Actress Kim Yoo-jung walked the runway wearing a delicately decorated dress made of chocolate during a fashion show at the inauguration of the annual Salon du Chocolat in Paris on Tuesday.
For the show, fashion designers and chocolatiers combined their creativity to design unique pieces of art including life-sized chocolate dresses such as a magnificently detailed milk chocolate robe that Kim wore for the closing stage.
Stephane Bonnat, a chocolatier who created the dress in collaboration with designer Valerie Pache, said the hardest part of designing a dress made of chocolate was finding harmony between the texture of the chocolate and the movement of the dress.
“Chocolate is supposed to be rigid and melt at the temperature of the body. We have some tricky things to do so the models are not stuck,” Bonnat said in an interview with Reuters.
The yearly trade fair for the international chocolate industry, supported by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, started in 1994.
Meanwhile, the teenge actress recently starred in MBC’s drama "May Queen" and has appeared in dramas such as "The Moon that Embraced the Sun" and "Gyebaek."

김유정, 안방극장 넘어 파리 런웨이 도전
아역배우 김유정이 파리에서 열린 ‘제18회 살롱 뒤 쇼콜라’에서 아름다운 자태를 뽐냈다.
30일 밤(현지시각) 파리 포르트 드 베르사유 컨벤션 센터에서 열린 이번 행사에서 김유정은 단아한 흰색 예복에 밀크 초코릿을 입힌 웅장한 꽃무늬 장식을 덧입고 패션쇼의 마지막 무대를 빛냈다.
패션 디자이너 발레리 파체와 공동작업을 진행한 쇼콜라티에(초콜릿 제조자) 스테판 보넷은 초코릿을 사용해 옷을 디자인 할 때 가장 힘든 점은 초코릿의 결과 드레스의 움직임이 함께 조화를 이루도록 하는 것이었다고 말했다.
“초콜릿은 인간의 신체 온도에선 녹아버리지만 (드레스로 만들기 위해서는) 단단해야 했다. 초콜릿이 모델의 몸에 달라붙지 않게 만들 방법을 이제 찾았다.”고 보넷이 말했다.
이 행사는 1994년부터 초콜릿 산업의 성장을 위해 프랑스 외교부의 지원을 받아 매년 열리고 있다.
한편, 김유정은 최근 MBC 드라마 ‘메이퀸’에 출연했으며, 인기드라마 ‘해를 품은 달’과 ‘계백’에서도 연기를 펼친 바 있다.
