Get IU and Hyori’s pretty Peplum looks
Lee Hyori and IU were both spotted in the same embroidered peplum mini dress from designer Manish Arora.
Lee Hyori was seen wearing the dress in the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine while IU wore the same piece for the Gaon Chart K-Pop Awards 2012 red carpet.
While Hyori revealed her feminine and sexy side by just wearing the mini dress by itself and pairing it with matching pink wedges, IU showed a cute and flirty flair, layering a cream tulle skirt and opting for nude platform pumps.
The dress was first shown last September at Paris Fashion Week Paris during Manish Arora’s Spring/Summer 2012 ready-to-wear collection show.
