For K-Pop singers who have to captivate audience’s attention in a few short minutes, stage costumes are often as important as their dance performances.

The stage costume is a significant factor, especially for female K-Pop idols and girl groups. They put a lot of effort and time into adorning themselves. Female idol stars’ fancy accessories, special makeup, and daring costumes always catch the audience’s eyes.
There is one female idol and two K-Pop teams that have been receiving hot responses to their stage fashion: 2NE1, Miss A, and Hyorin from Sistar. Let’s get some fashion tips from their stage looks.
2NE1’S FREE-SPIRITED COSTUME

2NE1 has been sweeping the music charts with its new song ‘I Miss You’, proving their power in the K-Pop world. This time around, 2NE1 members chose not to go with their signature strong, “bad-girl” hip-hop look. Instead, they mixed and matched various luxury fashion items from brands like Saint Laurent Paris; a dress and sweater combination was used express each member’s individuality and different style. Dara and Minzy wore unique printed cardigans while Park Bom and CL matched their plaid items with a mini dress, making their feminine style more “street”.
MISS A’S SEXY COSTUME

One of the hottest female K-Pop idol groups around at the moment is Miss A. The group has been dominating the stage with its “Hush” performance. The girls wore cropped tops and hot pants, which are a common “girl group stage look”, but this time the members tied shirts around their waists, which accentuated their “S-line” bodies. To get this look, try Stylenanda’s denim mini skirt. It has a unique design that looks like a real shirt tied around the waist. Its denim sleeve and round-cut skirt also make one look slimmer.
HYORIN’S ALLURING COSTUME

Ranking first on Billboard K-Pop Hot 100 Chart with her solo song “One Way Love”, Hyorin from Sistar has gained the title of “K-Pop’s Beyoncé” with her sexy performance and powerful voice. Hyorin’s stage costume is as daring and sexy as her song. Her loose-fit sweater glittered under the stage lights; she emphasised her slim, healthy legs in uber-short shorts. From another show, she wore a see-through wrap skirt over hot pants. You can recreate this feminine look in a more wearable fashion by wearing the wrap skirt over jeans and long coat.
