G-Dragon, Jennie and RM Lead Complex’s K-Pop Fashion Ranking

Complex has published a ranking of the 25 best-dressed K-pop stars of all time, evaluating artists across their full careers. The magazine considered trend-setting ability, stylistic range and influence across generations, bringing together current stars and earlier-generation icons. G-Dragon claimed the top spot, followed by BLACKPINK’s Jennie and BTS’s RM.

The feature credits G-Dragon with helping change the fashion industry’s view of Korean idols. It highlights his Chanel ambassadorship, Peaceminusone’s development from an art project into a fashion brand, and collaborations involving Nike Air Force 1 sneakers, Comme des Garçons and BMW. Jennie’s influence is described through her Chanel work, Met Gala appearances and ability to turn styling choices into trends, including looks featuring Alaïa and Jacquemus.

RM’s third-place position is presented as a notable surprise. Unlike stars known for dramatic fashion, he is recognized for relaxed tailoring, understated colors and an approach associated with quiet luxury. Bottega Veneta named him its first celebrity ambassador in 2023, matching the brand’s focus on logo-free craftsmanship. The wider list also includes artists such as Lisa and Felix.
