Runway meets stadium in BTS’s custom luxury looks for Arirang

When BTS took over the Stade de France for the Paris leg of their Arirang world tour, the septet delivered far more than a stadium concert – they staged a masterclass in global high fashion. The iconic venue became an international runway as the world's top luxury houses created bespoke stage wardrobes tailored to each member's unique persona

J-Hope delivered a visual feast of texture and shine through his Louis Vuitton partnership, with custom stage outfits that perfectly matched his electrifying energy. His looks ranged from a sleek, hand-embroidered black crocodile leather suit to a dazzling champagne-toned jacket encrusted with Swarovski crystals, closing the set in a commanding all-black silhouette of a sweeping leather trench coat, pleated wool trousers and LV Remix ankle boots.

Embodying a hauntingly elegant aura under the stadium lights, Jimin captivated the audience in an ethereal custom ensemble crafted by the house of Dior. The showstopping look seamlessly fused classic French military court attire with modern gothic rock, anchored by a double-breasted coat adorned with intricate embroidery and signature CD-engraved metal buckles. Styled over a sharp military shirt and black pants, his flowing platinum blonde hair completed a dramatic, aristocratic stage presence that felt truly unforgettable.

Channeling a deconstructed, bohemian-chic energy that felt both effortless and rebellious, Jin stepped out in an all-black custom creation by Gucci. His ensemble featured a plush black top detailed with intentional distressing and delicate fringe, paired with subtly wide-leg trousers and a layered waist chain. The tactile contrast between the soft, distressed velvet and the sparkling hardware created a moody, romantic street-luxury aesthetic that perfectly complemented his vocals.

Taking the stage in an edgy, high-octane aesthetic, Jung Kook commanded the crowd in exclusive custom creations designed personally by Balenciaga’s Pierpaolo Piccioli. Reimagining key elements from the house's Autumn '26 and Spring '27 collections across three distinct concert chapters, the looks blended signature oversized silhouettes with Jung Kook’s magnetic personal style. To mark the occasion, Balenciaga also unveiled a limited-edition merch drop featuring the exact distressed, stone-washed hoodies and tees worn by Jung Kook on stage, complete with house branding, his "JK" initials, the tour cities and a bold "26" graphic.

Exuding a strong, modern presence on stage, RM showcased a starkly different take on all-black tailoring with a custom Gucci leather ensemble. He rocked a sharply cut black leather jacket paired with matching leather trousers, relying entirely on the subtle play between matte and gloss finishes to create visual depth.

Suga in Givenchy

Adding a layer of rich texture and dark glamour to the lineup, Suga performed in a bespoke, heavily beaded suit engineered by Givenchy. Covered in dense, light-catching beadwork that glimmered with every move across the runway, the tailored set balanced traditional French atelier hand-embroidery with a sharp, modern edge.
