On October 27, V posted several photos on his social media along with a short caption: “I came to Vogue safely.”

In the released photos, V exudes an unrivaled aura, wearing a clαѕѕic gray long coat paired with a fedora. Around his waist, a red traditional knot adds an artistic touch, creating an exquisite harmony between Eastern and Western aesthetics — amplifying V’s signature sense of sophistication and uniqueness.
His intense gaze and subtle facial expressions further evoke the mood of a scene straight out of a clαѕѕic film.

Fans flooded the comments with praise, saying, “He’s not a person, he’s a work of art,” “He’s the definition of a fashion pictorial,” “The perfect intersection of clαѕѕic and modern trends,” and “When V wears it, it becomes history.”

His flawless appearance was not only praised by global fans but also highly acclaimed by the fashion industry and media alike. Vogue ѕιиgαρσяє noted that “thv made a stylish appearance that celebrated his кσяєαn roots” while Vogue кσяєα mentioned "Was this what a modern boy from the 1900s would have looked like? V made a stunning appearance at “2025 Vogue World: Hollywood.”" And numerous international outlets reported on the dashing look of “the world’s most handsome man.”

Many celebrities and Hollywood elites attended the event, yet the spotlight seemed to shine directly on the BTS superstar. Naturally, most of the stars at the fashion gala couldn’t take their eyes off him. He was seen sitting in the front row between renowned actors Dakota Johnson and Cynthia Erivo, engaging in friendly conversation with them.

Fans also noticed Anna Wintour keeping her hand on V’s arm, Conan Gray approaching to give him a hug, and Lizzo coming over to take a picture with him. There were countless moments that made fans swoon, saying he looked just like a Hollywood prince.

But one particular photo sent ARMYs into a frenzy today — a shot released by none other than Getty Images. Not because it exposed any flaw, but because of a visible lipstick mark on V’s cheek.

In the photo, V is seen chatting with an early-days ARMY who first met him when she was 15. Now, she’s a well-known gown designer invited to the event by Vogue. The lipstick mark wasn’t from the girl in the picture — as she herself revealed in her Instagram post about this moment. They only talked and took a selfie together.

Upon closer inspection, fans noticed there seemed to be more than one shade of lipstick on his cheek, suggesting that even female celebrities at the event “loved giving him cheek kisses” as a sign of affection and admiration.

While cheek-kissing is a common greeting among Westerners, ARMYs couldn’t help but feel a little jealous — jokingly “investigating” who left the marks, some crying in mock despair while others leaving playful comments like:

- the lipstick stain on his cheekies. i just know women loves giving him cheek kisses. taehyung, you are so loved.
