On the evening of May 5, 2025 (U.S. time), three members of BLACKPINK—Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa—attended the 2025 Met Gala, the prestigious fashion event held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, celebrated Black fashion heritage and dandy aesthetics. The theme not only highlighted the influence of Black fashion but also emphasized the creativity of Black designers and artists in the fashion industry. The three BLACKPINK members wore unique outfits, each expressing her individual style while honoring the intersection of music, culture, and fashion.
Jennie: Powerful in the Chanel tuxedo
As a global ambassador for Chanel, Jennie chose a luxurious black tuxedo from the brand to attend the 2025 Met Gala. This special outfit was handcrafted over more than 330 hours and was inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s Fall-Winter 1987 collection. Signature details such as Chanel’s iconic camellia flower, pearls, and a black-and-white boater hat created a classic yet powerful look, perfectly aligned with this year’s theme.
Jennie is always known for her elegant and alluring style, but this time, she delivered her most powerful look yet. Notably, she embraced the true spirit of “Tailored for You” at the Met Gala, honoring garments that are uniquely crafted and exquisitely designed. This marked Jennie’s third appearance at the Met Gala, and she did not disappoint. She showcased deep respect for Coco Chanel’s legacy and the enduring influence of the brand in the global fashion industry.
Lisa: Astonishing style with Louis Vuitton
Making her Met Gala debut, Lisa made a striking entrance at the star-studded event. She wore a bold outfit by Louis Vuitton that instantly captured everyone’s attention. The ensemble featured a sheer blazer paired with monogrammed mesh pants and a pearl chain belt, creating a powerful and unforgettable look. Notably, the embroidery on the outfit—crafted by artist Henry Taylor—depicted portraits of influential Black women, symbolizing the connection between fashion and Black culture, a central theme of this year’s Met Gala.
With this bold look, Lisa solidified her influence in the global fashion scene, showcasing her creativity and individuality at every event she attends. Her daring choice left a strong impression and earned widespread praise from fashion enthusiasts and industry insiders alike.
Rosé: Delicate with Saint Laurent
As a global ambassador for Saint Laurent, Rosé made her return to the Met Gala after a four-year hiatus in a bold black suit. The outfit featured structured shoulders and a dramatic cape, paired with Tiffany’s High Jewellery and striking red heels, creating a powerful yet distinctly feminine look.
Rosé’s outfit was widely praised for its elegance and refinement, perfectly capturing her signature style. While it may not have been as boldly attention-grabbing as her fellow BLACKPINK members’ looks, her appearance still reflected a sense of class and consistency with the image she has carefully cultivated throughout her career.
BLACKPINK: Affirming the position of K-Pop on the Met Gala red carpet
The appearance of Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa at the 2025 Met Gala was not only a proud moment for BLACKPINK but also a significant milestone in bringing K-pop culture closer to the global fashion scene. Although Jisoo did not attend this year’s event, the other three members showcased their individual influence and distinctive styles. Once again, BLACKPINK proved that they are not only leading figures in the music industry but also fashion icons who help shape trends and inspire youth around the world.
The participation of Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa at Met Gala 2025 marked a memorable moment, as the three BLACKPINK members not only dazzled with their unique fashion styles but also reaffirmed the group’s powerful global influence. Their refined and highly individual outfits highlighted the seamless fusion of music, culture, and fashion, while honoring the values and heritage of Black fashion. Met Gala 2025 was not merely a fashion playground, but a significant milestone in BLACKPINK’s journey to conquer the world, leaving a new mark in the group’s already impressive career.
