Award Show Fashion: 48th Baeksang Arts Awards

Finally a Korean red carpet that isn't littered in black dresses! Well there were still some, but there was lot a more color this time around.  Let's take a moment to oogle at some fashionable Korean actresses...

Kang So Ra left her awkward Dream High 2 character behind and showed up in this sexy blue leopard printed Salvatore Ferragamo dress

Hong Soo Ah's floral dress was perfect for the season, though I wished she had put a little more effort into her hair

 Han Hyoju flesh toned dress was jazzed up with some silver accents but they didn't help to accentuate her body at all

There is always someone who wears lace to a red carpet event and this time it was Hye-eun Kim in this maxi black lace dress with sleeves

Kim Min Hee's white lace embroidered dress does nothing for her figure

Kim Ah Joong stunned in this black Stella McCartney dress with a gold metal belt

Kong Hyo Jin made me yawn with the amount of effort she put into this look

Lim Soo Hyang's safe and simple strapless dress could've been played up more with bright accessories

 Park Shin Hye was the only lady in red at this awards show and she stood out fabulously accessorizing with a white clutch

Suzy knows how to dress her age  in this sweet cream dress with a bubble skirt; unlike most Hollywood actresses who all can't wait to grow up

 This outfit reminded me of a baby nun for some reason...

Uhm Jung Hwa played up her open neckline with a large gold statement piece, but with such an overwhelming piece she could've left the dangling earrings for another time

Yoo In Na voluminous navy blue tulle dress didn't manage to swallow her up completely

Afterschool's UEE kept her look sweet and youthful in this white embroidered and ruffle dress

Um, so are there a lack of hairstylists in S. Korea or something?

Award Show Fashion: 47th Baeksang Arts Awards

The 47th Baeksang Arts Awards were held yesterday; South Korea's version of the Golden Globes, where they award the best in film and television. If you've been following my blog a while, you'll know that the Koreans rarely step out of their "black dress comfort zone", so I was really surprised to see the pics from this show's red carpet. Plenty of white, red and even purple, this is by far one of my favorite Korean red carpets ;)

Tang Wei, who won best actress (and she isn't even Korean! you go girl!) also won my award for Best Dressed! Her gorgeous multi colored Escada gown caught my attention immediately
Kim Ah Joong wore the red version of Janice Man's dress from the HK Film Awards. I actually prefer it in the red, the bright color looked perfect on Ah Joong!

Moon Geun Young was quite the trend follower in a sexy cutout dress, I just love the flowiness (if this isn't a real word, I'm making it one! lol) of this dress.

I just had to include Big Bang's T.O.P. because he's amazing and he's as into fashion as I am haha, but mostly because he'e freaking H.O.T.! He could've opted to go in just a plain black jacket like all the other guys but he chose this purple printed jacket and black bow tie, gotta give him props for always stepping outside the box! Saranghae oppa! ;P

Ha Ji Won (from Secret Garden) skipped the red carpet and went straight to show in this black/white ensemble. Check out her guns.. her arms guys, I'm talking about her arms! lol

Yoo In Na (from Secret Garden) walked the red carpet in this chili pepper red gown with a sweetheart neckline, accessorizing with a small black clutch. Kim Nam Joo also decided to wear red but in a pantsuit and I must say, she looked extra leggy in this outfit. Definitely a plus on the assymetrical look on the jacket and black accessories.

Lee Min Jung wore a simple dress in a super bright fuschia and matched it with her fuschia and black clutch. although the color was eyecatching, the design was not.

Park Shin Hye opted for this royal blue Salvatore Ferragamo less the extremely plunging neckline that was on the runway model, which I thought was a nice touch since it's a well respected award show ;P

Hwang Jung Eum decided to bare her midriff (also in Salvatore Ferragamo) but in a tasteful manner by keeping every other part of herself fully covered. [Which reminds me that I gotta do some crunches today, right after I have myself a delicious Klondike bar! ;P ]

Seo Young Hee waved to the photogs in a simple strapless dark gray dress

Jo Yeo Jeong decided to be the girl who went to an award show in just a simple black dress, I would've given her some credit but the girl didn't even wear any jewels or do something to her hair! If I had the chance to walk on a red carpet and get photographed, I am gonna put some damn effort into it!

Min Hyo Rin went in black as well but at least her dress has some interest to it such as a pattern created by the sheer fabric

Nam Gyu Ri in a gorgeous v-neck tiered ruffle dress that I wish I had gone to prom in :( I just love the look of it and the banded in waist gave it some definition.

Hong Soo Ah looked young and fresh in this pale yellow dress with an embellished collar and bust.

Go Hyun Jung in a nude Donna Karan, sparkled but didn't shine as much as the other ladies.

Park Min Young was one of the five ladies to go in a white dress, her's featured a sweetheart neckline and chiffon ruffles on the top

Only Suzy can pull off this sweet bubble skirted dress and pair them with flashy violet pumps featuring floral appliques

Han Hyo Joo in a very unflattering tiered ruffle and lace Nina Ricci gown. The dress just looked too big on her and made her look wider that she really is on top.
Shin Hyun Bin looked like she missed a fitting as her bright white gown looked loose and like a window curtain she just wrapped around herself =_= Park Ha Seon in a hanbok, I am all for ethnic dresses but the ruching on the skirt of the dress looks a bit all over the place and unflattering. Not a fan.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend (and the Americans, a happy long weekend, whoohoo BBQs!)

Let me know below, who caught your eye and who had you gouging them out at this red carpet event?

Incheon Korean Music Wave Festival 2010

There was a lot of metallic and legs (and my TaeYang :-*) at the Incheon Korean Music Wave Festival yesterday as the best of the Hallyu performed at the annual event. After seeing all of these girls exposing their toned skinny legs made me not want to have ice cream today... lol

The ladies of After School wore marching band inspired tops and gold hotpants. I was more interested in the white peeptoe ankle boots with the chain detail!

The girls of KARA in sexy coordinating outfits and over the knee leather boots

The SNSD/Girl's Generation group kept it young and sporty in mini letterman jackets and short shorts.

Son Dambi performed 3 numbers in an overly ruffle top and a super short pleated skirt

Hurricane Boa rocked this sparkly gold and black outfit, leaving me to wonder where can I get that awesome blazer?!

Can't wait till they air this on Saturday! Which performance are you looking forward to the most?
