Ejae brought an updated verison of the office siren aesthetic to American Cinematheque’s Tribute to the Crafts in a pinstriped Mugler tunic styled as a mini dress and sheer tights.

At the organization’s fifth annual Tribute to the Crafts at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles on Friday night, the “KPop Demon Hunters” singer arrived in a black pinstripe tunic from Mugler’s Wardrobe Pre-Collection spring 2026 line, styled as a mini dress. The long-sleeve piece featured strong, squared shoulders, a high funnel neckline and narrow vertical pinstripes. A row of tabs and buckles circled the hem, giving the silhouette a utilitarian finish.

She completed the look with sheer black tights and pointed-toe, ankle-strap pumps. The hosiery-and-heels combo also tracked with the “office siren” formula that’s been circulating on TikTok and in celebrity styling over the past year, where sheer tights and sharp, pointed pumps show up alongside blazers and minis. The aesthetic — sometimes described as “corp-core” — pulls from ’80s- and ’90s-inspired office wear like pencil skirts, tailored jackets and high heels, reworked with a more overtly fashion-forward edge.

The appearance extends a busy awards season run for the artist. Not even a week prior, Ejae joined Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, where “KPop Demon Hunters” won Best Original Song – Motion Picture for “Golden,” co-written and performed by the trio as Huntr/x. The animated film has become one of Netflix’s most-watched titles globally, with its soundtrack single topping charts in multiple countries.

Mugler has already been part of her style, rotation, too: Ejae previously wore a pinstripe Mugler suit during a “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” visit in October 2025.

At the Egyptian Theatre, the brand reappeared in mini-dress form, paired with hosiery and pumps that kept the office siren conversation going into the heart of awards season — on the same night the song “Golden” was honored among the evening’s craft achievements.
