2NE1 leader and solo artist CL (Chaerin Lee) once again graced the pages of fashion magazine W Korea, and she gave a sneak peek of the exquisite spread on Instagram.

CL uploaded a photo taken from the goth-inspired shoot where she is wearing a black netted veil, a black lace dress and a necklace of layered pearls. But what made the look so captivating was her eye makeup in black and rose colors, which contrasted with her long gray hair.

Fan reactions to the preview photo were mostly positive, with many praising CL's beauty.

"You look like a lady," "What a beautiful smile," "So pretty," said online commenters upon seeing the W Korea photo.

CL and the rest of 2NE1 reunited on stage as a foursome last weekend at the MAMA 2015, but YG Entertainment has clarified that there are so far no plans for a group comeback.

While the group continues its extended break, CL has been concentrating on her solo career. On Dec. 7, she released "Hello Bitches" through Korean music sites following the single's release in the U.S. last month for free via SoundCloud.

"Hello Bitches," has gained positive feedback not only from fans but also from other international artists, such as Justin Bieber "this is dope" with his 71 million Twitter followers after seeing the track's hard-hitting dance performance video.
