To the death!

This past weekend, at comedian Pak Kyeong-rim’s wedding, it was on, girlfriends. The battle of the minidresses, or as they’re called in Korean – the “one-piece.” And all the stars and starlets showed up looking pretty fab and fresh, and nearly everyone was riding the trends, as stars and their stylists are wont to do: cool minidresses and clutch purses, for the most part.

And a note to the photographers – how can you judge the fashion without the shoes?! Hello? Grrr. I’ve linked to the original articles in which the pictures appeared at the bottom of each section.

Jang Na-ra was looking quite gold and glamourous, I must say, and stop looking coy! You know you look good, girl. But Hyo-ri! I don’t know what to say about the dress – kinda “ehh” – but the dead-cream-butterfly-on-the-black-clutch-bag…I’m not feeling it. Doesn’t she look like she’s kinda apologizing with her eyes?

Han Hyo-ju and Hwang Bo-ra were looking good, and I love Bo-ra’s long bag. Shiny, shiny! Lee Su-yeong dressed to…umm…not really stand out. What can one say?

Hyeon Yeong looked kinda scared and like she forgot to bring any purse or accessories, but otherwise looks wedding-worthy; Jo Jeong-rin and Sol-bi look like two flower girls and also fairly uninteresting, but added to the overall mini-dress action.

Newly-reconstructed Yangpa looked crumpled-but-cool, with her riveted metal clutch looking quite robotronic. Cha Hye-rin, on the other hand, looked quite refined-yet-non-descript, and also sported her requisite bit of “futurism.”

Kim Ah-joong was looking, well…pretty uncomfortable with herself, as well as her quirky (and short!) miniskirt and weird open-chested sweater-thing; she looks like she’s thinking about making a dash for the door, and makes me uncomfortable. Jeong Seo-hee looked like she had thrown the top part of a weird suit over her casual outfit and grabbed a random bag on the way out the door. I wish I could have seen her shoes – and that the photographers at Newsen knew what they were doing, or the photo editors, at any rate.

Kang Hye-jeong wins the booby prize for not knowing that you’re supposed to dress up for star-studded events, especially people’s weddings – guess she didn’t get the memo. Pak Shin-hye just looks…frumpy. Too many competing frills up there, I dare say.

I’d say that the overall winner – despite rocking black bows on three separate places on her body (neck, purse, and shoes) – for looking interesting, summery cool, and just plain appropriate for a wedding was Jang Na-ra.

I thought that listening to her cotton-candy songs was excruciating (yet somehow addictive) and I never rocked out to her music; but she was looking fly in that her style and personality seemed to match the clothes she was wearing that day.

And I LOVE the bag, girlfriend! (Check out the bag in the first picture at the top of this page.)

One thing I’d like to say to Newsen photographers – could you expose properly with the outdoor shots next time? Most of the photos were so overexposed, you could barely see what anyone was wearing. And since shoes makes the fashion, please don’t leave them out, mmm-kay?
