Dakota Johnson and Taehyung
BTS's V, also known as Taehyung, attended Vogue World 2025 on Sunday in Los Angeles. The singer made a striking impression with his look at the star-studded fashion event, making history as the first-ever K-pop artist to attend the spectacle. He was seated beside American actress Dakota Johnson, and pictures of the two posing together quickly went viral online.
Taehyung looked as stylish as ever, bringing his culture to Hollywood through a custom outfit designed by Korean designer Jaybaek Couture. He wore a grey coat tied at the waist with a red norigae-inspired belt, taking cues from the royal garments of the Joseon era. Underneath, he wore a matching grey shirt and tie, paired with loose trousers and black shoes.
For the evening, he opted for a simple grey suit from Dapper and accessorised with an antique watch imported more than 120 years ago, dating back to King Gojong's reign. During the show, he was seated beside Dakota Johnson, who looked stunning in a baby pink gown with a deep, netted neckline. She left her hair open and completed her look with matching footwear. Later, he took a front-row seat alongside Cynthia Erivo, cementing his presence among the fashion and film elite.
