After wrapping up Twice’s 4th World Tour III alongside her bandmates, Nayeon released her highly anticipated mini album IM NAYEON on June 24, marking the first solo debut by any member of the JYP Entertainment girl group. Spearheaded by the title track Pop!, the solo album racked up over half a million preorders, demonstrating Nayeon’s success as a solo artist.
One of the most popular South Korean girl groups, Twice has established a one-of-a-kind sonic identity with cheerful, feel-good anthems, and Nayeon’s Pop! continues in this tradition by merging a bubble gum melody with cutesy lyrics. The song is punctuated by ebullient brass notes and percussion beats that complement Nayeon’s sugary yet powerful vocals. Equally exuberant, the music video alternates between colorful settings adorned with whimsical props such as balloons, lollipops and bubbles. The Broadway-themed MV also draws on retro influences that radiate High School Musical vibes.
Fashion-wise, Nayeon presents a plethora of looks with 14 different sets of outfits that depart from her usual girl-next-door image. She shows off her versatility in color-coordinated sets, music festival-ready glitzy ensembles and fairy-like dresses to name a few. Read on to recreate six standout summer-ready looks from this MV!
Clean-Girl Regencycore
A fashion trendsetter, Nayeon nods to the regencycore trend in an all-white ensemble as she dances in front of a sprawling white mansion. She centers her royal look with a strapless bustier top garnished with corset-inspired details such as tonal piping and an intricate guipure lace overlay. Her sheer lace jersey pants amp up the romantic appeal while balancing the hyper-femme vibes with a wide-leg cut. Puffy chiffon arm sleeves and a rhinestone-embellished body chain complete the outfit.
Fiery Red Monochrome
Nayeon makes sure all eyes are on her by decking head to toe in bright red. She puts together a camisole top with a pointed neck and hem, with jacquard belted mini shorts for a bold, empowered look. She looks effortlessly chic in a mock-neck bolero top with thumb holes. To emanate diva energy, Nayeon seals the look with sleek sock boots and classic red lips. Her new blonde locks pop against the outfit’s overall red palette.
Y2K Disco Dazzle
If you have a penchant for glitter and drama, Nayeon’s resplendent Y2K set won’t disappoint. The South Korean singer channels her inner Mariah Carey in a glam beaded butterfly top with spaghetti straps that criss-cross at the open back. For those looking for more coverage, layer a pink tube top underneath the butterfly top like Nayeon does to dance the night away with peace of mind. Nayeon wears feather-trim denim shorts to go full-on jazzy. Bold glitter eyeliner and silver hair tinsel add extra shine to the party-worthy look.
Dreamy Pastel Pink Style
In a room filled with floating bubbles, Nayeon sits on a hanging bubble chair in a luxe pink ensemble. She exudes a goddess-like aura by donning a strapless shimmery bodycon dress and a boudoir-style silk robe with feathery cuffs. Thigh-high lace-up heels emblazoned with rhinestones elevate her divine look with just the right amount of sass. The glitter and silver gemstones on her cheeks result in a Euphoria-inspired makeup look.
Classy Dopamine Dressing
Summer is all about vibrant colors and Nayeon embraces the striking fuchsia shade that’s trending this season with a co-ord set. Her matching hot pink cropped blazer and mini A-line skirt perfectly reflect her joyful stage persona while giving off mood-boosting vibes. Nayeon contrasts the bright and funky combo with black lace items, namely a flattering bralette and crochet undershorts. A wedding veil headband garnished with faux pearls injects retro flair to her voguish outfit.
Vintage Fairy Folk
In a pool scene with synchronized swimmers, Nayeon appears on a platform in a Tinker Bell-esque fairycore ensemble with a vintage twist. Bubbly Nayeon dons a corset top with yellow ruffles and ribbons draping from the shoulder straps. She incorporates more yellow ribbons by putting on bow-shaped earrings and tying ribbons into her double braids. Finally, a lemon tiered tulle dress with a leg-flaunting front hem and floor-sweeping back hem amplifies the ethereal quality of the ensemble.
