Met Gala 2023: Blackpink’s Jennie Kim dons vintage Chanel dress

Jennie Kim is one quarter of the record-breaking South Korean girl group BLACKPINK. 

But on Monday, the 27-year-old stole the spotlight all on her own in a vintage Chanel mini-dress at the 2023 Met Gala in New York City. 

The satin ensemble was a recreation of a look from Karl Lagerfeld’s fall 1990 ready-to-wear collection.

It featured a satin bustier dress embellished with a gorgeous signature white camellia with a simple ribbon tie at the bodice, while a matching flower is pinned to the K-pop star’s hair.

She added elbow-length black gloves and matching stockings to complete the stylish retro look.

Speaking to Vogue magazine on the red carpet, Jennie said: ‘I’m wearing Chanel from the nineties runway. I’m so lucky to have the Chanel team recreate this look from the nineties.. the one that Karl did. I’m just so happy.’

Jennie is one of Chanel’s most recognised brand ambassadors in Asia.

She’s also the longtime face of Calvin Klein and has fronted multiple global campaigns for the brand.

Earlier this month, her group BLACKPINK made history by becoming the first ever South Korean act to headline the Coachella music festival.

The reaction from fans in the crowd and on social media was wildly enthusiastic after the South Korean girl group took the stage.

BLACKPINK holds the title of the most-subscribed act on YouTube, with over 82 million subscribers, and has won two MTV Video Music Awards

During their six-year career, they have released two studio albums. Their first release, The Album, was released in 2020 and reached number two on the UK album charts.

Their follow-up album, Born Pink, was released in 2022 and topped the UK charts.

They have collaborated with several global superstars, including Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, and Dua Lipa.

The group is currently on the road for their 2022/2023 Born Pink tour and added four stadium shows to their list of upcoming North American tour dates: East Rutherford, New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium (Aug. 12), Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium (Aug. 18), San Francisco’s Oracle Park (Aug. 22) and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium (Aug. 26).

The tour, which kicked off last year, has already produced sold-out concerts in South Korea, North America, and Europe.

The quartet will perform two shows in Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on June 10 and 11 and another two shows at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on June 16 and 17.

BLACKPINK is one of the most popular K-pop groups Down Under due to their connection to Australia and New Zealand.

Member Roseanne ‘Rosé’ Park was born in Auckland and raised in Melbourne, while Jennie Kim spent five years studying in New Zealand.
