The K-drama family of super-strong women returns in Strong Girl Nam-soon with more power–and even chicer outfits. Case in point: One character steering the sartorial ship is Kim Jung Eun’s Hwang Geum Ju, who not only possesses super strength, but a formidable designer wardrobe of her own, too.
As the long-lost CEO mom of Kang Nam-soon, Geum Ju boasts a closet full of recognizable names in the land of luxury. Below, see what the character has been sporting so far!
Jacquemus, Cartier, and Chanel
In episode one “Birth of a Strong Girl,” audiences are treated to the first glimpse of Hwang Geum Ju. As a stellar preview to the rest of her designer wardrobe, the CEO makes her way into a scene decked out in at least three different luxury names.
One moment sees her as a refreshing green sight in a lime green Bari dress from Jacquemus, detailed by cutouts on its sides. Meanwhile, she went for classics with her accessories in a modern spin–this includes the quintessential Chanel flap bag in green caviar, and Cartier’s Maillon Panthere necklace, featuring the brand’s iconic panther symbol.

Chanel seems to be one of Geum Ju’s closet staples, as the CEO mom wears another piece from the French luxury house. The second episode “Gangnam, Here I Come” has the character don a purple tweed jacket quintessential to the brand, straight from its Spring/Summer 2022 collection.

During episode two, Geum Ju also shows off her penchant for Dior. Dressed in all-black, the character carries the iconic Lady Dior bag as she struts down in one scene, with the piece rendered in its plush yet small iteration.

A subtle yellow was the choice color of Geum Ju during one scene with her daughter Nam-soon. The super-strong mom opted for a mustard shade in an episode four moment, as Geum Ju was clothed in a cutout knit dress from the New York-based brand RVN.
