You’ve seen the men, most of them going for the beast concept or donning the classic suits — but now, let’s get the lowdown on the ladies’ performance outfits for the Dream Concert 2010!

Each year, the ladies’ performances get fiercer and fiercer, as they start shedding their cute images and experimenting with sexier outfits and consequently teasing with more skin. I’m sure the fanboys are not complaining! Who was the fiercest of them all in last night’s ball?

Find out below as we line up the performance outfits of your favorite female KPop idols:

The girls of Rainbow went the schoolgirl route with their song, Gossip Girl.

However, they should have just kept the Blair Waldorf school girl look rather than trying to mix it up with the black and white stripes, because this only ended up making the concept/theme look all over the place. Their outfits were a bit blah and too casual for me. And for something as big as the Dream Concert, there’s really no room for safe dressing.

No change of outfit for our f(x) girls tonight, too!

Like SHINee, their male counterparts in the SM Family, the outfits of f(x) went straight from the red carpet to the stage, wearing amped-up red variations of their Nu ABO outfits. I am loving the girls’ unique, experimental style — you’ve got to admit, they don’t fit into the cookie-cutter styling of other girl groups who are all either: a) cute/girly b) fierce/sexy c) funky/Lady-Gaga-inspired.

Although, Amber? Plaid shorts over jeans? I don’t get it.

The ladies of Davichi were a tad bit underdressed.

White blazer and light denim shorts — while this outfit does look good in general — this is something you’d wear for a dinner with friends, or even to the mall. Not the Dream Concert. Note to Davichi’s stylist: that small amount of gold sequins don’t automatically make anything glamorous.

T-ara transformed into Korea’s cheerleaders that night as they performed their World Cup song.

The fanboys also loved it when they continued to sing Bo Peep in these outfits. While cheerleading outfits are a surefire crowdpleaser, they could have done more variations for every individual’s outfit other than the different pins and brooches they put on their skirts. Also, not a big fan of the huge “Cielo ♥ Egoist” print on their shirts.

Fresh off their first few comeback stages, 4Minute stuck to neutral tones tonight, but still managed to keep things interesting.

I think their stylist/s pulled off a great feat: the girls’ outfits looked mismatched and unique–but similar enough to still look coordinated. Still lacking that extra wow factor though! (Although Hyuna’s fiery red hair and hot dance skills more than compensates for that!)

And we see a re-appearance of the black and white stripes, this time on the gorgeous women of After School.

It is very disappointing because I’ve seen versions of their drummer girl costumes which are LEAGUES better than these striped, shimmery ones. I personally would recommend their simple red-and-gold or black-and-gold ones, because these drummer outfits (and their bare navels and long legs) are stunning in themselves, and could have looked fantastic onstage.

First look at Kara and the word ‘mermaids’ would probably come to mind.

Okay, while these outfits may seem too gaudy and slinky for most, we have to remember that these are stage outfits. When you’ve got a huge crowd of fans, most of which can only see a dancing speck on stage–the flashier and shinier, the better. Kara made the boldest color choice that night, and that deserves some merit. Although yes, the mermaid-like material is disturbing, and they could have gone with black footwear.

Korea’s original pop princesses are back, but their Dream Concert appearance has me crying 2 Different Tears.

First, I’m crying for joy: I love seeing the Wonder Girls back in Korea! Second, I’m crying because of their outfits! Unflattering light denim + scraps of lace + neon hair add-ons? And this from the girl group who captured the hearts of the entire world in their all-out retro concept for Nobody! Who can forget those iconic colorful mod dresses and those scene-stealing flapper dresses?

Girls, you better step your fashion game up!

Girls’ Generation channeled the King of Pop again that night!

Their Michael Jackson inspired black military jackets with strong, sequined shoulders made the girls look classy and stunning. Their looks were made even more interesting and stage-appropriate with their shiny tank tops and leather knee-high boots. If you noticed, it was the perfect mix of their Run Devil Run and Oh! concepts.

The Queen of KPop is back and looking younger and fiercer than ever!

Really, who else at the age of 31 can pull off this outfit but Lee Hyori? Her military-inspired, tough chick outfit was simple, but nobody can doubt the powerful impression it made! An outfit, indeed, is only as good as how its wearer carries it. And nobody does it like Lee Hyori.

Overall, many of the ladies could have done a lot better. Or is the Dream Concert not as much of a big event as the year-end music festivals? What do you think? Tell us in the comments below!

The Seoul Music Awards 2010 was held on the 3rd of February 2010. Some of the ladies attendees include, SNSD (Girls Generation), After School, T-ara, KARA, Brown Eyed Girls, Davichi, Baek Ji Young, and Son Dambi.

The red carpet looks that night were AMAZING (well, mostly amazing, except for T-ara who walked the red carpet in their performace outfits!). Performance outfits should be left for the stage.

First up is So Nyuh Shi Dae in monochrome outfits:

The girls look great; especially Jessica and Yoona. Jessica’s multi-strapped maryjanes matched her mini dress really well. I wish they could change their hairstyles though- how about all black hair for the girls?

After School’s concept for the red carpet? Seafoam green? Though they showed cohesion with the same color scheme, their individual outfits don’t really stand out among the other red carpet attendees’ outfits.

After School girls need to have a change of hair color as well. Blonde don’t suit everyone.

I wish T-ara had worn the outfits they had worn for the sexy Arena magazine photo shoot, for the red carpet instead. Leave that cutesy cat outfits for the stage please.

KARA is spotted with some really beautiful heels! Jiyoung’s cage heels and Hara’s gladiators heels especially! In love <3

Brown Eyed Girls went for the sexy look for the red carpets, showing lots of legs.

Narsha looks so hot!

Davichi kept it simple in black and white.

Baek Ji Young in a flowy dress with a pair of ‘blinged’ heels. Lovely~

Son Dambi’s heeled boots look really great. But the dress just… looks like a lampshade. Dambi would look so much better in a bodycon dress with those boots.

My favorite look would have to be Baek Ji Young- the semi-formal dress with unique details on the back and those sparkling heels makes her look stand out among the rest of the attendees.

Vote for your favorite red carpet look, and leave a comment on why you love it!

Well, following that, SeeYa, Davichi & Ji Yeon of T-ara gets a whole new style~

A white concept that is.

I would say… I really prefered the ‘disco’ image much more than this new one.

Explanation below…

They pretty cute from far…

Happy, pure, innocent, cute image. (Very T-ara actually… See here.)

Jiyeon from T-ara.

I really hate her ‘pom pom’ necklace! What were the stylist thinking?!!!

And the pins of her hair… O.o

Everything is wrong here.

Yeon Ji.

Nice color of belt choosen.

Hair stylist! Fix her hair please!

Hair roots needs touch-ups. Her hair just looks totally unstyled.

Finally, I like something here!

I like Min Kyung’s hairband. Well, I like bows! ^^

Haeri.

Pom poms are just weird and ugly for accessories.

(Maybe, a pom pom badge would look cute… Hmmm…)

Boram…

The color of suspenders and belt is pretty!

But I feel that the suspenders are enough.

Ji Yeon’s top to toe image.

Don’t like the dress. Ew.

…

Now you see why I prefer the earlier stylings much better?

How bout you?

Which do you prefer?

…

Love,

SeeYa, Davichi and Ji Yeon (T-ara) came together to perform the song Women’s Generation for a drama soundtrack. Along with the song comes a cute and colourful MV. They performed the song on Mnet Countdown on April 7.

SeeYa, Davichi and Ji Yeon dressed up in clash of colors for the performance!

Pink, purple, cyan, yellow pops out from their outfits.

Girl power~

Girly, pop, hippy feel?

Seems that sneakers (colorful ones of cos’) are back!

High cut ones give a more stylish, look-at-me look.

Low cut sneakers are more girly and in my opinion, make legs look longer~ >.<

Take your pick ^^

SeeYa member Lee Bo Ra~

Love that top! I guess you can find at most high street brands or fashion brands now.

Think Topshop, ASOS or Forever 21?

That belt/tube on a midriff looks weird though.

And, the pants and that belt/tube looks super unflattering.

T-ara’s member Ji Yeon~

Her belt looks too cute for words!

She suits the flared skirt too! <3

…

Love their style?

Or do you prefer the monochromes?

I think… I like monochromes more.
