Taeyeon flawless even when compared to runway model


Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon was spotted wearing the same dress as a runway model.
On a recent broadcast, Taeyeon was wearing an A-line dress from the Moschino 2012 S/S collection. The design on the front of the dress resembles tree leaves embellished with colorful beads, and the contrast between the black and white tones created a slimming effect.
The runway model completed the bohemian-inspired look with braided hair, adding bold earrings and colorful bangles. Taeyeon accentuated her waist line with a bright red belt, giving a boost to her volume, and finished the look with a lovely, wavy hairstyle.
Netizens commented, “There’s no other doll,” “[I like Taeyeon the best] out of Soshi,” and “I’m jealous of her thin waist.”
