Red Velvet (????) is a five-member South Korean girl group that produces equally colorful and sultry K-pop anthems. Comprised of members Irene, Seulgi, Joy, Wendy and Yeri, the group made their debut in 2014 with Happiness, an upbeat bubblegum pop track.

Since then, Red Velvet have been taking the K-pop world by storm and are steadily becoming one of South Korea’s most accomplished idol groups. Their 2018 hit, Bad Boy, recently became their most viewed music video yet, with over 202 million views at time of writing.

In celebration of this (and because Bad Boy is honestly one of my personal favorite K-pop tracks of all time) I’ve decided to mark the occasion by creating three looks inspired by the track’s bad-girl-energy music video.

Just as I did on my previous K-pop post, I’ll be selecting particular scenes from the music video and creating looks based around them.

So without further ado, stay tuned to find out how to get Red Velvet’s edgy, femme-fatale looks for yourself…

Red Velvet Bad Boy Fashion: Look 1 – Checkmate

For this first look, I decided to recreate the music video’s opening scene outfits. Sitting pretty in a pink jacuzzi, the girls pair edgy accessories with check skirts for a tougher take on the traditional schoolgirl look.

To emulate this look, all the while making it more wearable for everyday, I paired a monochrome check skirt with a simple crop top, black heeled boots and matching accessories. If you’re feeling very daring, try swapping out the socks for a pair of fishnet tights. The edgier the better, I say.
