BLACKPINK’s Rosé stunned festivalgoers with her edgy, heat-defying look at Psy’s “SUMMERSWAG 2025” concert — proving once again why she’s a go-to style icon for summer music events.

Held at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, the “SUMMERSWAG” festival brought thousands together despite scorching temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius. Rosé made a surprise guest appearance at the June 28 show, performing hits like “APT.,” “Toxic,” and “Dance All Night” to an electrified crowd.

Her stage look embodied rock-chic sensibility with a high-fashion twist. She wore a sleeveless white T-shirt by a French brand — retailing for around 900,000 won ($650) — customized by rolling up the sleeves for a sharper, funkier fit. The shirt’s bold front artwork added to the punk-inspired mood.

Rosé paired the top with ultra-short leather hotpants and standout knee-high leather boots. The strappy boots, designed by a Belgian fashion house and priced at approximately 3 million won, anchored the outfit with fierce attitude.

To complete the look, she layered two bold belts — each a different color —over her micro-fit shorts, adding a touch of rebellious charm. Matching studded bracelets and metallic accents on the shorts created a cohesive, festival-ready punk aesthetic.

As summer festivals kick into full swing, Rosé’s look serves as a prime example of how to stay cool and stylish. Her outfit strikes the perfect balance between comfort, individuality, and performance-ready flair — offering inspiration for fans navigating the challenge of dressing up in high heat.
