K-Pop superstar Jaehyun from the group NCT attended Prada’s summer 2025 menswear show held in Milan during Milan Fashion Week today. Other notable attendees included fellow K-Pop star Sana from Twice, Matt Bomer, Venus Williams, Joe Alwyn and Woo Seok Byeon, among others.
Sat front row, the singer sported a pair of chunky Monolith brushed leather boots hailing from the Italian designer brand. Retailing for $1,470, the ankle-length style featured elasticized high-shine brushed leather uppers, chunky platform-esque rubber lug soles and logo detailing. The rugged silhouette is futuristic and dynamic, updating the ankle-length lug sole style with striking detailing. The boot silhouette offered Jaehyun’s ensemble a grungy touch, diversifying his otherwise neutral and minimalistic ensemble.
Prada features a variety of Monolith styles, from loafers and Chelsea boots to lace-up oxfords and boots fitted with zip-up compartments. The line is a favorite of many celebrities and K-Pop idols alike, including Chrissy Teigen, NCT, Nina Dobrev, Hunter Schafer, Lori Harvey and Keith Urban, among others.
Offering his take on a Canadian tuxedo, the “Try Again” singer wore a denim-on-denim look in a dark wash. The star’s ensemble was comprised of an oversized denim jacket and matching baggy jeans fitted with silver metal button closures. Rounding out his look, Jaehyun wore black sunglasses.
