless this is a great honor to see a top K-actress at the Met Gala!

  • She's indeed gorgeous as always, yet, it would be better for her to wear that gown for Baeksang Award and wear something more extravaganza for Met Gala. It's THE Met Gala after all *sigh
    Dear hairstylist-nim, eventhough Suzy was superbly nailed that kind of hairstyle at last Baeksang (minus the braid), but definitely it's not for Song Hye Kyo.

  • It baffles me how underwhelming SHK's Fendi looks have been. Her glam team really loves that long side bangs hairstyle on her for some reason. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's just meh. As usual her face carries the whole look.

  • Don’t like her hair too, it elongates her face and hides her beauty. The gown is one of the underwhelming gowns of the night especially for a high couture fashion event. She needs a new hairstylist and stylist. But then again, kim jones or fendi might have a hand in what their brand ambassador would wear for MET but her team could have put their foot down to give her a better outfit.

  • The dress is ugly except in the last photo where SHK standing sideway. The hairstyle is ugly. The make up is idk.

    The same goes with Jennie. She was wearing a vintage Chanel dress yet idk what's wrong that she couldn't pull it off at all. In fact, Jennie looked like she's attending a teenage prom. So much of blinks hyping her for making everything look expensive. The same happened with Rose last year with that silly giant bow plain black dress. What the heck with these kind of looks for Met Gala. They all looked horrible.

    Put them all against Michelle Yeoh, and yeah, you can actually tell who's the real star here.

  • The dress color is awful. But to be honest, SHK can make a sack of potato look good.
    And I personally like her hairstyle.

  • Everytime she hides her cheek with her hair I always think about Keanu Reeves who now sporting facial hair for quite some time already. Thus hiding his aging. Does SHK wear that hairstyle to hide her stiff expression? Or aging? (But I see she does not have wrinkles) I think she wears that hairstyle (that covering her cheeks) for a long time. In The Glory too. Can she be like Jennie that tie up her hair? Wanna see that sometimes.

  • What's the point of having a styling team to end up like this? That dress looks like what a Project Runway contestant came up with for a negligee competition. It makes SHK looks stocky and washed out. What's up with that anime hairstyle? The filters are overkill with Michelle Yeoh in the picture.

    In general, the Korean makeup aesthetic doesn't work on an American red carpet. You just end up looking washed out.

  • Wow, I personally loved it all, the dress, the hair, the braids,🤗 matter of preference, I guess
