As the world began to mitigate the threat of COVID with vaccinations in 2021, employers began to safely roll out return-to-office plans which means a lot of us swapped out our sweatpants for business casual. Suiting was "in" again as we dressed for real life and not just for Zoom calls.
BTS also returned to suiting and appeared at the American Music Awards in Louis Vuitton power suits. The move was a multi-layered flex. Firstly, they all look gorgeous — Bangtan in suiting just hits differently, doesn't it? Secondly, check the label because this is your friendly reminder that the biggest band in the world are also Louis Vuitton ambassadors. Thirdly, this was their post-quarantine return to live performance as they basically turned the AMAs into a BTS concert by performing both "Butter" and "My Universe" alongside Coldplay. Finally, BTS picked up three huge awards that night: Favourite Pop Song, Favourite Pop Duo or Group, and Artist of the Year. Can't wait to see how they top it at the next year's AMAs.
