Over the weekend, Italian maison Valentino held an exclusive pop-up event in Seoul, to celebrate their Fall/Winter 2025 collection. The glitzy event, situated in the trendy neighbourhood of Seongsu, brought together some of the biggest names in Korea. From girl groups Illit and Ive to Hoshi from Seventeen, the pop-up was a star-studded affair. The glitterati, of course, turned up in Alessandro Michele’s creations for the season, featuring adorable felines, clashing textures and mismatching prints.
Beyond the guest list, the pop-up embraced Michele’s signature theatrical nature to the fullest—complete with mirrored walls, vibrant photo booths and screens with the aforementioned felines on display.

Yunah from Illit wore a polka-dotted headscarf (a classic Michele-style creation) at the Valentino event in Korea, and we’re obsessed—summer style inspiration, maybe? And in keeping with the collection’s furry feline theme, fellow Illit member Moka wore a Japanese-style makeup look, featuring anime lashes and a striking pink blush. Meanwhile, Wonhee kept things casual, sporting a green t-shirt from Valentino’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection for her adventure around the pop-up space.
Ahead, get a closer look at Valentino’s pop-up event in Seoul through the eyes of our favourite Korean celebrities.
