Ejae just made her Met Gala debut, and honestly, the theme couldn’t be more perfect for her. Note: said theme is Costume Is Art (with a “Fashion Is Art” dress code), and considering Ejae’s been one of the most consistently cool red carpet dressers of awards season, it’s a match made in heaven.
Ejae arrived on the red carpet wearing a sculptural silver gown with a high neck, beaded details, and matching hair embellishments.
The K-Pop Demon Hunters star recently talked to Harper’s Bazaar about her love for fashion, saying, “I would say I feel most confident when I’m blending styles: I love wearing masculine clothes in a bit of a girlish way.” She also noted that “it’s very collaborative work with my incredible creative directors, Jeffrey Jin and Theo Song. It’s always so much fun working with them since they have such a clear and sharp vision, but also always listen to what I’m comfortable with and what I feel good in.”
As for her inspirations, Ejae says, “Rihanna is such an icon, I always look to her when it comes to being avant-garde. But also, I find style inspiration in cities. When I come to Paris, I love people-watching. It’s so cool and different from New York; the city has its own aesthetic and I get inspired by that. Cities like Seoul, Tokyo, New York and Paris have all influenced my style.”
