Jisoo Takes a Contrasting Approach With Two Strikingly Different Canneseries Festival Looks

Reported by Harper's Bazaar.

Jisoo showed up to the Canneseries Festival ready to make a statement—actually, two very different statements. At the 9th edition of the international event, the South Korean singer and actor claimed the Rising Star award while serving dual aesthetics: one dripping in romantic excess, the other stripped to architectural severity. The range wasn't accidental; it was a flex.

For her opening moment on the pink carpet, Jisoo wore a Miss Sohee Spring/Summer 2026 couture gown that walked the line between structure and fantasy. The corset bodice was engineered like armor—exposed boning, sculptural cups, strapless precision—then wrapped in delicate black lace that traced the seams like creeping ivy. Below the satin waist tie, layers of blush tulle cascaded to the floor with the kind of weightless volume that makes regular people weep. She finished it with floral jewelry, because subtlety has its limits. It was the kind of dress that announces you've arrived.

Then she switched gears entirely.

At a subsequent Majestic Hotel Barriere photocall, Jisoo pivoted to a Jonathan Anderson-designed Dior Fall 2026 piece in stark black. Where the first look was about invitation, this one whispered control through chaos. Asymmetrical ribbons sat at the neckline and drop waist—deliberately loose, almost careless—meeting raw, frayed edges of the woven base. She paired it with open-toe bow heels and another jewelry set, anchoring the disheveled elegance with a braided updo. The contrast was total: polished rebellion where the first was disciplined romance.

Jisoo's double appearance mattered beyond the looks themselves, according to Harper's Bazaar. She became the first Asian recipient of the Rising Star award, joining past winners like Sydney Sweeney and Daisy Edgar-Jones. In a statement to press, she reframed the honor not as a trophy but as permission: "It makes me want to show a new side of myself. It makes me want to work harder." That's the thing about range—it only registers once you prove you actually have it, and she did it in two dresses.
