At a high-profile Hollywood event on October 26, 2025, BTS’s V surprised many by arriving in an ensemble that fused deep traditional Korean elements with sleek, modern tailoring. According to The Times of India, his look featured a tailored grey coat paired with reinterpretations of the traditional gat hat. Finally a crimson norigae accessory, signalling both cultural pride and global fashion savvy.
The look: subtle, symbolic and sharply styled
V chose a structured grey over-coat that replaced the expected edgy celebrity aesthetic for something more refined. The coat was paired with a modern version of the gat — the wide-brimmed traditional Korean hat . Along with reconstructed in contemporary materials and scale to suit red carpet proportions. At his waist, a norigae-inspired accessory in crimson draped down, adorned with jade ornaments.
His footwear and lower-body styling were minimal and monochromatic, ensuring the top silhouette and heritage accessories remained the focal point. The result was a look that quietly balanced cultural signifiers with present-day fashion language.
Why this matters in fashion & culture
-
Cultural expression: By incorporating genuinely traditional Korean elements like the gat and norigae — rather than mere “inspired-by” details — V’s outfit serves as both style and statement.
-
Global visibility: As a global pop icon, V stepping out in such a look amplifies the message that culture, tradition and high fashion need not be in opposition — they can coexist on the international stage.
-
Tailoring over spectacle: The cast in a tailored coat rather than overt runway drama suggests that subtlety can carry as much impact as flamboyance in red-carpet moments.
-
Fashion diplomacy: When celebrities highlight heritage through fashion, it goes beyond aesthetics — it becomes a soft-power act, elevating cultural awareness.
