On October 26, 2025 (local time), BTS’ Kim Taehyung attended Vogue World: Hollywood at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. He became the first Korean artist to appear at the affair. The fashion spectacle saw him showcase two distinct looks. For his daytime appearance, the Love Me Again singer chose a custom creation by Korean designer Jaybaek Couture.
His ensemble included a long gray overcoat secured with a crimson belt attached with a norigae. The look took cues from Joseon-era royal attire. For the second styling, V opted for a dapper gray suit. Alongside a Cartier one, he also attached an antique pocket watch that was over 120 years old to his coat. It dates back to King Gojong’s reign.
At the event, the K-pop idol was seen with lipstick smudges on his soft cheeks. Moreover, Anna Wintour walked over to greet him, holding his hand as she moved around to meet other attendees.
His seat was positioned just a few spots away from hers. Teen Vogue Director and Vogue’s West Coast, Lisa Love, also came by to personally say hello to him. Inside, V was spotted sitting beside actress Cynthia Erivo and was photographed with Dakota Johnson and Lizzo. His encounters are drawing huge attention online.
