She accessorized the look with black tights, black opera gloves, a black ribbon choker and a white camellia flower in her hair, topping off the ensemble with black pumps.
Jennie’s look was from Chanel’s fall 1990 ready-to-wear collection. The singer has a long relationship with the brand. Her ambassadorship with the French brand began in 2017, following her introduction into the music industry with the all-girl group Blackpink in 2016.
When Chanel’s first flagship in Seoul opened in 2019, Jennie and Pharrell Williams performed a cover of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Frankie Valli.

For Chanel’s Coco Neige campaign in 2021, the fashion house shared with WWD: “In each image, Jennie embodies a different facet of the Chanel spirit: irreverence, nonchalance, freedom of movement and elegance.” As for the latest, Jennie starred in Chanel’s 22 bag and the Coco Crush accessories campaigns.
As a collective group, Blackpink has racked up a series of notable ambassadorships with major fashion brands ranging from Dior to Tiffany & Co.
The Met Gala raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and celebrates the Costume Institute’s annual exhibits. This year’s theme, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” celebrates the life and career of designer Karl Lagerfeld. The 2023 event is notably co-chaired by Dua Lipa, Roger Federer, Michaela Coel, Penelope Cruz and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
