Wang Yibo's outfit for Paris Fashion Week is drawing attention for looking like... a feather duster!
On June 22, 2024, Wang Yibo attended Paris Fashion Week, specifically watching Loewe's fashion show. For the event, Wang Yibo sported a black jacket layered over a denim shirt. Hanging on the denim shirt were pieces of bright pink, orange, yellow, and blue fabric.

The shirt is a one-of-a-kind piece from Loewe's Autumn/Winter 2024 collection. As it is one-of-a-kind, the items will not be produced again, nor is it up for sale.
Only now I noticed that the colors of Yibo's clothes perfectly match the official colors of the event (invitations!). So not only is this outfit one of a kind, very original, but it is also a representation of a Loewe event! Wow! 🔥

The idol-actor's look drew mixed reactions from netizens. The avant-garde look received some compliments, who claimed it was fashionable and innovative.
Others, however, were not as receptive to Wang Yibo's look. Some claimed that the array of fabrics resembled a feather duster, a toilet-cleaning brush, and even capteh (feathered shuttlecock). Others joked that it reminded them of their childhoods, as it resembled household items their parents used to discipline them as children.
Some netizens speculated that Wang Yibo was not fond of the item either. They pointed out that Wang Yibo was not pictured smiling at the event and donned a sour expression.
