It was a big year for our girl Kim Go-eun who, in the past year alone, starred in one of the year’s most memorable dramas, graced countless magazine covers, and endorsed several brands—all in the middle of an ongoing pandemic.

Undoubtedly one of this year’s most recognizable in the Korean entertainment industry, Kim Go-eun’s many transformations never fail to make us go wow. For someone’s who seems to be constantly in the public eye, she always manages to make every appearance exciting. Whether she’s on- or off-screen, The King: Eternal Monarch actress is one of the faces we loved to watch this year! Her devil may care approach to style is refreshing; plus, all her hairstyles are just effortless. A cool girl through and through, Kim Go-eun definitely out-styled many celebrities in 2020! Here, we gather her most memorable looks in the past year. Which one’s your favorite?

Messy hair, don’t care. Kim Go-eun literally lets hair hair down in this photo shoot with Elle Korea.

No ‘suklay’? No problem. Only truly gorgeous women like @ggonekim can serve the “just-got-out-of-bed” look without looking like they just actually got out of bed.

It was a busy April for our girl as she promoted ‘The King: Eternal Monarch’ and served some of her most beautiful looks to date. For a palette that will go well with different outfits, Kim Go-eun’s go-to no-makeup makeup is key.

Flawless skin, effortless beauty. When you’ve got lips as beautiful as Kim Go-eun’s, we’d totally rock the me-but-better look every single time!

At the press conference for ‘The King,’ she was also selfie-perfect with just-pinched cheeks and just-bitten lips. We absolutely love how effortless this girl is!

Of course, we can’t forget Kim Go-eun’s turn as Lee Tae-eul in ‘The King’ where she was a go-getting police officer. Even from afar, you can see those beautiful eyelashes!

The series put her in the toughest situations, but girl still looked fire! Her wavy hair and parted bangs in this scene is a style we can all wear!

Plus, this tied-up alternative. We can’t get over how au naturel her makeup is, too—so fresh!

Pale, but make it fashion. As the face of Chanel J12, the 29-year-old beauty is prim and proper with barely a trace of makeup and sleek, combed long hair.

Wearing silly eyewear and party hats for our birthdays should be mandatory! How cute was Kim Go-eun during her birthday in July?

Ahhh, these curls! It would’ve been awesome to see this new look in its entirety, but we take what we can get. Masks were iconic (and necessary) in 2020, anyway.

Blushin’ beauty, drippin’ in Chanel. We’re living for this ultra-clean, slick low ponytail finished off with a big bow. And that drunk blush, oh my.

Yes, we know that this isn’t the proper way to wear a mask. But you can count on Kim Go-eun to somehow make the chin mask work on Soo Jin in ‘Untact.’

When a woman wears her hair in a bun, you know she means business. Add Kim Go-eun’s chopped bangs, and you know she’s out to conquer the world with her cute and quirky style.

These parted micro-bangs and tied-up waves are made for lookin’ at. Even when she’s off-duty, Kim Go-eun is the coolest girl in the room. It’s those crystal specs, too!

Though this list is by no means arranged in a particular order, we’d go as far as to say this is the best look we’ve seen on Kim Go-eun this whole year.
