GRAZIA Singapore’s April 2024 cover star Jessica Jung is no newbie. After more than 17 years in the world of entertainment, the former member of Girls’ Generation has proved that she is not just a singer. Despite her beginnings in the idol world as a part of the iconic K-pop girl group, also known as SNSD, Jessica truly started making a mark on the world when she departed from the nonet in 2014.
Since then, Jessica has been fervently pursuing her different passions: music, fashion, writing, you name it. The Korean-American multihyphenate founded her own fashion label Blanc & Eclare, in a move that was considered extremely bold at the time. Even now, if a K-pop star debuts a fashion label, you know they’re serious about establishing themselves in the sartorial world. Below, we take a look at Sica, as she’s affectionately regarded, and some of her best outfits from her Instagram account over the years.
Jessica’s got glam for days. With her hair pulled back into a slick bun, we can’t keep our eyes off her mini skirt. This embellished skirt, paired with the simple oversized white button-up and black tie, screams casual glam. Perfect for a fun night out with your best girl friends, don’t you think?
There’s nothing we love more than a dramatic fashion moment. In this floor-length red gown, Jessica’s bold take on white-tie dressing is one for the books. Elegance and sophistication are the name of the game here, and we think, no, we know that Jessica is killing it. Plus, the little bows on the gown are just sending us into coquette heaven right now.
Sica sure knows how to bring glamour back to the world on rails. While recently on a cross country train from Singapore into the lush landscapes of Malaysia, Jessica slipped into a slinky, sequined number to match the elevated dining cars of the Belmond train.
When Jessica adds some edge to her look, it comes in the form of Miu Miu. Here is how you can elevate your everyday style, with a tip or two from Ms Jung. With this Miu Miu look, the devil is in the details: the loose threads and exposed brassiere makes for a cool-girl look without appearing like you’re trying too hard.
Jessica is a living doll, that’s for sure but even dolls need to let their hair down once in a while. When the singer was on a much-needed vacation last June, she showed us how to perfect shore-side style with ease. We can’t get over how her ballet-slipper pink silk dress perfectly matches the sunset hues of the beach. Plus, with her long hair naturally flowing in the wind, this laidback vibe is tempting us to book our next Bali getaway ASAP.
There’s no doubt that Jessica is on the forefront of fashion, and a fashion girlie like her is sure to be setting the trends, not following them. Even before big bags were starting to make their comeback, the former Girls’ Generation member was seen rocking super oversized bag silhouettes. Keeping the rest of the outfit more understated, the singer opted for a sleek full-black look.
This Barbie knows how to glitz it up. Jessica wore a baby pink sequined dress that was covered in crystals, for a glamorous nighttime fashion statement, courtesy of Valentino. Armed with pearl accessories and her signature brown locks, the novelist is giving Party Barbie with this outfit.
A double-denim look may be hard to pull off for some, but Jessica shows us how it’s done. At the Rolling Loud music festival last year, the star wore a handkerchief style dark denim top with a pair of light wash denim jeans. If you’re wondering how she managed to achieve a Canadian tuxedo sans tackiness, it’s because both the top and bottom pieces share the same level of saturation, despite being of different washes.
Jessica typically prefers a monochromatic, full colour look, but when her heart so desires, it’s clear that she can rock a rainbow fit with the same flair. When the 34-year-old was having a fabulous girls’ night in Paris, she opted for a beaded mini dress. Nothing like a fun ladies’ night with flowers, champagne and dressing up.
While Jessica doesn’t often stray away from feminine silhouettes, when she does, you can be assured that the look will be a win. Here, Jessica opted for a big oversized black blazer, paired with knee-high socks, a Givenchy purse and chunky mules. Our favourite detail from this look? The embellishments all over Jessica’s socks that add a touch of sparkle.
