The Airport Look That Went Viral
Jang Wonyoung arrived at Incheon International Airport wearing a cream-toned Dior knit top featuring floral and dragonfly embroidery with the Dior lettering, paired with a satin A-line mini skirt. She completed the look with flat shoes and a pink bag, keeping the overall outfit largely white with subtle color accents.
Her long wavy hair and minimal accessories allowed her natural visuals to stand out. Korean media noted her “doll-like proportions” and “K-princess” charm, with one outlet highlighting the way her nose caught the light, comparing it to a “Rudolph reindeer nose”.
She greeted press and fans with a variety of poses, including a hand kiss, cheek heart, and wink. In one widely shared moment, she attempted to make a cheek heart but noticed a bus passing by and looked briefly embarrassed, which fans found endearing.
Dior Show Details
The Dior Spring/Summer 2027 women’s collection show is scheduled for September 29 at 2:30 PM Paris time. Official live streaming will be available for the event. Jang Wonyoung will attend as a guest of the brand.
The Miu Miu to Dior Transition
For years, Jang Wonyoung was closely associated with Miu Miu as a brand ambassador, earning the nickname “human Miu Miu”. In early September 2026, she appeared at a personal exhibition event wearing full Dior for the first time, sparking widespread speculation about a potential brand shift.
At the time, neither Dior nor Starship Entertainment confirmed any new partnership. The full Dior look at that September 7 event was seen as a significant signal, and her appearance at the Dior show now reinforces the possibility of an ongoing relationship with the brand, though nothing has been officially announced.

Background: Legal Action Against Malicious Content
Jang Wonyoung’s Paris trip comes just weeks after Starship Entertainment announced significant legal developments regarding online harassment targeting the IVE member.
On September 9, 2026, Starship Entertainment confirmed that a defendant indicted for distributing fabricated videos targeting one of its artists had been sentenced to imprisonment by the court. The agency also filed additional criminal complaints against individuals repeatedly posting malicious content about Jang Wonyoung.
In its official statement, Starship Entertainment said: “We will hold those responsible accountable to the fullest extent of the law, in accordance with our zero-tolerance policy toward serious acts that infringe upon the rights and interests of our artists”.
The agency specifically mentioned “cyber wreckers” who have “continuously disseminat[ed] false information about the artist’s character and conduct by distorting portions of recorded footage or adding information that is contrary to the facts”.
This legal action provides important context for Jang Wonyoung’s public activities. Despite ongoing online harassment, she continues to fulfill her professional schedule, including international fashion events.
