Haute Couture is MISAMO's second Japanese mini album, released November 6, 2024 via Warner Music Japan — delayed from its original October 30 date due to production issues. The album's concept centers on haute couture fashion as a metaphor, drawing a parallel between the hands-on craft of master dressmakers and the members' artistry. The ten-track album features "Identity" as the lead single (pre-released October 28) and "New Look" as the sub-title track (pre-released October 9) — a cover of the 2008 Namie Amuro song of the same name. The remaining group tracks are "Runway," "Wah Wah Wah," "Baby I'm Good," "Daydream," and "Jealousy," while "Misty" (Mina), "Money in My Pocket" (Sana), and "Mirage" (Momo) are solo tracks available only on certain editions. Each member contributed lyrics to one track on the album. The physical release comes in six editions: Standard (CD, 20-page booklet, 1 trading card of 15), Limited Deluxe (CD+DVD, 60-page A4 booklet, 5 stickers, 3 polaroid cards, 2 trading cards, 3 message cards, sealing stamp sticker), ONCE JAPAN edition, and three individual member editions for Mina, Sana, and Momo (each with a 32-page sleeve-case booklet, 2 postcards, ID card, and trading card). The Limited DVD includes MV and behind-the-scenes content. Haute Couture was certified Gold by the RIAJ in December 2024 and later upgraded to Platinum in May 2025. It ranked #27 on the Oricon 2024 year-end album chart and supported MISAMO's Japan Dome Tour 2024, a six-show run with 250,000 total attendees including Tokyo Dome dates — marking the fastest Tokyo Dome concert achievement by a female artist.
