The face the fashion world is paying the most attention to these days, a global style icon with an overwhelming fashion sense that goes beyond acting skills.
There is a name that has been mentioned particularly frequently lately among fashion enthusiasts, so I decided to dig into it today. She is an actress recognized for her fashion sense as much as her acting skills—to the point where people say her style is completely different no matter what she wears. That actress is none other than Cha Joo-young.
She debuted at the late age of 26 and endured a long period of obscurity where even her personal resolve to just hold out until she turned 30 nearly crumbled. However, her role as Choi Hye-jeong in *The Glory* completely turned the situation around. She captivated the world with a character who was a school bully, gaining a global phenomenon-level popularity. It was surprising to learn that in 2025, she was recognized for her stable acting in a historical drama as Won-kyung, her first title role since her debut. Perhaps thanks to this background, she was recently selected as a fashion brand ambassador, gaining recognition for her sense of style alongside her acting skills; looking at the photos today, I could definitely see why.
① Indoor pictorial, Pink knit cardigan x White inner top
This is a photoshoot shot taken indoors with soft lighting. She paired an oversized pink knit cardigan with a white inner top and added an accent with a gold pendant necklace. The soft knit texture and pastel colors harmonized with the natural light, completing the entire photoshoot with a dreamy atmosphere. With just the combination of the chicness unique to short hair and the soft knit, I could see why people called it a "perfect fit."
② Staircase pictorial, white blouse x lace skirt
Shot against a backdrop of marble stairs, the look features a white puff-sleeved blouse paired with a crochet lace skirt, cinched at the waist with a gold buckle belt. Although the outfit is composed entirely of classic white tones, every detail of the fabric stands out, creating a mood that is simple yet anything but ordinary. A professional presence was evident in the refined posture and eye contact.
③ Gold Wall pictorial, black cutout knit dress
Shot against a golden wall, the model struck a dynamic pose with her arms outstretched, wearing a black knit dress featuring chain details and cutouts at the neckline. The contrast between the gold background and the black dress, combined with the gold chain necklace, created a glamour worthy of an awards ceremony photoshoot. It was a shot that instantly captivated everyone's attention with its perfectly fitted silhouette alone.
④ Studio pictorial, black camisole dress
In this close-up shot taken against a neutral-toned background, she strikes an elegant pose with her arms crossed, wearing a black camisole dress with a sweetheart neckline. Even though it is just a simple black dress, the entire pictorial is completed with a chic mood through her wind-blown hair and calm expression. The aura of an actress who has established herself as a rising star since *The Glory* was clearly felt in this single shot.
⑤ Brand pictorial, Pink set-up x Etro tote bag
It is a brand pictorial shot taken against an ivory background. She paired a pink matching set with an ivory knit sweater underneath and carried a camel-trimmed tote bag featuring a large Etro logo. The subtle pink tones of the outfit harmonized well with the accent color of the brand bag, creating a bright yet sophisticated look. It was a shot that made me understand why the brand was flooded with inquiries just because of this one bag.
After looking through these five photos, I noticed a common thread. Whether wearing knitwear, a dress, or a brand pictorial, her signature elegance and sophisticated vibe remained intact regardless of the look. It seemed as though today's photos clearly proved that she is recognized for her sense of style just as much as her acting skills.
