Fashion icon who wore 150 outfits in one drama: Lee Sung-kyung breaks down her recent looks

The story: 150+ outfits in a single drama. She's the fashion icon everyone wants to be. Started as a supermodel, then jumped to acting. Early roles in It's Okay, That's Love and Weightlifting Fairy showed her range. In the historical drama Romantic Doctor, Kim Sa-bu series, she proved she could carry drama weight. But then came Brilliant Season on MBC—as a high-end fashion house creative director—and suddenly she was wearing editorial pieces every single episode. That show just wrapped.

We're talking about Lee Sung-kyung. She makes everything fall like the photos meant her.

**Brown tweed, Celine bag, night city**

Color carries this entire outfit. Brown tone tweed crop jacket with matching mini skirt—a set. White quilted knit underneath so it doesn't feel tight. Black Mary Jane shoes ground it classically.

Celine black patent top-handle bag with the Triomphe logo sharp and visible—suddenly that all-brown moment has a spine. Night city with Namsan Tower glowing behind her makes it read sophis. Tonal set with a luxury bag acting as the single accent point. Textbook combination, but textbook works for a reason.

**Beige trench, light denim, autumn**

I spent a lot of time on these two. Classic beige double-breasted trench coat with a black sheer turtleneck underneath. Light-washed wide-leg denim below, bright and open.

Trench coat is the most classic piece in a wardrobe, right? But wearing it this casually, almost thrown on, somehow makes it read refined instead of stiff. The sheer turtleneck is the real move. Standard trench-and-denim combination becomes interesting the moment something semi-transparent enters. White shoes keep the tone lifted. Black mini bag adds a punctuation mark at the end.

Exposed concrete wall background, beige trench—the whole frame settles into calm. If you're wondering how to wear a trench when seasons shift, this is the answer.

**Pinstripe set with blue knit shoulder wrap**

Last one shifts the mood entirely. Brown pinstripe double jacket with matching vest and wide pants—a three-piece situation. Pure tailoring.

Then: throw a bright blue knit over the shoulders like a wrap. In a muted pinstripe set that could feel heavy, that one pop of blue suddenly makes everything live. Without that blue, just a tailored suit. With it—alive.

**Lee Sung-kyung's approach**

She builds from basic pieces—trench, set, tailored suit—but she always adds one detail that flips the mood. Sheer turtleneck under the trench for texture. Luxury bag for a tonal set for weight. Blue knit wrap for pinstripe for brightness.

Model training shows in how she wears silhouettes. She gets proportion. Add one intentional detail—sheer piece, statement color, designer bag—to your basic: trench, set, suit. That single layer or color makes ordinary into editorial.
