If your day is in need of a little extra sparkle, Stray Kids have got you covered. The group’s latest single, “특(S-Class),” is all about embracing your inner shine and celebrating the things that make you, well, you. SKZ released their third studio album, 5-Star, on June 2 along with the music video for “S-Class,” and the visual is full of elaborate set pieces, action-packed sequences (CGI tentacle monster, anyone?), and fashion and beauty looks that highlight the group’s bold propensity to mix and match.
Fans of Stray Kids already know that these record-breakers don’t play by anyone else’s rules, and “S-Class” exhibits the group’s willingness to experiment with sounds, textures, and overall song structure. It’s a bit dizzying on first listen, a serpentine medley of thrumming bass, ’90s boom bap, and squelching synths. That’s exactly what makes Stray Kids so exciting; you never know what you’re going to get, only that it’s going to take you on a unique ride.
As a group that likes to play outside of conventional lines, Stray Kids also like to have fun with their style. From custom velour tracksuits to distressed denim to glitter pants, “S-Class” delivers some seriously special fashion moments. Below, we dive deep into eight standout looks from the music video:

It sure looks like Hyunjin is Versace’s latest muse. Not only did the dancer recently snap a pic with Donatella Versace herself at the launch of Dua Lipa’s “La Vacanza” collection in Cannes, but he’s also been spotted wearing various Versace pieces in recent months, and this MV is no exception. In “S-Class,” he dresses up a burnt orange velour tracksuit with a studded black Versace Goddess t-shirt and a Barocco silk scarf tied at the waist. (You’ll see him in several other Versace looks in the video.)
The studs add a bit of thematically appropriate shimmer, but the playful combination of textiles and textures is what really makes this look shine. His peach-colored hair is just the cherry on top. (And, no, we didn’t forget about Muppet Hyunjin, who makes a much-too-brief appearance.)
