On the evening of May 5, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA (early morning of June 6, Vietnam time), Kpop star Lisa (Blackpink) had a notable debut at the most prestigious annual fashion event on the planet - Met Gala 2025.
With this year's theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black style", and the costume rule of "Tailored for You", Lisa has accompanied 2 luxury brands Louis Vuitton, Bvlgari.
The Thai singer became one of the most daring stars on the Met Gala blue carpet when wearing a "no pants" style, with a linen jacket worn outside the bodysuit with a super short pants design, combined with socks with the LV logo and high heels.
Lisa's super short pants quickly became a topic of debate. Many Asian audiences feel unfamiliar when a Kpop artist dresses too boldly, they think Lisa is "as if doing surgery on the red carpet". However, there are also audiences who praise the female singer's appearance, commenting that Lisa is pursuing a very successful Western style.
But the debate did not stop at the shortage of the outfit, as many people paid attention to the details embroidered on Lisa's pants.
According to Vogue, the Lisa dress was designed by Louis Vuitton's Creative Director - Pharrell Williams - in collaboration with contemporary artist Henry Taylor. The sophistication of the outfit lies in the embroidered details of portraits of many women, believed to be aimed at honoring influential colorful figures in history.
However, netizens discovered a face similar to Rosa Parks, a famous American activist, embroidered in a sensitive position on Lisa's super short pants.
According to the media, the controversy over Lisa's outfit broke out at a time when it was already sensitive. Because a few weeks ago, the 3 Blackpink members - Lisa, Jennie and Rose - received negative reactions when some trainee videos were leaked. In it, the female idols performed a song containing "n-word" (a term of satire, insulting people of color).
When approached by The Cut, a representative of Louis Vuitton explained that the laurel wreath was created by Henry Taylor and described it as " portraits of characters who have become part of the artist's life", but did not specify the names of the women present.
