Haute Couture is the second extended play by MiSaMo, a sub-unit of girl group Twice. It was released by Warner Music Japan on November 6, 2024. The EP contains seven tracks, including the lead single, "Identity", and "New Look", a cover of Namie Amuro's song of the same name.

On July 30, 2024, JYP Entertainment announced that MiSaMo would release their second EP on October 30.[1] On September 12, the release date was changed to November 6 due to production issues.[2] They also announced a Japanese dome tour in support of the EP.[3] On September 16, a trailer prologue video, "MiSaMo's Atelier", was released on YouTube, revealing the EP's title and theme, centering around "the stylish idea of how haute couture dresses are made by the hands of fashion masters".[4][5]
The EP has six editions: a standard edition, limited deluxe edition, Once Japan limited edition, and solo editions featuring each member.[6] The track list was revealed on September 22, showing that Park Jin-young wrote lyrics for the lead single, "Identity", and MiSaMo wrote lyrics for their own solo tracks.[7] The sub-lead track, a cover of Namie Amuro's "New Look" (2008), was released on October 9 with an accompanying music video directed by Song Min-gyu.[8][9][10] "Identity" was released on October 28 along with a music video, which was filmed on location in Spain at the City of Arts and Sciences and the Old Cathedral of Lleida.[11][12]
