NewJeans Draws Mixed Reactions Over Group's Latest Outfits and Makeup

Since their surprise debut back in August of this year, rookie girl group NewJeans has been drawing attention for not only their addicting songs, the visuals of each member, but also for their trendsetting fashion.

The group became well-known for their Y2K fashion, often impressing fans for their great mix of modern and nostalgic elements, which earned both NewJeans and their stylists a great deal of praise.

However, in recent days, NewJeans and their stylists are making heads tilt for their rather eccentric fashion choices, as well as for their makeup and hair styles.

Some of the instances that drew NewJeans criticism from netizens was for their outfits when they attended the 2022 The Fact Music Awards (TMA), and more recently the 2022 KCON Japan.

At the TMA, the members were donned in clothing that featured varying patterns. While a chunk of netizens found their outfits at the event creative, and even age-appropriate as the members' ages range from 14 years old to 18 years old in international reckoning, other netizens found that their outfits were too mismatched and outlandish.

Unfortunately, the makeup artist did not explain further who handled the group's styling for 2022 KCON Japan. Some are even speculating that NewJeans was assigned Japanese stylists to give them the popular "Harajuku style."
