The 2025 Met Gala witnessed a dazzling display of sartorial elegance, with BLACKPINK's Jennie and Rosé making a return and Lisa debuting on the prestigious blue carpet. The theme for this year's gala, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," celebrated Black dandyism and its influence on fashion, encouraging guests to reinterpret classic tailoring with a modern twist. The event, a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, raised a record-breaking $31 million.

Jennie, a Chanel ambassador, showcased a unique take on the suit and tie, embodying the theme with a tuxedo gown that revealed a pantsuit underneath. The "Like Jennie" singer's ensemble featured a white flower and pearl details, complemented by a hat, drawing inspiration from Chanel's runway looks of the 1920s and 30s. According to Jennie, her look was inspired by Karl Lagerfeld's 1987 Fall-Winter collection for Chanel, adding her own twist with a steampunk hat. Many fans have called this monochrome tux her best look yet.

Rosé, returning to the Met Gala after four years, opted for a classic androgynous look, donning an all-black suit from Saint Laurent paired with a puffy black cloak. The "APT" hitmaker put a spin on the classic black suit with an oversized shawl train. She accessorized with a Tiffany High Jewelry necklace featuring a cushion-cut sapphire over 14 carats, sapphires over 11 carats, and diamonds over 13 carats. According to Rosé, the suit was tailor-made for her by creative director Anthony Vaccarello.

Lisa made her Met Gala debut in a striking Louis Vuitton ensemble. The Thai singer and actress wore a form-fitting sheer lace Louis Vuitton blazer and briefs, paired with logo stockings and black pumps. However, Lisa's outfit sparked controversy due to embroidery on the bodysuit that resembled civil rights icon Rosa Parks, leading to criticism for being inappropriate and disrespectful. The artwork, designed by American artist Henry Taylor, featured miniature portraits from Taylor's collaboration with Louis Vuitton creative director Pharrell Williams, originally debuting in the fashion house's Spring 2024 collection. While some praised the outfit's boldness, others found it a misstep in cultural respect.

The absence of Jisoo, the fourth BLACKPINK member, was noted by fans. Nevertheless, the presence of Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa marked a significant moment for K-pop on the Met Gala blue carpet. The BLACKPINK members are set to reconvene as a group with a world tour starting in July.
