K-Pop idols are notorious for their jaw-dropping glam—both on, and off, stage. And fans of idols are equally stylish. Whether it’s through dressing up as their favorite performers, or using their style as fashion inspiration, getting glam as a fan of K-Pop idols is a fun way to explore personal style. That’s why “Nail the K-Pop Look” was born. This series uses K-Pop stars as inspiration for nail, and lash, looks that anyone can achieve at a reasonable price. For the first-ever “Nail the K-Pop Look,” we’re taking inspiration from none-other than aespa—a four-member girl group that frequently dominates the stage in bold, other-worldly style.
Who is aespa?
aespa is a K-Pop powerhouse that debuted on November 17, 2020, with their dynamic single, ‘Black Mamba,’ under the legendary SM Entertainment. The quartet consists of members Karina (leader), Winter (lead vocalist), Ning Ning (main vocalist), and Giselle (main rapper). Known for dishing out powerful pop anthems—like their 2023 earworm, ‘Drama,’ aespa continuously flaunts their fierce musical style.
aespa’s New Release & Current Style
On October 21, the girl group dropped their newest EP ‘Whiplash – The 5th Mini Album.’ The overall concept embodies the group’s signature cyber style, as each member chicly shows off confident struts, a series of high-fashion poses, and captivating choreography, of course. However, in behind-the-scenes shots, as well as during promotional activities, the group occasionally strays from their futuristic attire to lean into flowy fashions.
