From a floating pink hanbok-inspired frock to the final bow with Soo Joo Park, it was a fully Korean affair at Seoul’s Dongdaemun Design Plaza, where Karl Lagerfeld brought his traveling Chanel resort collection this season. Among the regulars seated on the candy-colored stools in the front row—Kristen Stewart, Tilda Swinton—were a handful of K-pop stars, who created more red-carpet fuss than even a surprise Gisele spotting. Here, meet five of the famous faces from last night’s show, whose front-row style ranges from over-the-top androgyny to ladylike cool.
1) G-Dragon
The Band: BIGBANG
The Brands: Rick Owens, Saint Laurent, Balmain
G-Dragon is known for his androgynous, changeable style—a tartan kilt and pink fauxhawk one day, prim Chanel tweed the next—and his collaborations with designers like Nicola Formichetti and up-and-comer Hyein Seo. With 4.2 million Instagram followers waiting for each #OOTD, he might be Seoul’s top style influencer.
The Front-Row Look: A lapel-less gray tweed jacket with a black braided hem, worn with a white Mandarin collar shirt and blackout shades. Matching gray pants, cropped at the ankle, and black combat boots with white laces. Surprisingly restrained, save for a camellia and costume jewelry pin—a crystal train, pretzel, and beer stein from Paris-Salzburg—overtaking his chest.

2) CL
The Band: 2NE1
The Brands: Jeremy Scott for Moschino, Tom Ford, Fendi
Not long after Jeremy Scott’s Barbie-themed collection for Moschino debuted in Milan, CL was spotted modeling the hot pink moto crop top and miniskirt—she’s been his muse since the pair first met at a 2009 Adidas photo shoot. As one of K-pop’s edgier female dressers, CL takes risks—Moschino tube tops, Dalmatian-spotted Supreme fleeces—and is never boring.
The Front-Row Look: A black-and-white, fit-and-flare minidress with thigh-high stockings and Chanel’s gun-heel sandals from 2008. Two Chanel minaudières, one perfume bottle, one giant pearl. Several loops of Chanel pearl necklaces, stacks of pearl bracelets on each arm, and pearl-rimmed sunglasses.

3) Taeyang
The Band: BIGBANG
The Brands: Chrome Hearts, Balenciaga, Givenchy
As former bandmates set to embark on a world reunion tour, Taeyang and G-Dragon are all but inseparable—think Tweedledee and Dum, as Dior Homme models. Taeyang tends to go a bit wilder in the hair and makeup department, but both favor the over-the-top, avant-garde style that made BIGBANG an international K-pop sensation.
The Front-Row Look: A fire-engine-red duster coat with chain stitching, worn over a black V-neck tee and jeans slashed at the knees. Black and python ankle boots with pointed toes. Round blackout shades.
