Lisa turned heads at the 2025 Met Gala on May 5, rocking a lacy Louis Vuitton blazer and bodysuit. The look screamed high fashion with a twist of dandy flair—but not everyone was impressed. Internet users zoomed in on the bottom of her outfit and claimed to spot Rosa Parks’ face stitched into the lace, sparking a major online debate.

The outfit was part of Pharrell Williams’ collaboration with artist Henry Taylor, whose work was reimagined in crystal-embellished lace and tulle. Louis Vuitton explained the design was inspired by Taylor’s portraits of important figures in his life—but didn’t confirm whether one of them was, in fact, Rosa Parks. The mystery only fueled the backlash, with some fans accusing the look of being tone-deaf given the historical weight of Parks’ legacy.

Despite the drama, Lisa held her own in her Met Gala debut and will hit the stage again soon. BLACKPINK’s highly anticipated reunion tour kicks off this summer, marking their return since the Born Pink era. With Lisa already serving looks at the Oscars in March and now Met Gala buzz, she’s clearly not stepping out of the spotlight—controversies included.
