Blackpink was originally considered the group that paved the way to enter the fashion industry when all 4 members were ambassadors for luxury fashion brands. Therefore, Blackpink members are always the most sought-after faces at Fashion Weeks and this year is no exception. However, the 4 members received mixed reactions. While Lisa received countless compliments for her beautifulpop-like appearance, the other 3 members faced many controversies, especially Rose and Jennie.
Originally known as "born for YSL", Rose Blackpink always receives countless compliments when appearing at the brand's shows. However, this year the public's reaction to "Australia roses" is completely opposite.
She appeared in a light blue thin linen outfit with bold cuts. Although the design that Rose wore had a long silk helps her avoid carelessness, it seemed that this outfit still made Rose uncomfortable when she had to constantly use her hand to cover the chest cut. The thin, sticky outfit without a jacket also makes Rose seem unnotable compared to the female stars participating in this show such as: Hailey Bieber, Charli XCX...
Elle UK also directly edited Rose's photo in a photo with other female stars, sparking discrimination. Although Elle UK later posted a separate post about Rose as the brand's global ambassador, it could not calm the anger of fans.
Sharing the same fate as Rose, Jennie also encountered many controversies when appearing at the Chanel show. Known as "Living Chanel", every time Jennie appears, she always brings a new style and receives many compliments. However, at this year's Paris Fashion Week, Jennie disappointed many people when wearing an outfit that was no different from light blue sleeping clothes. The Blackpink female member also lacked attention to her earrings, only having her hair down and her makeup emphasized on her eyes. Many viewers thought that Jennie's charisma saved the whole outfit.
Not only did she stop there, she also caused controversy when she arrived at the show late. If in previous years, Jennie was always sought after from the hotel and took countless precious moments, this year she came close to the show start, only appeared in a flash and rushed into the venue.
Despite the controversy, a few audiences also defended Rose and Jennie when both were just conveying what the brand wanted in this show. As ambassadors, the Blackpink members cannot choose outfits according to their preferences but will depend largely on the choice of the brand. Many fans also hope that the audience will accept the bold innovation of the Blackpink members.
