Dara added a touch of whimsy and femininity to this Dolce & Gabanna look. Instead of going the innocent route, she partnered this gorgeous Dolce & Gabanna outfit with a messy and rocker hairstyle plus really heavy eyeliner! Despite such a strong look, she still manages to give us a sense of femininity and vulnerability on her face! Gorgeous! Just gorgeous! She looked somewhere in between a princess and a rebel!

OMG! How fierce is this photoshoot?!? Dara looks oh so gorgeous and fierce at the same time! Our goddess is soooo edgy! Check out her feminine dress by Mary Katrantzou as well as DARA’S PHOTO WITH THUNDER! How gorgeous do they look together? I swear! PERFECT SIBLINGS! Their genes are just to die for!

Age is just a number between 2NE1 members. We’ve never drawn a line between unnie and dongsaeng. I think that’s how 2NE1 strives.

– About the K-Pop Giveaway 

Korean popular music, or K-Pop, has become a vibrant cultural phenomenon in recent years and a new symbol of Korea for millions of fans worldwide. To celebrate these talented Korean artists, the Korean Cultural Center Washington DC is thrilled to host a new K-Pop Giveaway each month of 2012. Each time will feature a different K-Pop artist or group, and 10 or more winners will receive a special prize based from the featured artist, such as CD albums, photo books, clothing, or other exclusive accessories.

– About PSY and 2NE1

Joining the YG family in 2010, singer-songwriter PSY is a consummate showman, who has become best known for his exciting and theatrical stage performances. Since his debut, he has done more than 20 concerts, entertaining audiences with his witty and energetic music, dance, and choreography. He is also nominated to sing an official cheering song for the London Olympic in 2012, “KOREA”.

2NE1 is a popular K-pop girl-group that debuted in 2009 with YG Entertainment. They claim to be different from other girl groups, bursting onto the electronic music scene as soon as they appeared. Their cutting-edge music and unique fashion style led to collaboration with artists such as Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and world-famous designer, Jeremy Scott. As the popularity has increased in the world, 2NE1 is planning to hold “2NE1 New Evolution”, their first world-wide tour, which will start in America from August 2012.

– How It Works

To enter the contest, simply “Like” the Facebook wall of Korean Cultural Center in DC (if not already!) and make a post on our FB wall about the featured artists, PSY and 2NE1. The winners will be chosen through three standards- creativity, effort, and popularity. So, the most innovative, inspiring, or amazing posts will win: show your love by posting a personal story, tribute, original song, photos, video, or anything else you can think of to show your K-Pop pride!

Everyone is eligible to enter. This Giveaway event is worldwide! Entries are accepted July 16-Aug 31. Winners will be notified individually at the end of the month via Facebook.

Designer Roberto Cavalli tweets about 2NE1’s fashion in “I Love You” music video. In his tweets, he shows off 2NE1’s music video as well as the clothes that Dara wore in said video. ^_^ Who could blame him? Dara did so much justice to his clothes!
