Do you look good in blue?

They say blue is a flattering colour, as it can make anyone’s skin tone look brighter and more radiant. Irene also seems to like it, as she is often seen wearing it, such as when she attended the Prada photocall at Lotte Department Store on December 23, 2019, and the photocall for Byredo on November 1, 2019.

Skirting around

Irene is not afraid to wear skirts—they offer comfort and movement. When paired with a casual tee or blouse, a skirt can balance the look and give it a more formal vibe.

The gloves are off

One of the Bad Boy singer’s most iconic looks is her black and white outfit for the Psycho album’s official promotions. Apart from the bell-bottom flare pants, the lace gloves are another focal point of the look. It adds delicate femininity to any outfit.
