NCT and Stray Kids, the iconic boy groups of K-pop, along with XG, a Japanese girl group influenced by the K-pop system, have gained recognition in the U.S. for their incredible style. They have been honored with the title of ‘Most Stylish Musicians’ by the renowned music media outlet, Rolling Stone.
In the recently announced The 25 Most Stylish Musicians of 2024 list by Rolling Stone on their website, NCT secured an impressive 14th position, making them the highest-ranking K-pop artists on the list.
Rolling Stone praised NCT for their ability to set trends rather than follow them, as demonstrated by their title track Baggy Jeans from their fourth full-length album.
Stray Kids secured the 18th spot on the list. Rolling Stone highlighted their sophisticated yet bold style, which is evident in their music video for TOPLINE. They effortlessly showcase their fashion sense by pairing a shearling coat, a graphic tee, and a Miu Miu cowboy hat.
When it comes to XG, who secured the 21st position, Rolling Stone mentioned that they released seven music videos, each showcasing a distinct style. XG was incredibly experimental with their hair, makeup, and nails, pushing the boundaries of color and style.
This ranking is a compilation of musicians from all over the world, as voted by music and fashion experts worldwide. Rosalia, Beyonce, and Doja Cat claimed the top three spots on the list.
