TWICE’s Nayeon is well known for many things, including her music, but her personal style is severely underrated.

The K-pop star’s looks are often a mix of feminine and comfortable pieces, often pulling inspo from Y2K aesthetics. The “ABCD” singer favors bright colors, playful textures and silhouettes that flatter her frame. In short, we trust her taste, and clearly so does Vivaia, an eco-friendly footwear brand founded in 2020. The retailer tapped the K-pop act to star in its spring 2026 collection titled Feel the Comfort.

The girl group member modeled some of her favorite styles, which consisted mostly of Mary Jane-meets-ballet-flat styles and whimsical sneakers in various colors with feminine and edgy touches. In specific, Nayeon wore the brand’s Square-Toe Jogger Sneakerina retailing for $159, the Square-Toe Hybrid Mesh Mary Janes retailing for $149, the Square-Toe Margot™ Mary Jane 3.0 retailing for $139 and the Mesh Floral Square-Toe Mary Janes for $149. You can shop her picks below and on Vivaia’s website.

Think of this like a mix between a sneaker and a ballet flat. The style is affixed with silky ribbon lace-up closures.

This style is another ballet flat but with lace-up detailing. It also comes with charms that you can attach and alternative laces.


When asked, “What does comfort mean to you?” Nayeon responded in a statement saying, “When I am being my true self.” One of our favorite styles is the Square-Toe Hybrid Mesh Mary Janes in a tan hue with red accents. The shoe features all-round mesh paneling, making them breathable, along with dainty lace-up closures and a playful bubble sole. This style also comes with interchangeable red laces, which Nayeon chose for the campaign, along with floral charms in matching hues that can be attached to your laces to change things up. Sizing is available from 5 through 9.

Another great option is the Mesh Floral Square-Toe Mary Janes that feature see-through mesh throughout and floral accents. Fun fact: The mesh uppers are made with recycled plastic bottles. The shoe has gold clasps to adjust the fit and square toes that Vivaia seems to incorporate in a bunch of its shoe creations. Again, this silhouette is see-through, but you can wear socks with them, which could be a fun stylistic choice if you don a fun print or color.

This was said to be one of Nayeon’s favorite styles. These ballet flats feature mesh paneling with floral adornments.


All of Vivaia’s footwear focuses on on-trend silhouettes with an emphasis on comfort. The brand’s mission of comfort meets style came from a singular question: “Why can’t heels, and all women’s shoes, have a sneaker-like comfort?” Each of its shoes is equipped with padded insoles to provide ultimate comfort. The retailer even has wide-foot-friendly designs, creating a more inclusive range for people to shop.

Angelina Jolie’s Daughter Shiloh Makes Surprise Cameo in Dayoung’s ‘What’s a Girl to Do’ Music Video: Watch

Published

Shiloh Jolie is making a surprise appearance in Dayoung’s upcoming music video.

On Thursday (April 2), the K-pop singer shared a teaser for her forthcoming video “What’s a Girl to Do,” and fans were surprised to spot a cameo from Jolie, the 19-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Shiloh briefly appears in the 30-second clip, sporting slicked-back hair, a lacy brown top, hoop earrings and a lip ring. She is also seen in a choreographed sequence, where numerous dancers surround Dayoung as a pulsating beat plays in the background.

The “What’s a Girl to Do” teaser ends with the message, “She makes the first move,” as the April 7 release date appears in the background.

Shiloh was cast in the video as part of an “open audition” in the U.S., a representative from Starship Entertainment told Maeil Business Newspaper Star Today.

“We held an open audition in the United States of America (US) to cast performers for Dayoung’s music video,” the rep told the outlet. “Among those who took part were several performers affiliated with a dance crew called ‘Culture.'”

The agency insists Jolie’s casting wasn’t a PR stunt.

“Shiloh was selected in the final round and ended up joining Dayoung’s music video,” the representative added. “Even after filming, we had no idea she was the child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and only found out by chance quite recently.”

After the teaser was released, many fans took notice of Shiloh’s resemblance to her famous mother. “Holy s—t, mamma’s good genes are sooooo strong,” one person wrote on X. “It’s the eyes and the lips for me,” another wrote. “Pure Angelina energy.”

This isn’t the first time Shiloh has demonstrated her talent in front of the camera. In May 2024, choreographer Lil Kelaan Carter shared a video on Instagram of the teenager dancing solo to “Tanzania” by Uncle Waffles and Tony Duardo, featuring Sino Msolo and Boibizza.

“Her movement is crazy … Thank you for your energy @sh1lohj,” Carter captioned the clip.

Basa was born in Zaire (now Congo) to a Rwandan family, but spent his childhood in Iowa after his father entered the graduate studies program at the University of Iowa; he then relocated to Zimbabwe as a teenager. During his tenure at YouTube, which he joined in 2018 as director of urban music, Basa became known for spotlighting African artists, including Nigerian star Burna Boy, and helping fuel their growth in the U.S.

Initially harboring aspirations to start a rap career under the name B.2ma B., Basa eventually pivoted to the executive track and landed music programming roles at BET, MTV and REVOLT. In 2015, he joined Spotify, where he served as global programming head of hip-hop. While at the streaming giant, he rose to prominence in part for curating the service’s popular Rap Caviar playlist.

Billboard reached out to YouTube for comment on Basa’s departure.

Yes Postpones European ‘Fragile’ Tour as Guitarist Steve Howe Prepares for ‘Essential Operation’

Published

Yes is postponing their European tour so that guitarist Steve Howe can undergo an “essential operation.”

The English progressive rock band took to social media on Thursday (April 2) to announce that the group is delaying the 11-date Fragile tour of Europe to allow Howe time to recover from an undisclosed surgery.

“The upcoming YES ‘Fragile’ UK and EU Tour, due to commence on 22nd April, has had to be postponed as guitarist Steve Howe requires an essential operation that requires recovery time,” Yes wrote on Instagram. “This decision has been made to ensure that Steve can return to the stage in full health and deliver the performances that fans deserve.”

The European leg of the tour was originally scheduled to begin on April 22 at Scotland’s Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and was set to feature a full performance of the band’s 1971 album, Fragile. The tour follows a North American leg, which took place in 2025.

Yes added, “We are working hard to reschedule the UK and EU shows to a later date, with full details to be announced after Easter. Please retain your tickets as they will be valid for the rescheduled dates.”

The band concluded their statement, “Tour dates currently being arranged for later in 2026 will proceed as planned. Steve Howe and YES would like to thank their UK fans and hope for their continued support at this time.”

Released in November 1971, Fragile was Yes’s fourth album and the third they released within a 16-month span. It became the group’s most successful release up to that point, building on the success of The Yes Album, which had reached No. 40 on the Billboard 200. Fragile would peak at No. 4, surpassed only by Close to the Edge the following year.

Of the original lineup that recorded Fragile, only Howe remains an active member. Drummer Bill Bruford left the group in 1992, while vocalist Jon Anderson and keyboardist Rick Wakeman departed in 2004. Bassist Chris Squire stayed with the band until his passing in 2015.
