Stray Kids’ Hyunjin and South Korean coed group ALLDAY PROJECT (ADP) were among the most talked-about guests at Versace’s Spring/Summer 2026 show during Milan Fashion Week on September 26, 2025.
The event, staged at the historic Pinacoteca Ambrosiana art gallery, marked the debut of Versace’s new creative director, Dario Vitale. It drew international attention for its star-studded guest list and bold return to the brand’s roots.
Hyunjin, who was appointed as a Global Brand Ambassador in 2023, highlighted his strong ties with Versace through another memorable fashion week appearance.
For the SS26 presentation, he wore a crisp blue-and-white striped shirt with a matching tie under a black leather jacket, paired with black trousers. His look was finished with a gold-buckle belt, Versace glasses, and statement earrings.
Fans online praised the styling, calling him the “Prince of Versace,” a nickname originally given by Donatella Versace. Over the past two years, Hyunjin has become a consistent figure at the brand’s runway shows, from his tailored black suit at the FW24 event to his bold Barocco print look at the SS25 show. He has also worn custom-made Versace pieces on stage during Stray Kids’ world tour, designed with input from Donatella herself.
ALLDAY PROJECT made their Milan debut at the same show, one of the few K-pop groups invited. The co-ed group, which only recently debuted, was admired for their coordinated yet individual fashion choices. ALLDAY PROJECT created buzz during their departure from ICN Airport on September 25, where fans described the group as walking a runway of their own.
The Versace SS26 collection itself was the main event, Dario Vitale’s first as creative director after Donatella Versace’s long tenure. Vitale’s debut collection embraced Versace’s 1980s and 1990s roots with a confident, sensual energy. The runway featured high-waisted jeans with cinched silhouettes, open-sided T-shirts, backless dresses with loose fastenings, and bright primary colors.
The soundtrack—George Michael, Prince, and Eurythmics—captured the flamboyant energy of that era and set the tone for the presentation.
Joining Hyunjin and ADP at the event were actor Ding Yuxi, singer Jingyi Ju, Romeo Beckham, and U.S. actor Lily McInerny, all dressed in bold Versace looks.
