To be honest, this dress itself is questionable. A patterned dress from 'Paul & Joe's 2015 autumn collection, this piece with a design reminiscent of paisley was still pulled off well by the youthful and classy acting goddesses, Park Shin Hye and Goo Hye Sun. The former wore it August 16 at her fan meeting in Taiwan while the latter wore it August 13 on the red carpet of the Jecheon International Music & Film Festival.
Both women pulled off the dress simply so as not to overwhelm by adding too much onto the already flashy pattern. Overall, I have to say that I prefer Park Shin Hye's look over Goo Hye Sun's. She went full out elegant and mature with bright red lipstick, and the dress was more flattering on her curvy figure, whereas the dress looked positively frumpy on Goo Hye Sun's smaller, petite frame.
While I do like Goo Hye Sun's choice of nude pumps over Park Shin Hye's white ones, that wasn't enough to overturn my decision. In addition, Park Shin Hye looked positively elegant with her loose, full hair, and, while I do think it was good to not compete with the dress, Goo Hye Sun's bangs and modest red lipstick were even a bit underwhelming and meek in contrast to the shout-out pattern. She almost looks like a child who tried on her mother's dress and got lost on the red carpet, and her random choice of long, dangling earrings hiding in her hair didn't do much to help. It would have been a lot better if she had the dress fitted for her body.
