Actress Ko Hyun-jung showcased a singular fashion sensibility at this Paris Fashion Week, effortlessly moving between Valentino’s official glamour as an ambassador and her own refined personal style.

By contrasting the meticulous styling she presented as the star of the show with the relaxed looks she wore while roaming the streets of Paris, she perfectly embodied the multifaceted character of high-end fashion that the 2026 spring/summer season is aiming for.

For the official show, Ko Hyun-jung created a look defined by a structured silhouette that spotlighted Valentino’s precise tailoring and artistic details.

At the venue, she exuded an overwhelming aura in a polished look that revealed the brand’s identity as an ambassador; on the streets of Paris, however, she opted for a more fluid styling rooted in “effortless chic.” Whether casually throwing an oversized black jacket over bold red wide-leg pants or layering a pink knit slip, her free-spirited styling eased the formality of the occasion and made Ko Hyun-jung’s own sensuous individuality stand out even more.

First, her opening look captures the essence of “smart casual,” staying true to the basics while making clever use of accessories. Paired with the classic combination of a crisp white shirt in a substantial fabric and black slacks, a bandana-style scarf lightly tied at the neck adds a bright, upbeat rhythm to the overall look.

Finished with comfortable sneakers and a shoulder bag, the styling strikes both the ease of travel and the poise expected of an ambassador, clearly demonstrating the practical elegance that 2026 is moving toward.

The most striking of Ko Hyun-jung’s Paris street looks is, without a doubt, the pairing of an oversized black jacket with vivid red wide-leg pants. She added a point of interest by layering a long-sleeved striped shirt under an otherwise potentially plain tailored jacket, while the red trousers she chose both lighten the heaviness of black and stylishly express 2026’s mega-trend, the ‘red point.’ It neatly represents her style—formal yet never losing its free-spirited, artistic mood.

In a moment captured at an outdoor café, a feminine layered look that reflects Ko Hyun-jung’s signature girlish sensibility stands out. She completed a cozy yet lovely mood by wearing a muted pink knit slip over a clean white long-sleeve top. Bold black sunglasses added a hint of intellectual tension to a look that could otherwise appear too soft, presenting a model example of the ‘new romantic’ style that can be put to chic use in everyday life.
