XO Kitty star siblings Sang Heon-Lee and Gia Kim's twinning fashion at Oscars 2025: Fans call them 'power duo'
They dazzled—just a little… or maybe a lot.
XO, Kitty's star siblings, Sang Heon-lee and Gia Kim, who had already infused the hit series with luxe aesthetics, brought their signature fashion-forward flair to the 2025 Oscars, held at Dolby Theatre, Hollywood, California.
Kim graced the red carpet in a breathtaking strapless velvet gown, exuding old Hollywood charm. The dress featured a daring sweetheart neckline, perfectly complemented by a statement gold chain necklace that added a modern edge to the classic silhouette. She completed the look with dangling earrings and a chrome manicure, effortlessly merging timeless elegance with contemporary trends, as noted by Teen Vogue.
Her brother, Sang Heon Lee, was not to be outshined. Embracing a bold yet refined aesthetic, he donned a black three-piece suit with an oversized contemporary silhouette, setting himself apart from the sea of traditional tuxedos. His choice of metallic silver Maison Margiela Tabi shoes added an avant-garde touch, making a statement that resonated with fashion aficionados.
Lee has already gained attention for his standout style in XO, Kitty. His on-screen wardrobe perfectly reflects his character's suave confidence and effortless charm. He seamlessly blended tailored blazers with casual puffer jackets, accessorizing with sleek sunglasses to enhance his laid-back appeal. His take on academia fashion, layering sweaters over button-downs, struck the perfect balance between polished and relaxed. Even his bold red jacket never felt overdone—it was all about controlled, effortless cool.
Naturally, their Oscars fashion set social media abuzz, with fans dubbing them "the ultimate power sibling duo" and raving about their impeccable style. However, not all feedback was glowing—some weren't entirely sold on Lee's longer hairstyle, with a few suggesting he'd look better with a shorter cut.
Regardless of the minor critiques, one thing remains certain: these siblings continue to prove that they're always ahead of the fashion curve—whether on-screen or on the red carpet.
Meanwhile, in other good news for fans, XO Kitty has been renewed for a third season.

Cena and Elba team up for buddy movie ‘Heads of State'
'Heads of State' is not the Cheech & Chong reunion film you've been waiting for, but a comic thriller co-starring John Cena and Idris Elba, premiered on Wednesday on Prime Video. Previously joined in cultural history by the DC super antihero flick 'The Suicide Squad,' the actors have remade their rivalrous characters there into an odd couple of national leaders here, dealing with conspiratorial skulduggery, bullets, bombs and the like. Call me dim, but I wasn't even half aware that Cena, whose muscles have muscles, maintains a long, successful career in professional wrestling — which is, of course, acting — alongside his more conventional show business pursuits; he's ever game to mock himself and not afraid to look dumb, which ultimately makes him look smart, or to appear for all intents and purposes naked at the 2024 Oscars, presenting the award for costume design. (He was winning, too, in his schtick with Jimmy Kimmel.) Elba, whose career includes a lot of what might be called prestige genre, has such natural poise and gravity that one assumes he's done all the Shakespeares and Shaws and Ibsens, but 'The Wire' and 'Luther' were more his thing. He was on many a wish list as the next James Bond, and while that's apparently not going to happen, something of the sort gets a workout here. Elba plays British Prime Minister Sam Clarke, described as 'increasingly embattled' in his sixth year in office, who is about to meet Cena's recently elected American president, Will Derringer, on the eve of a trip to Trieste, Italy, for a NATO conference. (Why Clarke is embattled is neither explained nor important.) Derringer resents Clarke, who can't take him seriously, for having seemed to endorse his opponent by taking him out for fish and chips. (This is a recurring theme.) An international star in the Schwarzenegger/Stallone mold — 'Water Cobra' is his franchise — one might call Derringer's election ridiculous, but I live in a state that actually did elect Schwarzenegger as its governor, twice. Wet behind the ears ('He still hasn't figured out the difference between a press conference and a press junket,' somebody says), Derringer thinks a lot of himself, his airplane, his knowing Paul McCartney and his position. Beyond aspirational platitudes, he has no real politics, but as we first see him carrying his daughter on his shoulders, we know he's really OK. Directed by Ilya Naishuller ('Nobody') and written by Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec and Harrison Query, the movie begins with a scene set at the Tomatino Festival in Buñol, Spain, in which great crowds of participants lob tomatoes at each other in a massive food fight — it's a real thing — foreshadowing the blood that will soon be flowing through the town square, as a team of unidentified bad guys ambush the British and American agents who are tracking them. They've been set up, declares M16 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), who is later reported 'missing and presumed dead' — meaning, of course, that she is very much alive and will be seen again; indeed, we will see quite a lot of her. Meanwhile, the prime minister and the president board Air Force One for Trieste. They talk movies: 'I like actual cinema,' says Clarke, who claims to have never seen one of Derringer's pictures. 'I'm classically trained,' the movie star protests. 'Did you know I once did a play with Edward Norton? But the universe keeps telling me I look cool with a gun in my hand — toy gun.' Following attacks within and without the plane, the two parachute into Belarus and, for the remainder of the film, make their way here and there, trying to evade the private army of Russian arms dealer and sadistic creep Viktor Gradov (Paddy Considine) led by your typical tall blond female assassin (Katrina Durden). They'll also meet Stephen Root as a computer guy and Jack Quaid as a comical American agent. Elsewhere, Vice President Elizabeth Kirk (Carla Gugino) takes charge. ('Bad?' is the note I wrote. I've seen my share of political thrillers.) Tribune News Service
