BLACKPINK’s Jennie lit up the 2025 Met Gala red carpet with a bold, boundary-pushing Chanel ensemble that quickly landed her on multiple best-dressed lists — and she kept the buzz going by sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes photos.
On May 5 (local time), Jennie attended the Met Gala at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art for the third consecutive year. This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” paid tribute to the influence of Black designers and culture on high fashion.
Jennie immediately captured media attention with a daring twist on classic tailoring. Wearing a wide-brimmed black hat that partially obscured her face, she paired off-the-shoulder satin detailing with sharply cut black suit pants. U.S. fashion outlets like Harper’s Bazaar and People named her among the night’s best dressed, with Vogue praising her for brilliantly interpreting the Met Gala theme.
Her look, which blended elegance with edge, was reportedly handcrafted over 330 hours by Chanel’s artisans. Fans and fashion watchers online raved: “The moment I saw it, I thought it was insane — she nailed the dress code,” and “No one can compete with her presence in fashion right now.”

On May 8, Jennie posted a series of photos from the event, including shots from the official red carpet and the exclusive afterparty. She changed into a bolder outfit for the latter, showcasing her signature fashion flair with Chanel tights and confident styling.
Perhaps most buzzed-about was the unofficial “Met Gala bathroom selfie” — a tradition at the no-phones-allowed event. Jennie shared a snapshot taken with fellow celebrities Whitney Peak, Sabrina Carpenter, and Angel, drawing global fan attention.
International media joined in the praise, with Harper’s Bazaar calling her a "Human Chanel” and comparing her elegance to the iconic heroine of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. From dominating Coachella stages to redefining red carpets, Jennie continues to command worldwide attention.
