aespa's Ningning reveals her Cannes dress was so heavy it felt like 'carrying the weight of a whole other person'

aespa's Ningning opened up about her dress at the 76th Cannes Film Festival last month.

Ningning, Karina, and Winter guested on the June 10 KST episode of JTBC's hit variety program 'Knowing Bros,' where they discussed a variety of topics, including their stunning red carpet looks from the event. The group made waves after becoming the first K-pop group to attend the renowned film festival together. The girl group, who was invited by the French jeweler Chopard, walked the red carpet at the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière, ahead of the official screening of 'The Pot-Au-Feu' on May 24.

While attending the event, Ningning became the very first artist in the world to wear a certain dress by Italian luxury brand Versace, and during her 'Knowing Bros' appearance, she opened up about just how deceptively difficult the dress was to wear.

"It was a really precious and valuable dress so it was heavy and had to be carried in by three or four people," she described. "Even when I wore it, it really felt like I was carrying a whole other person with me. It was so heavy."

Karina also explained just how expensive the dresses and jewelry worn for the event were, adding, "They said if they combined all of us, [our outfits] are probably worth several hundred billion won [tens of millions USD]."

This includes Karina's $1.2 million rubellite and diamond necklace from Chopard, which featured a 123.24 ct pear-shaped rubellite. During the 'Knowing Bros' episode, Karina surprised the panel by admitting the necklace she was originally meant to wear for the event was valued at $4.7 million. However, it was sold to someone the day before.
