Attending Bottega Veneta’s Spring/Summer 2026 show on September 27, RM, the leader and rapper of BTS, embodied the brand’s elegance with a contemporary edge.
Fashion weeks are known for the drama and bold moments, and this season BTS leader Kim Namjoon, known as RM, stole the spotlight from the star-studded attendees in Milan on September 27. This was RM’s one of the first high-profile appearances since completing military service. The rapper proved once again that his sense of style carries as much weight as his beat. The comfy yet fashionable look caught everyone’s eyes.
RM stuns at Milan Fashion Week
Attending Bottega Veneta’s Spring/Summer 2026 showcase on September 27, RM oozed the brand’s elegance with a modern twist. RM became the first-ever global ambassador of Bottega Veneta in 2023. He went for a monochromatic look with a beige crewneck paired with matching straight-leg trousers. Layered necklaces, chunky rings, and sleek shoes elevated the fit, while his freshly dyed platinum blond hair added an edgy pop to the whole look.
‘Main Event’: ARMYs react
For long-time followers, this was a full-circle moment. RM first represented Bottega Veneta in February 2023 before enlisting, and fans were thrilled to see him return to the fashion stage, this time with more confidence and flair. One fan posted on X, “kind reminder: in 2023, RM was announced as the first ever brand ambassador of bottega veneta. not first kpop idol, not first asian musician, but FIRST EVER. RM x BOTTEGA VENETA”
