Karina, winning with her silhouette… adding a touch of radiance with luxury jewelry

Seoul is moving from spring into early summer, and K-stars are using their press tours to set the season's fashion tone. Three recent appearances from Kim Tae-ri, Han Ji-hyun and aespa's Karina show how different the spring look can be on a Korean red carpet.

Kim Tae-ri leaned into soft color at the press conference for tvN's "After-School Teacher Tae-ri" (Banghagu Taerissaem). She wore a tweed dress in a bright, mixed pastel weave, cut close at the waist and stopping just above the knee. The shape was clean and feminine without being flashy.

The tweed itself carried the look. Its texture felt rich on its own, so the styling stayed quiet around it. Kim skipped statement accessories and chose simple gold-tone jewelry instead, picking pieces with thin, careful lines rather than anything bold. The restraint matched the polished, ladylike image she often plays to.

Han Ji-hyun went in a more trend-driven direction at the press conference for MBC's "Your Brilliant Season" (Challanhan Neoui Gyejeol). Her outfit had a French-classic feel that fits her usual style.

She wore a ruffle blouse with frill detail running down the front and a soft blue stripe pattern. Over it, she layered a cardigan with basic buttons and a small heart logo, which kept the feminine mood without going too sweet. The bottom half was a goat suede leather skirt with a wide belt, color-matched to the cardigan. The full look could read as a wedding guest outfit or an elevated office look.

aespa member Karina took the cleanest, sharpest route at the press conference for Netflix's "Mystery Investigation Squad 2" (Miseuteori Susadan 2). She wore a short white dress that showed off a slim, toned line.

The dress, from a brand referred to in the source only as "J," used a white floral lace fabric and was finished with bead detailing that caught the light around her face. She paired it with tone-on-tone white platform Mary Jane pumps to keep the look elegant rather than girlish.

The final detail was the jewelry. Karina wore pieces from luxury brand "B"'s Quattro Classic line, including stud earrings built around the brand's four signature codes. She layered a ring from the same line for extra shine.

Together, the three looks point to where Korean star styling is right now. Pastel tweed for a soft spring feel, French-classic layering for trend appeal, and clean white minimalism with luxury accents. Different choices, same season, and all three lean on texture and restraint rather than loud statements.
