BLACKPINK member Lisa turned her recent Japan trip into a full fashion showcase, and fans are taking notice. The Thai star shared a series of photos on October 17, 2026, with the short caption “KYOTOKYO,” giving followers a look at her travels through Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka. The post mixed traditional Japanese clothing with bold modern outfits, and each look came with carefully chosen luxury accessories.
Lisa wore a soft yellow floral kimono, a grey cutout bodysuit, a yellow off-shoulder top, and a black mini skirt set, among other styles. She also carried a Louis Vuitton Bundle Trunk bag and an Hermès Kelly Cut bag, and she added small personal touches like a Hello Kitty plush toy. The photos quickly spread across social media, with fans commenting on the range of her style and her obvious enjoyment of the trip.
A Yellow Kimono With a Playful Hello Kitty Twist
Lisa’s first look in the post was a cream-yellow kimono decorated with light blue and pink floral patterns. She paired it with a white obi sash and styled her hair in a low bun with white and light blue flower accessories. The outfit had a sweet, soft feel, but a closer look showed a playful detail: the obi knot at the back was shaped like Hello Kitty.
She completed the look with a black Louis Vuitton Bundle Trunk bag from the brand’s 2026 fall/winter collection. The bag has a soft calfskin body, a twisted knot handle, and a small side pocket. Lisa placed a Hello Kitty plush toy in that pocket, matching the character detail on her sash. The bag was priced at around 132,000 New Taiwan dollars, according to ETtoday.
The kimono itself was a rental from a service called kesa (Hello Kitty Kimono Rental), a popular choice for tourists in Japan, according to TeeNee. The mix of a traditional garment with a character-themed detail and a high-end designer bag showed Lisa’s ability to blend different styles in one outfit.
From Traditional to Edgy: The Grey Cutout Bodysuit
The post also included a very different look. Lisa wore a grey form-fitting top and leggings set with cutout details around the hips. The outfit highlighted her silhouette and showed a much edgier style compared to the soft kimono. Korean media outlet Herald Muse described the contrast between her traditional and modern looks, noting that she “perfectly pulled off everything from a kimono to a bold outfit with an open hip line”.
Another photo showed Lisa in a yellow off-shoulder blouse with a loose, flowing shape, paired with slim black pants. She was pictured looking at Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion) from across a pond, and the outfit matched the calm, classic feel of the location.
The variety did not stop there. Lisa also posted photos in an ivory blouse with a black mini skirt, a leopard-print hat with a black shirt and mini skirt set, a black dress with a sheer shawl in front of a five-story pagoda, and a pink halter-neck dress with a floral shawl in a lit garden at night. Each outfit carried a different mood, from sweet to sharp to elegant.
Luxury Bags That Completed Every Look
Accessories played a major role in Lisa’s travel wardrobe. Apart from the Louis Vuitton Bundle Trunk bag with the Hello Kitty plush, she also carried a black Hermès Kelly Cut bag for an evening look. The Kelly Cut is a long, slim clutch version of the classic Hermès Kelly, and it is a common choice for evening events and dinners.
Lisa has been a Louis Vuitton ambassador for several years, and she has worn the brand at major events, including the Louis Vuitton 2027 spring/summer show in Paris on October 7, 2026. The Japan trip photos continued that partnership, with the Bundle Trunk bag getting attention for its unusual shape and the way Lisa styled it with a traditional kimono.
The mix of a traditional Japanese garment with a French luxury bag and a Japanese character toy was a clear example of Lisa’s personal style, which often combines high fashion with playful elements.
Sightseeing Across Kyoto, Nara and Osaka
The photo set covered several locations across the Kansai region. Lisa visited Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto, Todai-ji in Nara, and Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. She posted a photo looking at Mount Fuji from a Shinkansen bullet train, and another of herself waving at a deer in Nara.
Lisa also shared a picture from the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, where she is a brand ambassador for Bvlgari. The hotel visit added another luxury touch to the trip. She was seen enjoying matcha and taking in the sights at a relaxed pace, according to Ilgan Sports.
The travel photos came shortly after Lisa attended the Louis Vuitton show in Paris on October 7. Her Japan trip appeared to be a personal break between professional commitments. She had also visited Kyoto in August 2026, sharing photos at that time as well, according to MyDaily.
