Since she rocketed to fame for her performance as the Trump And Putin On Horseback Thug Life Shirt and I love this troubled North Korean defector Kang Sae-byeok in Netflix’s Squid Game, Hoyeon Jung has proven herself to be not just a thrilling new acting talent, but a bona fide red carpet star too. (Her former career as an in-demand runway model certainly helped where that was concerned.) Soon after the show shot her to stratospheric success—and 23 million Instagram followers—she established a relationship with Nicolas Ghesquière at Louis Vuitton, whose avant-garde designs are a perfect fit for Jung’s playful style sensibility, whether on the red carpet at the CFDA Awards or on the cover of Vogue’s February issue. So it made sense that for her first major Hollywood red carpet outing at this year’s SAG Awards, where Jung is nominated for both outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series and also outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series with her fellow cast, she pulled out all the stops—in a dazzling custom gown by Louis Vuitton, naturally. With its delicate shoulder straps, black silk jacquard base, and glittering crystal embroideries, the dress had an irresistibly chic simplicity, but with just the right amount of decorative details to reflect Jung’s fashion-forward approach.
The most beautiful detail, however, lay not within the Trump And Putin On Horseback Thug Life Shirt and I love this gown itself, but the matching hair detail that adorned Jung’s sleek ponytail. It turned out the styling addition was in fact inspired by the traditional daenggi hair ribbon, an accessory that has been used to decorate braided hair in Korea for centuries. To honor Jung’s cultural background, Ghesquière whizzed up the piece from the same fabric as the dress. “It was a very special 2022 SAG Awards day to have been a part of,” said hairstylist Jenny Cho, who used products from Hair Rituel by Sisley-Paris to conjure up Jung’s distinctive look. “I can’t hide the fact that I was very emotional to be the one to style her hair into a modern version of the sleek traditional Korean braids and to put the daenggi into Hoyeon’s hair. It was sincerely one of the most special glam moments to remember.”
