The “no bra” trend has made a bold statement in K-celebrity fashion, with stars like Sunmi going shirtless under jackets and (G)I-DLE’s Soyeon wearing dresses with daring cut-outs. Among these trendsetters, veteran actress Kim Hye Soo has long stood out, showing that confidence and style are timeless.
Kim Hye Soo, who debuted in the 1986 film Kambo and won “Best New Actress” at the 23rd Baeksang Arts Awards, has enjoyed a remarkable career spanning decades. She has appeared in numerous films and series, including Disney+’s Unmasked and the crime film Smugglers, and hosted the Blue Dragon Film Awards annually from 1999 to 2023. Fans have always looked forward to her awards show appearances, eager to see her bold, form-fitting gowns that embrace the “no bra” aesthetic.
At the 2023 Blue Dragon Film Awards, Kim Hye Soo drew attention in a Zuhair Murad Lame Deep V-Neck Long Sleeve Gown. The golden gown featured a cinched waist that highlighted her curves and a plunging neckline that added a daring touch. This ensemble echoed her 2013 Blue Dragon gown, an even more audacious take on the “no bra” style, reinforcing her long-standing influence on red carpet fashion.
Although she did not win “Best Leading Actress” in 2023, Kim Hye Soo was honored with the “Special Achievement Award,” marking a fitting conclusion to her hosting role. Her fearless approach to fashion, consistently embracing the “no bra” trend since the award shows in 2009 and 2011, positions her as a true pioneer. Kim Hye Soo continues to inspire younger K-celebrities and fans alike, proving that elegance and daring style know no age limits.
