Celebs are always one step ahead when it comes to fashion -- fashion enables them to present themselves as sexy, as feminine or as any other attitude or identity they like. Here are some photos of Korea’s top fashionistas. Vote for your favorite star.
1. IU
From cute tennis skirts to a vintage bomber jacket, the versatile singer-actress tried many different styles. For the “Infinite Challenge” concert, the star sported a vintage bomber jacket over a striped T-shirt and fishnet stockings to fit into her Matilda character. For a media preview of film “C‘est Si Bon” in February, the singer matched a light-pink sweatshirt with a navy tennis skirt.

3. Sulli
Former f(x) member Sulli is also a rising trendsetter. The 21-year-old, who broke away from the group earlier this year, is currently in a romantic relationship with rapper Choiza. Love probably made her go more feminine, with a white angora sweater and a yellowish silk dress. The starlet also showed off her great fashion sense at the Tory Burch fashion show held in New York in September.

4. Suzy
Miss A member Suzy was also a fashion sensation this year, sporting various stylish items for numerous press events. But the starlet seems to be into monotone these days. Donning mostly beige and black items, Suzy still managed to look stunning. The 20-year-old was recently cast in the forthcoming TV drama “Uncontrollably Fond,” slated to air in 2016, with actor Kim Woo-bin. The show will portray the story of a high-flying and haughty star who reunites with his childhood love, a servile documentary producer.

5. Park Bo-young
Dubbed “Bovely,” actress Park Bo-young, who starred in hit tvN drama “Oh My Ghostess,” showcased various lovely items -- and she just loves her pink dresses! Due to her fair complexion, the pale pink and beige colors are a nice fit for her. Lovely mini dresses are also a perfect fit for her cute, adorable characters in the TV drama and her upcoming film with Lee Kwang-soo, “Collective Invention.”
