Jennie and Lisa of BLACKPINK captivated global fans with starkly different fashion choices at the 2025 Met Gala, America’s biggest fashion event. The stars' respective styles — one classic, one daring — have continued to spark conversation long after the event.

On May 5, Jennie and Lisa appeared at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for this year’s Met Gala, held under the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” Representing the luxury brands they each serve as ambassadors for, both artists made bold fashion statements that left an impression.

Jennie embraced a classic mood in line with the evening’s tailoring theme, showcasing elegance and sophistication. She wore a black off-shoulder satin jumpsuit paired with tailored black trousers from a French luxury brand she represents, highlighting a unique, androgynous charm. She completed the look with a two-tone fedora, the brand’s signature white flower brooch and pearl accessories for a timeless feel.

Jennie’s look drew particular attention for the craftsmanship behind it — her outfit was reportedly the result of over 330 hours of work by the brand’s artisans.

While Jennie dazzled with a classic look, Lisa turned heads on the red carpet with a bold, pantsless ensemble.

Lisa wore a daring outfit from another French luxury house she is affiliated with. Her look featured a black sequin blazer, logo-embellished black stockings and a custom-designed bodysuit created for her by the brand’s creative director Pharrell Williams. Paired with black heels, the outfit exuded a seductive yet powerful vibe.

Carrying a tote bag adorned with the brand’s logo, Lisa confidently posed on the red carpet, radiating the bold charisma that has made her a fashion icon around the world.
