The most prestigious fashion event on the planet - Met Gala 2026 - taking place in the early morning of May 5 (Vietnam time) is still a hot topic of discussion on social networks and forums.
At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (USA), hundreds of stars from around the world gathered, bringing many impressive appearances.
This year, the landing of Asian artists attracted attention, especially Kpop idols with a large fan base such as 4 members of Blackpink (Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, Rosé) and 2 members of aespa (Karina, NingNing).
Karina stepped onto the Met Gala 2026 red carpet with a custom-made design from Prada - the brand she is currently an ambassador for.
The white satin dress combined with a black coat has many details inspired by the brand's history, including embroidery from the Spring 2017 collection and sleeves from the Spring 2007 collection.
The tablier collar is exquisitely embellished with jet beads and silver crystal embroidery, and is also inspired by hanbok - a traditional Korean costume.
The female singer completes her appearance with a handbag; elegant jewelry combined with white gold, peridot stones, amethyst and diamonds; along with a low bun hairstyle braided on both sides, highlighting the elegant and sophisticated beauty.
However, controversy broke out when Karina was posing for photos. Some photographers at the scene continuously called her "Jisoo" - Blackpink member.
When the video recording this moment spread online, many viewers criticized the photographers for being unprofessional and lacking basic knowledge.
Many comments said that not recognizing an international star invited to attend a major event like the Met Gala reflects poor preparation and not serious working attitude.
Despite falling into a difficult and somewhat disrespectful situation, Karina remained calm, continuing to pose without revealing discomfort.
Fans praised the female singer's calm and graceful reaction, emphasizing her professionalism when attending this prestigious event for the first time.
Many people believe that Karina maintaining her aura in such circumstances further proves her position as a true global star.
