2NE1 is ~Coming Back Home~! Here’s How to Slay Their Iconic Looks at the Manila Concert

Where are my Blackjacks at?

If you somehow missed the memo, 2NE1 is making a comeback concert—and they’re hitting Manila! YG Entertainment originally dropped the bomb that the legendary second-gen K-Pop ~kweens~ will be bringing their "Welcome Back" Tour here for a one-night-only show on November 16, 2024. But guess what? Due to the insane demand, they added a second date—November 17, 2024! 

That’s right, Filipino Blackjacks, you now get two nights of straight-up 2NE1 magic with CL, Dara, Bom, and Minzy. This comeback concert really is it. “It’s been a long time coming, but we’re here now,” as the “FIRE” lyrics go. This is *the* fulfillment of a dream to see these legends on one stage again. No more prayer circles, no more wishful thinking, it’s finally happening. Thank you, Beyoncé!

With just a month left until the concert of the year, have you started prepping yet? We’ve got you covered with a list of DOs and DON’Ts when attending concerts, so definitely check that out. But let’s talk about another important thing: what are you wearing?! Comfort is key, but let’s be real—this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. So why not go all out and dress like your fave 2NE1 member?

Here’s how you can slay your 2NE1-inspired look!

Dress up like the “Baddest Female,” 2NE1 leader CL

Channel your inner leader with CL’s oversized jackets, chunky platform leather boots, mini skirts, and bold prints that make a statement. Her IG feed is ripe with dark colors, which she manages to accentuate with colorful accessories or her signature bright lippies.

Bom, the queen of chic and glam, is known for slaying mini dresses paired with thigh-high boots. Much like CL, she often sticks to a sleek black-and-white color palette, as seen on her Instagram feed. Bom seems to fancy hoop earrings too, which add another layer of sophistication to her glam rock and head-turning outfits.
