The crop top in question is part of VPPLEMENT‘s Spring/Summer 2023 collection, “Be Modern.” While it’s offered in two colors, both IU and Irene chose the beige version with green stripes. The sweater has long sleeves that go right up to your fingertips and an off-the-shoulder look that fans love to see female idols rock. The emphasis isn’t only on the shoulder line, however, as the tight fit along the waist also shows the incredible proportions both these queens possess.

IU was spotted wearing the sweater first, rocking it during a special episode of her YouTube show, IU’s Palette. The episode was centered around Dreamone of the most recent movies IU starred in next to Park Seo Joon. The actor was invited to IU’s show alongside Jung Seung Gil and Heo Jun Seok, both of whom are also protagonists in Dream.

The singer chose to pair the gorgeous sweater with a pair of slim long-waisted white jeans, the tight fit of which only emphasized IU’s amazing proportions further. The classic white heels the Korean star had chosen as her preferred shoes added more of a sophisticated aura to the overall look, despite the sweater itself being casual.

Differently from IU, Irene chose to sport the sweater during one of her many airport visits these past few days. The Red Velvet leader is currently in the middle of a world tour with her bandmates, which requires them to go to the airport every other day. This became the perfect chance for fans, and non-fans alike, to get a glimpse into Irene’s wardrobe.

The K-Pop star was spotted wearing the off-the-shoulder crop top at Gimpo Airport on her way to Japan last week, and the pictures taken by fans and press alike are nothing short of magical.

Opting for a more casual and comfortable look than IU’s show-hosting alternative, Irene chose to pair the infamous crop top with a pair of straight-cut light blue jeans. Not only did the jeans look perfect for travel, but they also added a fresh vibe to the outfit that perfectly encapsulated Irene’s aura that day. The simple, almost non-existing, makeup and hairdo, coupled with the casual and fresh look, made Irene look like Spring manifested as a human being.
