The 2025 Fashion Week season has been one of the most exciting in recent memory, and BTS members played a major part in that energy. From New York to Milan and Paris, the group’s appearances at top runways shows created a wave of attention.
Each member represented a different luxury brand and resumed activities in the fashion world after completing military service. Jungkook made headlines in New York for Calvin Klein, RM brought sophistication to Bottega Veneta in Milan, Jin embodied elegance for Gucci, Jimin turned heads at Dior in Paris, and V represented Celine with his signature charisma.
Jungkook’s Show-Stopping NYFW Debut for Calvin Klein
Jungkook made his first post-military appearance at New York Fashion Week for Calvin Klein’s Spring 2026 collection by Veronica Leoni. The show, held on September 13, 2025, marked his long-awaited return to the public eye after his discharge on June 11. As expected, his presence immediately became the main attraction of the event.
He arrived wearing an oversized beige suit, styled with a fitted vest and wide-leg trousers that captured Calvin Klein’s minimalist yet confident aesthetic. The light-toned fabric complemented his natural complexion, and his tattoos and piercings gave the overall look the right amount of edge. Later during the show, he changed into a sleek black trench coat, which gave his look a more cinematic mood—sharp, mysterious, and effortlessly cool.
Fans and media outlets agreed that Jungkook “shut down” the show. Hashtags like #JungkookxCalvinKlein dominated social media within minutes, generating millions of impressions worldwide. His appearance also reaffirmed his strong partnership with the brand, which first named him a global ambassador in 2023.
RM Returns to Milan Fashion Week for Bottega Veneta
At Milan Fashion Week, RM represented Bottega Veneta, attending the label’s Spring/Summer 2026 presentation on September 27, 2025. He wore a monochromatic beige ensemble, combining a relaxed-fit shirt with tailored trousers. A set of layered silver chains added depth to the neutral palette, while dark sunglasses gave a contemporary finish. His short hair, styled with subtle gray highlights, added a touch of modernity without overpowering the outfit.
RM’s quiet confidence drew just as much attention as his clothes. Cameras followed his every step, and fashion critics praised how naturally he embodied Bottega Veneta’s creative direction under Matthieu Blazy, minimalist but expressive. Fans online described him as “the definition of understated luxury,” and local Italian outlets also praised his calm presence.
Jin Returns to the Spotlight for Gucci in Milan
Jin attended Gucci’s MFW show for the third time after completing his military service and was equally celebrated. He appeared at the Gucci Fall/Winter 2025 show in Milan, reinforcing his role as one of the brand’s key ambassadors.
Jin opted for a simple but chic combination of a white mandarin-collared button-down shirt, which he wore unbuttoned to reveal a long necklace underneath. His wide brown pants featured a vintage flair. The look was anchored by a sleek black belt featuring Gucci’s iconic gold “GG” monogram and finished with sophisticated black square-toe boots.
He completed his outfit with what appeared to be the Gucci Jackie 1961 bag, a classic accessory that complemented his timeless style.
Jimin Made His First Post-Military Appearance at the Dior SS26 Show
When Jimin arrived at Dior’s Paris Fashion Week presentation, the atmosphere changed instantly. The scene outside the Dior venue was described as resembling a rock concert rather than a fashion event, with massive crowds of fans gathering just for a chance to see Jimin. Major media outlets like WWD (Women’s Wear Daily) documented the extraordinary fan turnout and the impact of his presence.
The excitement was so overwhelming that even other celebrities were asked about Jimin and the crowd frenzy. Monica Barbaro, who was seated next to him, appeared somewhat overwhelmed by all the photographic attention directed their way due to the seating arrangement.
He arrived at the venue wearing a black single-breasted blazer with slightly extended shoulders, but no shirt underneath. The chest was exposed, and allowed layering of jewelry to become part of the main design: rings, earrings, and layered necklaces, including a pendant.
His pants were leather, fitted around the thighs and looser below, likely straight or with a slight taper to balance the weight and structure of the top. Boots were similarly black, polished, likely Chelsea style, or a slim cut with minimal detailing, so they did not compete with the upper half.
Hair was platinum-blonde, styled with a wet-look or slightly damp finish, middle or slightly off-center parting so it frames the face.
V Turns Head at Celine’s Été Show
V’s fashion week appearance at Céline’s Été (Summer 2026) show on October 5, 2025, gave different cues—old-money formality with modern touches.
He wore a brown knee-length double-breasted coat—that is, two rows of buttons on the front, longer hem falling to about the knees. The coat’s fabric seemed medium-weight (wool or wool blend) with enough structure to hold shape. Under that, matching trousers in the same brown tone to give a coherent silhouette.
Inside his coat, he wore a crisp white button-down shirt: collar pointed, clean lines, contrasting sharply with the darker brown outerwear. He added a silk leopard-print tie, which introduced pattern and texture to color-block the brown + white base. Boots were black leather, polished. Hair was styled fairly naturally—bangs falling, not tightly slicked back.
V interacted with several notable guests, including actress Uma Thurman, who later described their photo together as “a lifetime shot.” He also chatted with Celine’s CEO Séverine Merle, humorously commenting that the music at the brand’s pre-show party “wasn’t loud enough.”
Meanwhile, BTS reunited after nearly two years apart in June. Now that all members have completed their military service, they are working tirelessly to prep for future group activities, including album release and tour.
