Actress Kim Hee-ae radiated elegance at an awards ceremony to present prizes and commendations for promoting Korean culture, which was held in Seoul on Oct. 28.

Among figures in popular culture, this year's top honor was given to Kim, who received a presidential commendation at the annual ceremony along with five others including actor Hyun Bin.

Kim appeared in an elegant black dress with her hair tied up neatly in a ponytail. The simple V-neck dress accentuated her collarbones. She flaunted her slender figure and heightened elegance by matching her finest outfit with black heels decorated with crystal buckles.

The dress was by French luxury womenswear designer Roland Mouret and the shoes by Jimmy Choo.
