Stray Kids’ I.N captivates as the December 2025 cover star of Cosmopolitan Korea, in a shoot highlighting his role as global ambassador for luxury Italian jeweler Damiani. The pictorial channels elegance and warmth through a minimalist yet festive lens, spotlighting Damiani’s Belle Époque, Margherita, and Mimosa collections, set against South Korea’s stylish winter backdrop.​

Editorial and Backstory

This shoot marks a significant milestone for I.N, noted for his humility and professionalism on set. It celebrates the culmination of his breakthrough year, with Cosmopolitan Korea dubbing the cover the “dazzling finale to 2025”. I.N’s glow reflects his rising global influence, a fact underscored by his recent appearance on large billboards throughout Seoul. His reflections on this surreal achievement reveal his deep gratitude and personal growth through music and fashion, embodying the balance of creativity and grounded humility that defines his persona.​

Fashion and Styling

The styling artfully mixes understated luxury with modern sophistication. In the main images, I.N wears sharply tailored coats and knits in muted tones, expertly accessorized with Damiani’s sparkling jewelry collections that add texture and shine without overwhelming. The pictorial leans into clean lines and soft layering, with visual motifs that evoke winter’s serene yet vibrant essence.​

Hair and Makeup

I.N’s hair styling embraces a natural yet polished aesthetic—softly tousled with subtle highlights that catch the light, enhancing his youthful yet refined appearance. Makeup is restrained and fresh, focusing on enhancing his clear complexion and bright eyes: natural brows, a touch of warm shadow, and a soft matte lip. This approach highlights his natural charm while maintaining the editorial’s elegant tone.
