Kim Da-mi stunned in her first lead role as a genetically-engineered student with superpowers in 2018 film The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion, winning numerous Best New Actress awards. Then, she charmed audiences (and Park Seo-joon) and stole scenes in Itaewon Class, with her quirky and insouciant portrayal of a sociopathic blogger who happens to be a marketing genius. Her funky dip-dyed hair and luxe streetwear style in the hit 2020 K-drama were much lauded and copied, and she picked up a Best New Actress trophy at the Baeksang Arts Awards.

As the ice-cool and effortlessly stylish Jo Yi-seo in Itaewon Class, Kim Da-mi practically lived in oversized leather jackets, from fur-trimmed numbers to sleek leather blazers. This one stood out for being dazzlingly white, superbly paired with a turtleneck and chunky jewellery. Top it all off with a I’m-better-than-you sneer for ice princess perfection.
