TWICE’s Dahyun Walks the Runway at Fashion Week: Netizens Find It Hard to Praise Her

On the morning of September 11th (local time), the Michael Kors show during New York Fashion Week captivated fashion enthusiasts. A highlight was the runway appearance of TWICE’s Dahyun, the global ambassador for the brand, marking her first experience as a fashion model. Although she did not serve as the opening or closing model, her midway appearance garnered significant attention as she “got lost” among the professional models.

Dahyun graced the runway in a brown off-shoulder mini dress from the Michael Kors S/S 25 collection, showcasing her delicate shoulders and radiant white skin. Born in 1998, she styled a sleek low ponytail and opted for light makeup to accentuate her sharp, edgy visuals.

However, Dahyun’s performance drew mixed reviews, with some audience members finding her expressions and demeanor stiff and lifeless. Critics noted that her figure did not align with high fashion standards, suggesting her presence felt more appropriate for attending rather than walking in the show. Her overall impact on the runway was noted to be weak, especially when compared to her seasoned counterparts.

The feedback on Dahyun’s catwalk was generally labeled as “bland,” with online chatter highlighting her stunning skin and bright visuals but overwhelmingly critiquing her high fashion capabilities, which appeared lacking when placed next to professional models.

– “She looks so stiff standing next to the models.”

– “Pretty forgettable, huh?”

– “She seems better suited for game shows or maybe comedy sketches. In the group, I like her because of her bright face.”

At previous Michael Kors events, while her outfit choices were generally seen as acceptable, her overall presentation failed to create a lasting impression.
