Name: Melody Tan
Age: 17
Occupation: Student
Her fit: “I got my dress and belts from Shopee, and my shoes from Charles & Keith. My necklace is from Lovisa.”
Inspiration behind the fit: “I drew inspiration from the whole dominATE concept. I wanted to follow the red and black theme and give my outfit an edgy, rock-and-roll vibe, much like the music from their albums.”
Her favourite Stray Kids song: “Definitely MIXTAPE: TIME OUT. I love that song because it has a very nice and relaxing feel. The song includes their real laughter, which makes it sound super authentic. The lyrics are also really great, like ‘go let the stress fly away, don’t worry about tomorrow, so we’ll just have some fun right now.’ It just makes me want to enjoy life without any worries!”
Why opted to study apparel design: “Since I was young, I always loved drawing outfits and dreamed of starting my own line one day. I would ask my mother to buy those 'draw your own outfit' books and colour them in to create my own collections. As I grew older, I began envisioning my own runway, where models would walk in my creations, and I’d come out last, waving to everyone. I’ve also been inspired by fashion designers like Alexander McQueen, Iris Van Herpen, and Vivienne Westwood, which further fueled my passion for fashion.”
Name: Anthea Chng
Age: 24
Occupation: Kindergarten teacher and dancer
Her fit: “My top is from Cara Club, a Vietnamese brand. My necklace, clips, skirt, stockings, leg warmers, arm warmers, and shoes are all from Taobao.”
Inspiration behind the fit: “I wanted to mix street style with rebellious and grunge elements inspired by the dominATE tour concept. While incorporating those elements, I also aimed for a girly look, so I chose a pink jersey with lace details and a poofy skirt with metal accents for contrast.”
Her personal style: “My style varies depending on the day, my mood, and any specific events I’m dressing for. I think my style allows me to shine more during leisure events like concerts, as my job can be quite restrictive. Every concert feels like a dress-up occasion for me. Right now, I’m gravitating towards a lot of pink and feminine pieces, but I love pairing them with contrasting elements like boots or chain necklaces.”
Her favourite Stray Kids choreography: “My favourite Stray Kids choreography that I've covered with my dance team is the one for CASE 143! I really enjoy the dance, as it has a cute concept. I’ll also be covering Chk Chk Boom soon, and that choreography was a lot of fun to learn too.”
Name: Chui Ying Hui
Age: 29
Occupation: Waiter
Her fit: “My top is from Codegraphy. My bag is from Uniqlo, my hat is from a brand called F4NF4N, and my necklace is from a Hong Kong brand called Blue Monday 2.5.”
Inspiration behind her fit: “My outfit for this concert was inspired by my hat, which resembles one of Felix's looks from the album. The top is actually the same one that Felix wore in one of their videos, and it’s perfect for the Singapore weather. With merchandise featuring Felix’s mascot, BBOKARI, an angel wing hairpin, and various silver accessories, I hope everyone who sees me will know who my favourite member is.”
Her Stray Kids bias “My bias is Felix because I admire his sunny personality and his courage to try different styles. Although I’m a girl, I like to dress in a more masculine style. Sometimes I wonder if it’s still appropriate for me to do this as I get older. I was shocked when I first saw Felix's long hair; that’s when I truly began to understand the concept of unisex fashion. His love and support have encouraged me to embrace my true self.”
Full Name: Esther Chng
Age: 19
Occupation: Student
Her fit: “My top is from Taobao, and my skirt was bought from a store in Hong Kong. I got my shoes from Carousell.”
Inspiration behind the fit: “For my outfit, I took inspiration from Japanese fashion and from the outfit LiSa wore in the music video for Social Path, a collaboration between Stray Kids and LiSa. I wanted to follow the red and black theme, so I wore mostly black. I decided to wear my Kana Arima wig, which is already red, and put in my red contacts too. Funnily enough, LiSa also had short red hair in the music video!”
Her personal style: “I would describe my style as dark, Japanese-inspired, with punk-influenced streetwear and a hint of lolita.”
Her favourite Stray Kids song: “It has to be Social Path, as they collaborated with the singer LiSa for it. When I listen to the song, I relate to the lyrics. To get to where I am today, I had to sacrifice relaxation and childhood games for my studies. Even though the path I took was draining and filled with hardships –especially since I'm not the smartest student, and I faced doubts from friends in the past – I’m happy that I ended up in a place that has been my dream since I was young.”
Name: Wan Jing

My lightstick is a freebie from Haidilao, and my keychain plushies are from Miniso.”
Inspiration behind the fit: “I drew inspiration from the red, black, and chrome patterns on the World Tour Banner for DominATE. I love fashion and wanted to experiment, so I sketched an outfit that aligns with the concert theme. I also searched for chrome accessories on Pinterest, inspired by the fortune cookie packaging from the DominATE album.”
Her favourite Stray Kids song: “My favourite is 미제 (Untitled) by I.N and Hyunjin. The song resonates deeply with my life journey, capturing the ups and downs of relationships. It reminds me of overcoming hardships, which is why I love it so much.”
On what got her into makeup: “I didn't know much about makeup until I joined a hip-hop performance group in secondary school. My interest grew as I started cosplaying in 2020. I later joined the Makeup Artistry Club in polytechnic, where I learned various techniques for K-pop concept shoots and online photography.”
