Bae Suzy and Im Yoon-ah unexpectedly became one of the hottest fashion topics at the Baeksang Arts Awards after appearing in the same designer dress — just in different colors.
The two stars attended the May 8 ceremony held at COEX in Seoul. Suzy returned as one of the event’s MCs, while YoonA appeared as an award presenter.
Although celebrity fashion overlaps occasionally happen, it is rare for two top stars to wear the exact same dress design at the same major event. The coincidence immediately became a hot topic online, with fans comparing how each actress styled the look differently.
Suzy chose a soft pink strapless gown featuring a sculpted curved neckline and elegant draped detailing around the hips. She elevated the glamorous atmosphere with feather-inspired diamond jewelry, including a statement necklace and matching earrings. Her long hair was styled to one side, emphasizing a graceful and romantic mood.
Meanwhile, YoonA opted for the black version of the same dress. Unlike Suzy’s glamorous styling, YoonA leaned toward a cleaner and more minimalist approach. She wore her hair in a neat updo, highlighting her slim neckline and shoulders, while accessorizing with delicate jewelry pieces including a simple necklace, ring earrings, and rings.
Despite wearing identical silhouettes, the two stars created completely different impressions through styling and color choices.
Online reactions quickly poured in after photos from the red carpet spread across social media and community forums. Many netizens praised both actresses equally, commenting that each brought out a unique charm with the dress.
Some reactions included:
- Both of them look stunning.
- I wonder how it would’ve looked if they swapped colors.
- There’s no need to compare them — Suzy is beautiful in her own way, and YoonA is beautiful in hers.
The gown worn by both stars was identified as a design from luxury fashion brand Alex Perry, known for its sleek and structured silhouettes.
The corset-style dress features a curved neckline and layered draping details around the waist and hips. According to reports, the dress retails for approximately $2,950 USD, or around 4.3 million KRW.
