Kill It Winner Kim Na-ra Shares ELIE SAAB x H&M Bridal Photos 10 Days Before Wedding

Kim Na-ra, the winner of tvN's fashion creator survival show Kill It, posted her first wedding photos on the 20th, ten days before she marries her partner of eight years. The photos were shot in a collection from ELIE SAAB x H&M, and the caption read "My first bridal moment."

The styling is the detail worth reading. Kim wears a pure white, off-the-shoulder gown with short blonde hair, a heavy gold necklace and the tattoo on her shoulder left fully visible. A long veil with embroidered and floral detailing finishes the look, and in one frame she holds a bouquet and looks straight into the camera. Nothing has been softened to fit a bridal template, which is why it holds up as a portrait of her rather than a costume.

She described the gown as classic yet distinctly elegant and glamorous, with a mermaid-fit cut that drapes naturally and a waistline she called beautiful. The veil, in her words, is dramatic in scale, with embroidery and pearl detail. She also noted that the shoot happened on a day of heavy rain, which she said made it more romantic.

In other frames she sits beside her partner, who is dressed in black, on a sofa, and the two laugh under one oversized veil. The contrast of black against white keeps the pair visually balanced.

A matchbox invitation

Kim also showed off the wedding invitation, made in the shape of a matchbox. Its cover tells the couple's story, including a passage about signing a lease on a home together and realizing they were already as good as married. They had, it says, lived like a long-married couple without ever marrying. Friends reacted with surprise, asking if anyone had ever seen a matchstick invitation.

The wedding she put off

Kim announced the plan in the final episode of Kill It in July. Accepting the win, she thanked her girlfriend as her best partner and manager, and said she wanted to hold the wedding they had postponed until now because of money. On social media afterward she called her partner her wife and thanked her for staying up through the whole process. Her partner commented, "Good work! Shall we book a venue?" and Kim replied, "Somewhere with lots of guest seats." The photos suggest the venue question has been settled.
