A screenshot of the back view of the outfit garnered a lot of attention from fans due to the unique nature of the fitting. At first, it seemed to utilize the exposed bra look, but while it is controversial and often criticized by netizens, it wasn’t the revealing nature of the outfit that sparked comments
While one fan said it literally looked like underwear, the others criticized the shaping and styling of the outfit, explaining that aespa’s stylists seem to either get the members’ outfits really right or really wrong.
- It looks like underwear. Not saying it’s sexy or too revealing—it literally just looks like the shape of underwear.
- I’ve seen clothes like that in books about Greek and Roman mythology.
- Aespa’s styling is seriously stunning when they get it right, but when it’s off, it’s really off… lol. But I think that’s just an SM stylist thing. It’s not just Aespa—other SM groups sometimes show up in weird outfits too.
- Aespa’s styling seems to have no middle ground. At year-end events or concerts, their outfits are envy-worthy and gorgeous, but sometimes you just go, “Why that?”
- At least it must feel breezy on the back.
Netizens believe aespa deserves more consistency when it comes to styling.
