Almost two years after the release of Squid Game, Jung Ho-yeon – also known as Ho-yeon Jung – remains a name on everyone’s lips and a regular fixture on red carpets around the world (she was most recently spotted at the 2023 Baftas, for example).

Beyond her acting talent, it’s her fashion sense and street style that have solidified her as a true fashion icon, capturing the attention of fashion brands and fans around the world.

With almost 22 million Instagram followers, Jung effortlessly blends bold and luxury pieces with classic staples. Her street style is particularly noteworthy, from oversized coats and chunky sneakers to Y2K-inspired fashion and unique colour combinations.

What’s more, Jung knows how to mix and match different textures, patterns, and styles with ease, showcasing her fashion expertise honed through her time as a runway model.

Here we take a look at Jung’s best street style looks:

The Adidas brand ambassador showcased her love of the oversized look in a neon lime parka jacket paired with jeans and Adidas trainers in an Instagram post last year.

Post Squid Game, Jung made her runway comeback for Louis Vuitton in 2022. She looked right at home strutting in an oversized brown leather jacket, paired with baggy striped trousers and a shirt. But it was the yellow print tie they paired it with that we loved the most.

Back in 2020, in another Instagram post, Jung was winter-ready in a dark green buttoned up coat complete with Louis Vuitton sling bag and a pair of jacket gloves, reminding us that Jung can be stylish in any season.

Her footwear game is strong

Last year, Jung shared photos of a day in the snow and made us all envious of her Adidas Yeezy Resin 450 trainers at the time. She completed the look with a Jacquemus textured zip jumper, Calvin Klein wash jeans and Louis Vuitton Palm Springs reverse canvas bag.

We also love how Jung repeatedly rebels against fashion norms. At the 2022 Academy Museum Gala, she flaunted her long legs in a Louis Vuitton minidress paired with its knee-high black combat boots. The boots featured a unique “LV” monogrammed trim in the shafts, along with silver trim and side zips, per Footwear News. Punk goddess? We think so.

For the 2021 CFDA Fashion Awards, she sported black Louis Vuitton buckled sandals featuring side zips and open toes.

The 28-year-old star has often shown her love of early noughties fashion trends. In one post, Jung flaunts a denim-on-denim outfit while pairing it with a chic tote bag and suede shoes.

In another, she wore a velvet navy jacket over a white, ruffle collar shirt, paired with blue jeans and a Louis Vuitton saddle bag, making the iconic era her own with a modern twist.

Another look Jung is fond of? Little T-shirts and jeans. Like in this photo where she’s effortlessly tucked her Adidas black tee in to her jeans then completed the look with a pair of sunglasses and sling bag.

On another occasion she swapped a T-shirt for a Chanel cotton tweed sleeveless top, paired with blue jeans and complemented by Chanel’s sling bag and a pair of gold earrings.

No wardrobe is complete without fabulous knitwear. Jung recently donned a classy grey jumper over a white-collared shirt and paired it with a brown-buttoned skirt for the Director Square Awards.

Back in 2019, The Governess star flaunted another near-perfect knitwear ensemble: an oversized jumper, loose black pants and chunky trainers while strolling through the streets of New York City. So simple, but so good.
