aespa’s Karina once again proved her global beauty status, drawing widespread attention at Milan Fashion Week — and earning rare praise for looking flawless even in unfiltered Getty Images photos.

Her appearance immediately captured attention both at the venue and online, with fans and fashion watchers praising her striking visuals.
“Even Getty Can’t Dim Her Beauty”
Karina’s official Getty Images photos quickly went viral, sparking admiration from netizens who noted how effortlessly she stood out in candid, high-definition shots — a format famously known for revealing every detail.
Online reactions poured in, with comments such as,
“She looks elegant and delicate at the same time,”

Prada Look Showcases Elegant Minimalism
In the released images, Karina wore a coordinated look from Prada’s 2026 S/S ready-to-wear collection, pairing a structured black dress with a blue-toned shirt detail, along with accessories and shoes from the same season.
