From South Korean ambassador LE SSERAFIM's Chaewon tp actor Hwang In-youp and Malaysia's Jane Chuck and Sharifah Rose, the guest list is as glittering as the exhibition itself.&nbsp;

Held at XYZ Seoul in the trendy Seongsu district, the event drew a glittering crowd of stars, blending the Austrian House&rsquo;s rich heritage with the contemporary energy of K-pop.

All were styled in Swarovski creations, adding an extra layer of sparkle to the already luminous occasion.
The event kicked off with an intimate pre-party tour of the exhibition, conceptualized by <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/jewellery/swarovski-jewellery-wonder-holiday-campaign-glitzy-season-gifting" title="Swarovski&rsquo;s Celebrate Wonder Holiday Campaign Invites Us to a Glitzy Season of Self-Love" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Swarovski</a>&rsquo;s Global Creative Director Giovanna Engelbert.

The immersive exhibition takes visitors on a visually stunning journey, beginning with Swarovski&rsquo;s origins and leading up to its influence on modern pop icons. Particularly dazzling is the Pop Icon Chamber, which features a range of stage costumes and red-carpet looks worn by global superstars like Harry Styles and <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/beauty/exclusive-celebrity-interview-rihanna-j-adore-fragrance-dior-beauty-campaign-perfume" title="Exclusive Interview! Behind-The-Scenes of Rihanna's J'adore Campaign with Dior Beauty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rihanna</a>. Standing out among these are custom stage outfits from LE SSERAFIM&rsquo;s "CRAZY" music video. Designed in collaboration with Swarovski, these pieces shimmer with intricate crystal embellishments that catch the light with every movement of the group&rsquo;s high-energy choreography.
Another highlight for K-pop fans is the display of crystal-adorned microphones used by LE SSERAFIM during their recent performance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. Each microphone, encrusted with 24,000 Swarovski crystals, was uniquely designed by the group&rsquo;s members, reflecting their individual styles and preferences. The customized designs demonstrate Swarovski&rsquo;s continued relevance in blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary music and fashion culture.
