South Korean actress Moon Ga Young has been criticized on social media for wearing a lace and satin slip dress to the airport that many netizens felt was too revealing for everyday wear.

The incident came as Moon set off for an overseas itinerary, said to be traveling to a Dolce & Gabbana brand event in Indonesia.

Her attire—a "slip dress" described on the fashion designer's website—immediately caused a stir, going viral with well over 55,000 hits within hours of images being posted online.

Moon combined the dainty dress with a bomber jacket and knee-high boots to complete a daring and unorthodox look that soon became the subject of trending discussion.

She was wearing a Dolce & Gabbana outfit, famous for its racy, runway-type designs.

Most netizens theorized that her choice of clothes was inspired by the model on the company's official website.

Even if the style intention was fashion-forward, the Korean netizen reaction was generally disapproving.

A netizen posted on the Korean forum theqoo, looking confused:
"Her makeup and outfit style don't match. Regardless of it being pretty, it doesn't suit her."

Another user offered a blunt take, "Those are just pajamas..."

The outfit's similarity to lingerie stirred even more frustration.
"It really is a slip dress... she really went to the airport wearing just that?" wrote one commenter.

Some questioned the outfit's role in her career trajectory, "It's interesting that she still isn't popular even with things like this..."

Others directly criticized the styling choice, "Why is she wearing underwear as outdoor clothes?"

Another netizen wondered if the problem was Moon herself or the outfit:"I don't know if she just can't pull it off or if the outfit is just weird... I always see her on the 'fashion worsts' list."

This criticism continues the public backlash that has been afflicting South Korean celebrities, particularly when it comes to fashion and appearance. Although some fans came to her defense as high fashion, most were not having it.

To date, Moon Ga Young has said nothing publicly on the critique.
