2NE1 attend Vogue's Fashion Night Out in Seoul + Dara sports a new pink and blonde hairstyle!

On September 27, the stylish girls of 2NE1 attended Vogue's 'Fashion Night Out' event in Seoul.  It must have been hard not to notice the girls as they made their appearance and even harder to tear your eyes away!  Many Korean news sources quickly gathered around the girls to take a ton of pictures.

Park Bom looked cute and pretty with her usual long hair and bangs. Her one-piece was simple yet unique with its colorful pattern.  Minzy also boasted a very colorful blazer with a mesmerizing orange, pink, and black pattern.  To make sure her blazer stood out but her outfit wasn't too overwhelming, Minzy showed a good sense of fashion by choosing black for the rest of her apparel.

CL looked charismatic as usual with her dark black hair.  Most notably, she was wearing bright red leather pants with a matching jacket casually placed around her shoulders. The black under shirt exposed enough of her skin so that she looked both sexy and classy overall.

Perhaps most notable, however, was Dara sporting a new and attention-grabbing hairstyle!  Her hair had been dyed mostly blonde with some bright, bubble gum pink highlights.  She was also wearing a furry yellow vest with black stripes that bees would undoubtedly envy as it looked incredibly warm--perfect for the chilly fall weather!
