In photos from Korean media outlets, Jennie’s visuals truly shined, and the idol looked like an actress from the “Golden Age” of Hollywood with simple makeup, accessories, and style of dress.

While it was a different style from the night before, it was still classic and elegant.

When the photocall happened, netizens couldn’t get over Jennie’s visuals. In particular, many pointed out how much better Jennie looked in the different and unique outfit and how shocked they were after realizing it wasn’t a Chanel look but was Shushu/Tong.

Yet, while some people loved the look a lot more than the Chanel outfit she’d worn on the red carpet the day before, others still weren’t a fan of the idol’s styling, explaining that the dress looked good because of Jennie’s visuals.
