BTS group member Kim Taehyung, lovingly known as V, made history on 26 October when he became the first-ever K-pop star to set foot at Vogue World 2025: Hollywood. The glamorous event was hosted at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, and V was a guest of Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, which is another feather on his global career cap.
Displaying his signature poise and cultural confidence, V made a breathtaking entrance in a custom gray JayBaek Couture jacket beautifully merging Korean heritage with contemporary Hollywood glamour. His look featured hanbok-inspired cutting, a jade norigae pendant, and a 120-year-old Gojong-era pocket watch, offering a discreet yet powerful nod to Korea’s royal heritage. The merging of contemporary couture and ancient symbolism was one of the most talked-about fashion moments of the evening.
V sat in the front row, surrounded by Hollywood stars Cynthia Erivo and Dakota Johnson, and drew attention from international media and followers. Throughout the evening, he was spotted warmly conversing with Anna Wintour, solidifying his growing influence in the fashion world.
