Approaching the age of 50, she has now even taken on the challenge of AI acting... The matching formula that makes a naturally gifted actress's face look smaller!

With a history that includes even taking on AI acting at an age nearing 50, it turns out that her entire career has been a series of challenges. After debuting in 1997 with writer Noh Hee-kyung's *The Reason I Live*, she rose to stardom with works like *Glass Shoes* and *Toji*, and in *I Have a Lover*, she truly proved her acting prowess by playing two roles and earning the nickname "God Hyun-joo."

In 2021, she took on her first action role in Netflix's *Hellbound*, which topped the global charts, and in 2023, she continued to expand her genre range by successfully portraying an AI character in *Jung Yi*. The star of this perfect vibe is none other than Kim Hyun-joo! Recently, she returned to the big screen after three years with the film *Little Life*, meeting audiences at the Jeonju International Film Festival, and this coming October, she is set to show a new side of herself in tvN's *100 Days of Lies*. So, let's take a closer look at photos to see how Kim Hyun-joo achieves that look of a smaller face these days.

Olive utility jacket, slimming effect created by the collar angle

Let's start by looking at the shots taken at the movie theater Q&A session. It is an olive-toned utility jacket featuring a pointed collar that stands up wide and sharp. This collar serves to slightly cover the sides of the face, and the closer the collar stands to the face without a deep neckline, the more the face appears relatively smaller.

The material is a cotton blend with a slightly stiff, structured texture, and features two flap pockets on the front. I paired it with a black V-neck inner top and wrapped a dark brown asymmetrical wrap skirt around it to create vertical lines.

A classic match of a black polka dot shirt and button-detail pants

In this shot taken on the violin performance stage, the pants were the first thing to catch my eye. It is a shirt with a black base and densely packed white dots, with the collar standing up slightly wide and the sleeves rolled up stylishly.

For the bottoms, I wore black wide-leg pants with closely spaced vertical buttons on the sides that drew the eye along the leg line. The shirt collar wrapped around the neck, diverting attention from the face, and when paired with a naturally flowing hairstyle, it gave the impression of making the face look even smaller.

The vertical line created by the black oversized blazer and wide pants

This is a shot taken in the waiting room on the red carpet at a film festival. It is a black oversized blazer with a generous shoulder line and wide lapels, giving it a distinct boxy silhouette.

I wore a deep V-neck top peeking out slightly, and unified the look with wide-leg pants in the same tone. When wearing a neutral color scheme for the entire outfit, attention naturally tends to focus on the face; however, the wide lapels of the blazer emphasize the shoulder line, creating a proportion that makes the face appear relatively smaller. A white canvas tote bag serves as the sole accent, keeping the overall look neat and polished.

So, to summarize Kim Hyun-joo's style

It seems the matching formula that makes Kim Hyun-joo's face look smaller ultimately lies in the collar and shoulder line. From the pointed collar and the wide collar of the polka dot shirt to the wide lapels of the oversized blazer, all three outfits featured a detail that drew attention to the area around her face.

When you add a color selection focused on neutral and dark tones to this, it completes an impression where the facial lines look even slimmer and more distinct.
