Girls’ Generation’s YoonA, renowned for her flawless beauty and iconic presence at various red-carpet events, has once again made headlines. This time, her appearance at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in Paris has sparked a mix of reactions among netizens.
For the prestigious event, YoonA donned a striking strapless pink gown by Monique Lhuillier, paired with Roger Vivier platform sandals. She completed the look with silver accessories and a classic pulled-back hairstyle.
Netizens’ opinions on her ensemble, however, were sharply divided.
Mixed Reactions from Netizens
Many felt that YoonA’s makeup and styling team missed the mark:
“It looks somewhat tacky; they should have dressed her up better.” “I’m not even a fan, but I’m disappointed. They should have done better; she went to Cannes. The hair, makeup, and outfit are all mid.” “It looks tacky…I heard she attended with a jewelry brand, but the jewelry is so ugly. Even if her hair, makeup, and outfit were better, it wouldn’t look like that, but it’s just a mess.” “The hair, makeup, and outfit make her look so old and strange.” “They really need to change her makeup and stylist..especially the hair.”
On the other hand, some netizens praised her choice, emphasizing her elegance and unique style:
“Wow, how can that hard-to-pull-off hair look so pretty…” “Wow, she looks like a total queen.” “The dress is hard to pull off, but she chose well!” “How can she look that pretty with that hairstyle!”
The Outfit Breakdown
YoonA’s choice of a Monique Lhuillier gown showcased her ability to embrace bold fashion statements. The vibrant pink hue and strapless design were complemented by the elegance of Roger Vivier platform sandals. Her silver accessories added a touch of classic glamour, while her pulled-back hairstyle aimed for simplicity and sophistication.
A Call for Change?
Despite the mixed reactions, a recurring theme in the comments was the call for YoonA to revamp her styling team. Many netizens suggested that a different approach to her hair and makeup could enhance her natural beauty and better suit high-profile events like Cannes.
“They’ve been talking about changing her makeup and stylist team for years; they really need to change it.” “It could have been prettier if they did a more pure style concept like Han Sohee. Instead of a vibrant pink, they should have gone lighter.”
Final Thoughts
Fashion is subjective, and YoonA’s Cannes look has certainly generated a lot of buzz. Whether you loved her outfit or think it could have been better, there’s no denying that YoonA continues to be a fashion icon who isn’t afraid to take risks.
