BLACKPINK’s Lisa showed no signs of stress over the recent Rosa Parks outfit debate, focusing instead on her unforgettable Met Gala debut. The K-pop star even shared a playful behind-the-scenes moment—enjoying a hot dog before hitting the red carpet.
Lisa made her first appearance at the 2025 Met Gala in a daring Louis Vuitton outfit designed by artist Henry Taylor and creative director Pharrell Williams. Her look included a sheer black lace blazer, logo tights, and a bodysuit with embroidered faces. Some fans mistakenly believed one of the faces resembled civil rights icon Rosa Parks, sparking online backlash.
Louis Vuitton quickly clarified that the design featured portraits of people from Taylor’s personal life, not historical figures. A representative stated, “The faces seen on this look are drawn from Henry’s personal life—family members, friends, and neighbors.” The brand confirmed no famous figures were included in the artwork.
Despite the controversy, Lisa remained unfazed. On May 10, she posted a series of photos and videos from the event with the caption “Reliving The Met moment.” One image showed her casually holding a hot dog before stepping onto the red carpet. Fans loved her carefree attitude, flooding the comments with praise like “She knows she’s hot” and “Iconic.”
The Met Gala’s 2025 theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” celebrated Black dandyism and fashion history. Lisa’s outfit aligned with the theme, blending high fashion with artistic expression. Pharrell Williams, who co-chaired the event, described her look as “wearing art.” Lisa responded, “Yes, I’m wearing art. This is crazy.”
Social media had mixed reactions to Lisa’s ensemble. Some criticized the placement of the embroidered faces, while others defended the artistic intent. One user wrote, “Rosa Parks on her panties… put Pharrell in jail expeditiously!” Another added, “Using Rosa Parks’ image this way lacks respect for her legacy.” However, many fans praised Lisa for her bold fashion choices.
Lisa’s Met Gala appearance marked another milestone in her thriving career. Recently, she debuted in The White Lotus Season 3 and released her solo album Alter Ego, which reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200. BLACKPINK is also preparing for their upcoming reunion tour, set to begin in July.
