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.
Once you’ve finished pondering over who wore it better, get their pretty peplum looks for less! Peplum tops, dresses and even jackets are gaining popularity slowly yet surely. Seen in almost every high-street brands, this trend might not be a favorite among the masses but it’s definitely one that will make you stand out because it is a bit like a costume, fun and most of all, it shows off a nice hourglass figure.
When choosing your peplum pieces, go for something that is more sculptural for a sharper and more figure-embracing look. Pair it with pencil skirts, bodycon mini skirts, tailored shorts or skinny trousers and you’re good to go!
