"Biggest green flag"- Fans praise BTS' Taehyung for breaking gender norms by expressing desire to wear Celine's Womenswear sparkle purple dress

BTS’ Taehyung (V) proves why he is one of the most influential figures in global fashion. On October 5, 2025, he attended CELINE’s Women’s Spring/Summer 2026 show at Paris Fashion Week. There, the singer caught the fans' attention. However, this time, it was not for his look but for his views on self-expression and gender-neutral fashion.

While he was attending the show as CELINE’s global ambassador, Taehyung participated in a brief interview with Vogue Korea. When asked about which look caught his eye, he revealed that his favorite look from the collection was a sparkling purple dress. He added that he would love to try wearing it someday. He also remarked that there was “no rule” that said he couldn’t.

As translated by user @theTKuniverse on X, the BTS member answered,

"Hello, I’m V. I went to see the Celine show today, and first of all, there were so many really pretty looks. Among them, that purple dress — the one with a bit of sparkle — wow! I really want to wear it. But, well, when would I ever… huh? There’s no rule saying I can’t! I’ll have to try it sometime. Thank you."

The design Taehyung referred to was a shimmering sequined mini dress featured in CELINE’s latest Été 2026 collection by creative director Michael Rider. Fans were quick to notice how V connected with the collection’s spirit.

Soon after Vogue Korea posted the clip, social media platforms were filled with fan reactions praising him for his progressive attitude toward fashion. They praised him for embracing a garment traditionally categorized as womenswear. Many described him as the "green flag” for defying outdated gender norms. An X user, @ghostintk, wrote,

"thee biggest green flag."

Fans highlighted how his comment reflected an open-minded, authentic perspective that celebrates creativity without boundaries. Meanwhile, others said that his willingness to express interest in the dress made him someone who sees fashion as a form of art rather than a constraint.

Fans also drew parallels with his past choice. He had previously worn outfits such as flowing silhouettes, bold accessories, and unisex designs.

Throughout his two-day stay in Paris, Taehyung showcased multiple CELINE outfits. His looks ranged from sharp tailored coats to relaxed, vintage-inspired streetwear. They earned acclaim from both fans and international fashion media.

His ability to personalize luxury designs and add his own sense of style reaffirmed his position as one of K-pop’s most fashion-forward figures.

Since being appointed CELINE’s global ambassador in 2023, Taehyung’s collaboration with the French luxury brand has only strengthened.

In other news, on October 6, CELINE launched a special section on its official website titled “A variety of silhouettes chosen by Celine global ambassador V.” The website features outfits curated by the BTS star himself.
