Jisoo’s Met Gala 2026 Debut Looks
Making a debut that can only be described as ethereal, Blackpink’s Jisoo graced her very first Met Gala in a custom Dior masterpiece that felt less like a garment and more like a love letter to the 2026 “Costume Art” theme.
She walked elegantly down the carpet in a glimmering blush pink gazar column dress. The fabric, known for its sheer silk or wool finish, gave the look a soft and graceful feel. The dress also featured a backless silhouette that added a refined touch of drama. Moreover, the gown was decorated with an intricate, hand-embroidered garden scene.
With every step, the design seemed to bloom beautifully on the red carpet. To elevate the romantic mood, floral headpiece was paired. She also reached into the archives with a breathtaking 1905 Cartier Collection necklace. Lastly, Jisoo did not just attend the gala but she transformed the red carpet into a living, breathing Impressionist painting.
Lisa
Returning for her second Met Gala appearance, Lisa commanded the red carpet in a visionary Robert Wun creation. The look blurred the lines between high fashion and high art. Moreover, the gown gave a profound nod to the “Costume Art” theme. It featured a surreal, sculptural veil that instantly caught attention. The piece was a masterpiece of personal storytelling. It was crafted from 3D scans of Lisa’s own forearm silhouette.
Through its fluid and expressive shape, the ensemble reflected the graceful gestures of traditional Thai dance. In that way, it transformed her heritage into a modern couture marvel. Ultimately, it was a breathtaking fusion of the digital and the divine. Lisa did not just wear fashion. She embodied it as a living monument to her roots.
Rosé
For her 2026 Met Gala appearance, Rosé walked the red carpet like a living tribute to art history. In fact, her look was inspired by the legendary halls of the Louvre. She wore a sleek black gown that directly nodded to a famous ceiling painting of birds by artist Georges Braque. Interestingly, the masterpiece once captivated Yves Saint Laurent himself.
To bring the vision to life, Rosé paired the dress with a bold statement necklace. She also added a striking bird-inspired accessory, which felt both poetic and powerful. Overall, by blending classic elegance with the spirit of a museum gallery, Rosé proved that fashion is at its best when it tells a beautiful story.
Jennie
Stepping onto the carpet like a vision from the deep, Jennie dazzled in a shimmering blue Chanel gown that felt like a modern-day mermaid fantasy. As a longtime face of the fashion house, she worked with artistic director Matthieu Blazy to create a look that was truly a labor of love, beautifully adorned with 15,000 hand-applied metallic sequins that caught the light like glistening scales.
With every movement, the dress transformed her into a living work of art, perfectly a theme she carried through to her radiant, “glowing” beauty look. Ultimately, combining effortless loyalty to her brand with a touch of aquatic magic, Jennie didn’t just walk the red carpet—she shimmered across it.
