Who would vote as the best-dressed? Comment below!

The Incheon Music Wave concert 2011 will air on MBC at a later date.

It’s a fierce battle between these 2 vocal queens as their dress are hot in flames, literally. This dress from London-based designer Ashish Gupta is all about fun colours and outlandish style which fits perfectly with these 2 hot groups, 2NE1 and fX. He has also been called the GOD of Sequins so do expect a lot of sequins from his collections.The flame dress is from Ashish’s S/S 2011 collection which was shown in London.

Luna (루나) was first seen wearing this Ashish Flame dress for the 2011 Mnet 20’s Choice Awards and paired it with a leather jacket and sky high heels. She looked sexy and fierce at the same time as she braved through the rain and still able to pull off the look with a smile.

Park Bom (박봄) recently wore it on Inkigayo for the song Hate You where she paired it with the funky and eccentric leggings from Emilio Cavallini. The hexagonal shaped leggings definitely gave the dress a more dramatic look compared to Luna and it gives the look a more experimental approach.

Currently, people have gone crazy over this dress that this Flame Sequined dress have sold out in a lot of websites but you can grab other outfits from his collection at Brownsfashion.

So, who do you guys think looked better? 2NE1′s Park Bom or f(x)’s Luna?

The glitz and glamor of Dream Concert 2011 red carpet took place on 28 May, 2011, at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, just before the concert itself. While most of the ladies and guys showed up in monochromatic outfits or stage outfits (which were rather disappointing), IU and Goo Hara strutted down the red carpet in mini cocktail designer dresses which were absolutely adorable.

The stars who walked the red carpet for Dream Concert 2011 include the MCs Song Joong Ki, Super Junior’s Kim Hee Chul and KARA’s Goo Hara, 2PM, After SChool, 5Dolls, Miss A, K.Will, TVXQ, Rainbow, BEAST, FT Island, f(x), SHINee, Secret, SISTAR, IU, U-Kiss, Eru, G.Na, KARA, T-ara, 4Minute, After School and Jewelry.

Check out Who Wore What below :

Jewelry members, Eunjung, Baby J, Yewon and Semi, were seen in mini dresses and lots of leather and studded details. Their platform sandals were the ones that stole the limelight- Suecomma Bonnie‘s Studded Platform Sandals and what seem like Christian Louboutin‘s Balota 120 glitter-finish multi-strap sandals (available on Net-a-Porter for USD$1095).

KARA’s Goo Hara, one of the MCs of Dream Concert 2011, was seen in Valentino‘s Embellished silk strapless dress, with an exquisitely embroidered lace and bead-embellished bodice and organza rosettes through the skirt (available on Net-a-Porter for USD$11,000).

IU wore 3.1 Phillip Lim‘s Silk-blend organza and lace dress for the red carpet. Delicately contrasting black lace and nude silk-blend organza give 3.1 Phillip Lim’s dress an elegant contemporary spin (available on Net-a-Porter for USD$895)

T-ara, 4Minute, Sistar and Miss A were all seen in monochromatic mini dresses or black pants outfits with platform heels.

G.Na (Gina Choi) was seen in Gucci‘s black stretch cutout detailed jeweled dress with black platform peep-toes heels (available on Bluefly for USD$2319). With simple accessorizing and gorgeous curled hair, I’m absolutely loving this look on her!

After School, Secret, KARA, Rainbow and 5Dolls were seen in their stage oufits for the red carpet.

BEAST, U-Kiss, TVXQ, and Eru chose black smart suits for the red carpet, while SHINee, F.T. Island and K. Will added some colors and designs to their black smart casual outfits. 2PM, on the other hand, were seen with military-inspired trench coats and boots.
