2021 Most Stylish K-Actresses
Lee Hye-ri
When we first saw Lee Hye-ri’s cameo in ’Record of Youth’ late last year, we immediately knew that we will be seeing more of her this year! Deemed as ’Nation’s Little Sister’, Hye-ri will be returning to the small screens with a leading role in ‘A Terrifying Cohabitation’. She will be acting as a university student alongside Jang Ki-yong who will be starring as a smart professor in the series. This definitely means that we will be seeing fresh collegiate looks from her! A plaid ensemble and a statement leather tote bag perhaps? We can’t wait to find out!

Lee Da-hee
Starring as a persistent detective in the upcoming series ‘L.U.C.A.: The Beginning’, Lee Da-hee is bound to don fierce femme fatale looks and possibly a huge amount of hardcore black leather and coat ensembles in the series. There's definitely something about crime and fantasy shows that always keeps us on our toes in terms of narrative and style.

Lee Da-hee
As a style chameleon, there’s no question whether she could pull off a sprightly colored ensemble or a monochromatic look because her cover shoot for Grazia Korea proved that she can absolutely do both. This tweed and leather look is no doubt our favorite look from her on print!

Lee Da-hee
Aside from her designer-filled looks in her past series, Da-hee’s personal wardrobe is also full of Burberry, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Chanel. We’re sure enough that we will be seeing more of her personal, on-screen, and strong red carpet looks this year.

Multi-talented actress Park Shin-Hye is on a film and TV show streak after her films ‘#Alive’ and ‘The Call’ from last year. Now we’re so ready to see her act her heart out in another mystery genre with the series ’Sisyphus: The Myth’. As an elite warrior who travels back in time, we can expected multi-dimensional looks from her that will easily depict the future and the past. We’re definitely talking about the use of sleek ensembles and timeless silhouettes.

It’s no surprise that a stunning muse like Shin-hye has a cover shoot with Harper’s Bazaar China in June 2019. Sporting a crisp white dress and a pair of silver stiletto boots, Shin-hye looked so divine!

Park Shin-hye
And yes, how could we ever forget her graceful fashion moment in the Valentino pop-up store in Seoul. If this is how Shin-hye turned up on every single fashion event she attended last year then we can expect nothing less but the same high fashion looks this year.

Bae Doona
Bae Doona’s beauty and style are truly out of this world that’s why it’s only fitting to see her act in a futuristic sci-fi series alongside Gong Yoo. ‘The Silent Sea’ revolves around an exploration team in a quest to find a mysterious sample in an abandoned research station in the moon. Apart from the hyper-realistic space suits that we will be seeing in the series, we’re excited to see if Bae Doona will wear more Louis Vuitton looks in the show.

The number of times Bae Doona has graced Louis Vuitton runway shows are proof of her influence and friendship with the House’s creative director Nicholas Ghesquière. We’re most excited about the possible ensembles she will be wearing in red carpets later this year. Did we mention that Gong Yoo was a Louis Vuitton ambassador too?
