Proof that looking like a 10/10 on the island doesn’t have to break the bank. I tracked down the must-have dresses from the show—and they’re all at Zara.

Single’s Inferno 5 has officially taken over our screens, and while the romantic sparks between cast members like Park Hee-sun, Kim Go-eun, and Youn Hyun-jae are flying, it’s their wardrobe that is truly stealing the spotlight. Surprisingly, it isn’t just the high-end designer labels catching everyone’s eye this season. The cast has mastered the art of “high-low” styling, making Zara look like pure luxury on the shores of Paradise. From breezy date-night sets to viral summer dresses, let’s dive in and catalog the best Zara pieces featured this season.

1. Choi Mina-sue

Even with her titles as Miss Korea 2021 and Miss Earth 2022, Mina-sue’s most captivating looks this season actually came from Zara. Her tall, model-esque frame makes these Zara essentials look even more expensive than luxury brands. From chic tops to flowy dresses, she has turned “affordable” into “aspirational,” making her wardrobe the ultimate “must-have” list for fans this season.

2. Kim Go-eun

Known as the 2022 Miss Korea runner-up and a successful fashion model, Go-eun also carries the legacy of being the daughter of former national soccer star Kim Hyun-soo. Despite her access to a high-end designer wardrobe, she has surprised fans by frequently reaching for Zara during her time on the island. By mixing her luxury accessories with these affordable “it-girl” pieces, she has perfected a “luxury-on-a-budget” aesthetic that is both inspiring and incredibly easy to recreate.

3. Kim Min-gee

At 29, professional track-and-field athlete Kim Min-gee has stunned viewers with her striking resemblance to aespa’s Karina. While fans have been buzzing about her athletic career and her dramatic “glow-up” transformation, her fashion sense has become the real talk of the town. In the season finale, she chose a sophisticated black Zara midi dress for her final selection. The look was a total hit, perfectly matching Song Seung-il as they walked away together—proving that a classic Zara find can be just as “main character” as any designer gown.

4. Park Hee-sun

As Miss Korea 2024 and a trilingual scholar at Carnegie Mellon University, Park Hee-sun is the ultimate “brainy beauty.” With her background as a cheerleader from middle school through high school, she brings a youthful, energetic charm to the show. Fans have absolutely fallen for her “good girl” aesthetic—a mix of cute, preppy Zara flora dress and sweet ruffles top that perfectly match her bright personality. She proves that you can be a high-achieving student and a fashion icon at the same time.

While the romance of Single’s Inferno plays out on screen, one thing is certain: Zara is the ultimate MVP of the island. From Miss Korea winners to professional athletes, this season’s cast has proven that you don’t need a designer budget to achieve a ‘Paradise-ready’ look. Your next favorite outfit is likely just a Zara store away!
