BlackPink's Jennie and Rosè confirms their appearance with stunning looks in the Met Gala event 2025

*The Met Gala, an annual celebration of sartorial artistry and daring design, took place in May 2025 in New York, New York. For the Met Gala, the fashion industry turned its discerning eye to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year, under the compelling theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," the iconic blue carpet welcomed a dazzling array of stars.  Among them, global K-pop sensations Jennie and Rosé of BLACKPINK made an indelible mark, delivering breathtaking fashion statements that resonated deeply with the night's narrative.  Rosé made a particularly significant comeback by attending the gala after a three-year absence. This resulted in a much-anticipated and stylish reunion for fans and fashion commentators alike, which was heightened by Lisa's presence.

Jennie, who made her third appearance at the Met Gala, further established her status as a genuine fashion icon and an excellent Chanel ambassador. In a custom Chanel creation that paid tribute to the maison's rich heritage, she captivated viewers by embodying timeless elegance with a decidedly modern twist. Reports detailed a sophisticated pearl-studded, off-shoulder Coco Chanel jumpsuit and skirt ensemble, artfully paired with a chic English hat.  Another prominent description highlighted a stunning Chanel tuxedo-inspired gown.  This meticulously crafted piece featured a sleek off-shoulder bodice, contemporary cropped cigarette trousers, and a dramatic sweeping train, exquisitely adorned with lustrous pearls and a signature camellia – Chanel's beloved emblem.  The look was impeccably finished with a black-and-white boater hat, evoking the pioneering spirit of Coco Chanel herself.  Jennie explained to Vogue on the red carpet that the revolutionary runway styles of Coco Chanel from the 1920s and 1930s were the direct inspiration for her ensemble. This demonstrates a deep appreciation for fashion history and her crucial role within the prestigious French house.

Coming back to the Met Gala with a bang after debuting in 2021, Rosé was a sight to behold in effortless modern glam. She wore a custom Saint Laurent tuxedo, a proof of her close ties with the brand and its director, Anthony Vaccarello. The tuxedo masterpiece is a perfect balance of powerful feminine grace with inherently delicate masculine bite. The striking silhouette was defined by sharp lines and most notably, the eye catching large shapped train that flowed out behind her. This created an unforgettable sight as she walked up the museum’s famous steps. Such powerful look was crafted for her personally by Vaccarello proving Rosé as a muse for the Parisian house. Rosé paired her powerful fit with high jewelry from Tiffany & Co. including a necklace encrusted with diamonds and centered with a sapphire which brought bold royal flair to her look. A look that whiteout a doubt complemented her outfit. Her return was something to look forward to, and she expressed to the public how excited she was to finally be back and to enjoy the iconic event with her bandmates.

The joint look of Jennie and Rosé was especially noteworthy for BLINKs – the global fandom of BLACKPINK – for they praised Rosé’s reentry to the Met Gala after a three year hiatus. Their combined star power was even further amplified by the appearance of the other BLACKPINK member, Lisa. Lisa captured the audience’s attention and stirred up a lot of conversation in an audacious and provocative Louis Vuitton ensemble. It was her first Met Gala so she made it special with a stunning black bodysuit, sheer stockings, and a pearl and gold embellished jacket. While the three members' presence highlighted BLACKPINK's amazing global reach, the group's maknae Jisoo was missing from the 2025 event. Her absence sparked debate among fans online who had wished for a full group showing on the iconic blue carpet, although many remain optimistic about her attendance in the future.

For their super stylish takes of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme, both Jennie and Rosé along with Lisa received glowing reviews from fashion critics and fans alike. Chanel’s Jennie’s piece with its historical references and modern execution was powerful along with Rosé’s dramatic Saint Laurent tuxedo, both showcasing diverse yet equally compelling takes on bespoke elegance. Adding to K-Pop’s strong showing was Lisa’s Contemporary Louis Vuitton ensemble. Their individual and collective appearance mark increasingly the attention and South Korean artists influence on global fashion, not only to accept—but to actively define and shape contemporary style. They are no longer mere musical performers, but take center stage as global fashion icons.


For those that wished for a complete four-member BLACKPINK reunion to grace the Met Gala, seeing Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa walk the red carpet, each stunning and distinct in their own way, created a set of fashion moments that will be remembered forever. In addition to the fashion on display, the evening was filled with BLACKPINK member self-promoting concerning new music and revealing bits and pieces of new world tours which was very promising. These updates were certain to the fans that the impact of their presence at the Met Gala would not be limited to just that night, but would inspire further artistic work from the internationally recognized group in the future.
