K-pop took over the 2025 Met Gala, and the stars did not come to play. BLACKPINK’s Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa made their fashion mark in totally different ways—from iconic Chanel glam to edgy Saint Laurent tailoring. And SEVENTEEN’s S.Coups? He showed the world how to blend heritage and high fashion like a pro. With the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” in mind, these idols served culture, couture, and a touch of controversy.
Let’s rank the K-pop looks of the event:
#4 – Lisa (BLACKPINK)
Lisa definitely got people talking with her Louis Vuitton look—a lace bodysuit and blazer designed in collaboration with Henry Taylor and Pharrell Williams. Sexy? Yes. But the internet zoomed in fast, claiming to spot Rosa Parks’ face stitched into the lace. While Louis Vuitton said the portraits were of people Taylor knew, the damage was done. The backlash turned what could’ve been a slay into an online controversy.
Lisa’s Met Gala bodysuit did not include the face of Rosa Parks, despite internet speculation.

#3 – Rosé (BLACKPINK)
Rosé went full black glam in a Saint Laurent tux paired with bright red heels. The sharp tailoring and edgy details stood out, but the real headline? She teased BLACKPINK’s comeback and their new tour vibe during her Vogue interview. Serving looks and spoilers? Queen behavior!

#2 – Jennie (BLACKPINK)
Jennie ate, left no crumbs, and came back for dessert. Her Chanel gown was all pearls, tailoring, and vintage dandy elegance. As Chanel’s ambassador, she hit the theme perfectly—1930s flair with modern edge. It was her third Met Gala, and she owned it.

#1 – S. Coups (SEVENTEEN)
S. Coups understood the assignment and turned it into an A+. Dressed in a hanbok-inspired suit by Boss, he honored his Korean roots while embracing the “Tailored for You” dress code. His look won over fans and fashion critics alike.
