Stray Kids‘ Felix was officially named a global ambassador for French luxury design house Louis Vuitton in August 2023. He was named an ambassador after he caught the eye of the brand’s women’s creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière, at Louis Vuitton’s pre-fall show in Seoul in April 2023.
In a quote that accompanied the announcement, Ghesquière shared he was drawn to Felix’s talent, energy, personality, and style.
It instantly clicked between us. He is really talented. I love his energy, his unique personality, and his audacious sense of style
— Nicolas Ghesquière
Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2024 show during Paris Fashion Week also celebrated Nicolas Ghesquière’s 10th anniversary with the brand.
The event drew a star-studded guest list, including Stray Kids’ Felix, who made his runway debut during the show.
Netizens couldn’t get enough of Felix’s gorgeous visuals and ethereal style, and it was later revealed that his make-up was done by none other than world-renowned makeup artist Pat McGrath.
Pat McGrath shared a backstage photo of the Stray Kids member’s “runway radiance” makeup.
Netizens praised the gorgeous makeup look, leaving comments on Pat McGrath’s Instagram post complimenting her work with Felix and hoping they will work together again in the future.
One fan commented, thanking her for not covering Felix’s freckles. Felix had revealed in the past that he didn’t like his freckles when he was younger and felt insecure about them.
STAYs have been outspoken about their love for his freckles and natural beauty, which Felix shared has helped him love them more.
Because of Felix’s history with his freckles, fans are loving Pat McGrath’s response to the STAY’s comment, replying that Felix’s freckles were “too GORGEOUS to cover.”
Netizens shared their reactions to Pat McGrath’s kind comments about Felix on X (formerly known as Twitter), and shared their love for the Stray Kids’ Felix.
