Mina of TWICE Owns the Cannes Red Carpet: From K-Pop Royalty to Fashion Icon

The Night Mina Took Over Cannes

Mina Myoui did not just show up at the Cannes Film Festival. She made it her moment. At her first appearance at one of the world’s biggest film events, the TWICE star proved what a true global idol can do. She turned the red carpet into a real-life fairytale and brought K-pop to the front of the fashion conversation. Mina represented Asia as the Japanese ambassador for the French luxury jewelry brand Boucheron.

The energy was unreal. You could feel every camera in the place locking in on her.

A Dress That Froze Time

For her main look, Mina wore a strapless black gown that was all about elegance and edge. The dress had a dramatic high-low hem, a bold thigh-high slit, and a flowing train that looked amazing with every step. This was not a basic idol look. It was classic, but with a twist that made her look like a Disney princess in a Wes Anderson movie.

Her hair was pulled back into a low bun, simple and clean, letting her dress and jewelry take the spotlight. The real star of her outfit was the Rosier Question Mark necklace and matching pendant earrings from Boucheron. With glowy, natural makeup, Mina pulled off a look that was both timeless and fresh.

Fans and the press could not stop talking. People said she looked like a black swan, a princess turning into a queen, or even a classic Hong Kong movie star. Mina was trending in every direction.

Scene Stealer, Twice

Later that night, Mina did it again. She switched things up for the Kering Women in Motion Awards and the Cannes Film Festival Presidential Dinner. This time, she showed up in a white, off-shoulder gown that flared out at the bottom. The mermaid-style dress fit her perfectly, and her hair was down in soft waves. Her makeup stayed natural, letting her real self shine. She finished the look with bold Boucheron jewelry, adding just the right amount of drama.

Not Just About Looks—Mina’s Era Is Here

Mina’s Cannes debut was about way more than visuals. She represents a shift in the culture. Here is a Japanese artist, born in Texas, now making headlines in France at one of the biggest film festivals in the world. She was not there for a movie, but her presence said a lot. As a global ambassador for Boucheron and Fendi, she is proof that K-pop idols are playing at the same level as Hollywood stars.

If you paid attention online, you saw every outlet from Vogue to K-pop fan accounts posting about her. Mina’s influence is only growing, and it is not slowing down.

What’s Next for Mina and TWICE?

This was not a one-time thing. TWICE just announced their fourth full-length album, called FOUR, dropping in July. It is their first album since 2021, and the hype is real. Mina stands out as a fashion star, an ambassador, and now a red carpet regular. She is about to level up again, both as a member of TWICE and on her own.

If you are already a fan, you know this is a big moment. If you are new to TWICE, it is time to pay attention. Mina is not just another idol in the group—she is helping set new standards for what K-pop stars can do on the world stage.

Final Thoughts: Main Character Energy

Watching Mina hold her own in a room full of movie legends is honestly inspiring. She represents more than just her group or her label. She shows that music, fashion, and culture can connect anywhere.

Mina looked like a fairytale princess, but she owned her story. For a first-time walk at Cannes, that is as main character as it gets.
