Back to this week's feature!
Minnie is famous as a member of the impactful girl group (G)I-DLE. They are known for their trendiness, self-expression, and performance power. Minnie is also known for her extreme charisma and incredible vocals.
Firstly, (G)I-DLE's Minnie is hauntingly beautiful. She has the kind of ethereal visuals that stay in your mind for a long time as you appreciate them.
Her facial features are full and striking, adding charm to her face. Her eyes are magnetic and draw you into them, too.
One of the things that sets Minnie's visuals apart is how much potential she has to be a high fashion model. It would be amazing to see her try a number of experimental fashion looks, because she would rock them so well.
Her recent photoshoot for MAPS Magazine is the perfect example of how well she pulls off more unique fashion looks.
She has done a number of stunning pictorials for Harper's BAZAAR, too.
Minnie has a lot of visual duality as she can pull off softer/delicate looks and full glam, too. Whether it is a hardcore look or a pretty glow, Minnie can model it all.
One of the reasons why (G)I-DLE's Minnie has so much modeling potential is her styling even when she is offstage. She has such an amazing fashion sense and it translates to her regular casual wear/photos. Minnie is truly a fashion icon.
She will have you adding her photos to your fashion inspiration for reference.
The photos she posts on Instagram scream 'fashion it girl'.
Minnie can also pull off virtually any hairstyle/color. This gives her a lot of versatility for various fashion looks.
Lastly, let's take a moment for how gorgeous she looks in black and white photos.
These are only a few of the reasons she could totally be a full-time model.
If you knew nothing about K-Pop or (G)I-DLE, Minnie would definitely seem like a model at first glance. Do you agree?
