See j-hope's best style moments from his Hope on the Stage era

Vogue Singapore22-04-2025
In the early days of 2023, the realms of K-pop and fashion seemed to propel forward faster than ever. A large part of it, attributed to the luxury fashion houses sweeping up the members of one of the biggest groups in the world—BTS. Week on week, there were announcements and concurrent front row appearances for the fashion shows at the time; Jimin for Dior, Suga at Valentino, and soon after, j-hope for Louis Vuitton. Out of the septet, the latter was the only member who was continuing a relationship already previously nurtured, considering the group's prior ambassadorship with the maison. And yet, he came in swinging still; his playful and dynamic sense of style on full display when the announcement was dropped. View this post on Instagram

Part of the brief? Think a terrific range of eclectic outerwear options, chromatic ensembles—which always feels like a special ode to Hope World —and a strategic mix of elevated streetwear. In an instant, the moodboard was written, and the mega star solidified his sartorial smarts and experimental tendencies, one which he has consistently developed over the years, even through his time in South Korea's mandatory military service. Yet in recent months, the style mover has been taking it one step further—with the outfits for his Hope on the Stage world tour that kicked off earlier in February.
Whilst his more casual ensembles on stage features plenty of baggy denim, varsity jackets, oversized graphic tees and one's trusty Jordans—all hallmarks of his streetwear leanings—it's his ardent love for kitschy accessories as well as bold, vivid designs that truly cast him in his own league amid the rest of the BTS members. And whilst there is plenty of LV mixed into the ambassador's stage looks, it's the chromatic joy of his opening look which really seals the deal: a modular rotation of five different crimson ensembles custom made by South Korean designer Juntae Kim.
As we gear up for j-hope's upcoming two-night stop in Singapore, we chronicle the best style moments from his Hope on the Stage era so far. @uarmyhope

Jenna Ortega is a gothic siren for the premiere of Wednesday in London

We've seen the beauty realm evolve in a multitude of ways over the past decade. Long gone are the days when celebrity beauty ops would be dedicated solely to the red carpet with techniques used often obscured from the public eye. We've fast moved on to an aspirational age of social media: how-to tutorials by the professional artists themselves, established content creators sharing their own cosmetic hacks and even full-face routines by some of the biggest A-listers. And we've all emerged the better for it. It's undeniable—the likes of Instagram and TikTok have given us all a space for unabashed self-expression. And for some, an artfully made-up mien or a customised change of talons are the perfect canvases to do so. Pop culture has had significant influence in the sphere. Experimentation is abound, with novice creators and popular personalities alike attempting to ace a make-up look that is all the rage or share a thematic one-off look for others to recreate. Then begs the question: how do we sieve out the best of all? Make-up trends surely begin somewhere, and learning from our seasoned celebrities is never a bad place to start if you're feeling overwhelmed. Vogue Singapore might be of help to you on that front—with our monthly curation of captivating beauty moments, courtesy of our favourite faces from Hollywood, the K-pop scene and more, just for that fresh jazz of inspiration. In the month of July, we're seeing splashes of summer across the board. Think butter yellow tips and sun-kissed cheeks à la Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner for their new product releases for Rhode and Kylie Cosmetics respectively. Wet, wavy tresses ruled the roost too—as exemplified by the duo as well as the inimitable Nana, who's been killing it amidst her press tour for an upcoming film. The seasonal return of Wednesday also welcomes Jenna Ortega back to the fore—and she's already doing the most with her gothic siren transformation at the London premiere. Below, see the celebrity beauty highlights we spotted this month. Getty 1 / 12 Lola Tung It's Belly 3.0. Or well, Lola Tung on the press tour of The Summer I Turned Pretty, with cheeks softly contoured to perfection. Glossy lips in tow, it's her sculpted up do that catches our attention most; a marriage of suitable poise and youthful spunk one should expect from the young star. @xgofficial 2 / 12 Cocona of XG Cocona is the gift that keeps on giving. The buzzcut is going nowhere, only this time it's riddled with flirtatious edge: a scarlet lip stain on the side of her head. Bonus points for that coffin manicure too. Getty 3 / 12 Jenna Ortega She's a gothic siren. There's no getting over Ortega's look at the premiere of Wednesday in London: of wavy, waist-long hair worn in a low half bun, bleached brows and a dark lip to contrast her softly-freckled complexion. @haileybieber 4 / 12 Hailey Bieber Butter yellow reigns for the season. Case in point: Hailey Bieber's manicure amid the launch of her newest Rhode campaign. Her flushed skin and casual braids are screaming of a summer day in the sun too. @jin_a_nana 5 / 12 Nana A permed wet mane matched to moistened and puckered lips. This Nana look is but one of many—but it falls in cool girl territory instantly. @theestallion 6 / 12 Megan Thee Stallion For the first Pete & Thomas Foundation gala, Megan Thee Stallion brought out a look of sophisticated elegance; hair styled back with but a single strand, the light falls on her sculpted mien, signature lip liner look and that glorious wing liner finish. @somsomi0309 7 / 12 Jeon Somi We're re-entering our wet look era. For her upcoming Chaotic and Confused album release, Jeon Somi dials it up for a number of high-octane looks. This mermaid-esque one in particular has her tresses damn and scrunched, and 3D tips that are sculpted like an aquatic dream. @iamcardib 8 / 12 Cardi B Haute couture season is equivalent to Cardi B's personal runway. And it always starts with a theatrical moment at Schiaparelli; her strongly-shouldered moment matched to a side-swept, blunt bob and embellished mien. @faye 9 / 12 Faye Peraya At the Bvlgari event in Singapore, Faye Peraya is a picture of pared-back elegance. To let the jewels shine, her matte mien is elevated with an eye-catching wing and warm brown tones. To finish her look? A soft brick lip and pale pink nails. @xgofficial 10 / 12 Chisa of XG The girls of XG will never disappoint. All round applause for this operatic blush outing, and the graduating shimmers that begin from the inner corners of her eyes—spectacularly painted outwards into a cascade of sequins. @ninapark 11 / 12 Greta Lee Leave it to Nina Park to deliver a masterclass in perfectly-matted skin, and a dusting of blush on Greta Lee's cheeks—all for a look of natural beauty. @kyliejenner 12 / 12 Kylie Jenner Wet tresses left to fall over her shoulders, Kylie Jenner joins in on the summer fun with coral-flushed cheeks and a pristine French manicure.
