In August, Wonyoung made history as the first Korean artist to be named a global ambassador of the French jewelry brand and stunned as she represented the luxury brand at Paris Fashion Week.

Wonyoung arrived at the FRED event wearing an off-the-shoulder corset top with a high-low skirt for a youthful, classy, and trendy look. She paired the look with beautiful diamond jewelry from FRED’s Force 10 collection.

Even in low-quality videos from the event, Wonyoung served high-quality visuals. Netizens praised his stunning visuals and noticed a touching addition to her outfit that night.

While she wore FRED rings, earrings, bracelets, and a necklace, in her hair, she wore a traditional Korean hairpiece.

Wonyoung wore a $360 USD sterling silver Korean Binyeo, a traditional hairpin meant to help keep a bun in place. It can also be used as an ornamental piece.

The Binyeo was in the shape of a phoenix, which during the Silla Dynasty (57 BCE – 935 CE), was a shape only permitted to be worn by women in the royal family. This meaningful choice brought Wonyoung’s “princess” nickname to life.

Netizens on a popular Korean forum found the hairpiece. They praised Wonyoung for incorporating the Binyeo into her look for the night, hoping to see her in traditional Korean hanbok soon.
