According to Allkpop, the Blackpink and K-Pop fan communities are outraged to discover Rose been removed from a group photo posted on ELLE UK's official Instagram.
The original photo taken at the Saint Laurent fashion show Spring - Summer 2026 in Paris, there were 4 guests in the front row: Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, Charli XCX and Rose. However, in the post by ELLE UK, Rose was completely cut from the frame, and her name did not appear in the caption, in contrast to the other three stars who were all introduced and posted their own photos.
The three European and American stars were also heavily criticized for their attitudes that were considered slow and ignored by Rose.
Among them, Charli XCX received the most attacks after posting a photo of intentionally "taking" Rose in the dark. After being criticized, this beauty "calmed the fire" with a series of other photos.
Hailey Bieber - Justin Bieber's wife was initially praised for having an affair with Rose but was blocked by Charli XCX and Zoë Kravitz. However, she continued to cause controversy when Zoë and her hand sign to wave Rose closer to take photos in what Asian culture considers an disrespectful term.
After that, Hailey also shared a scandal photo posted by Charli, where Rose was completely obscure. This disappointed fans, saying that Hailey did not handle it well.
Zoë Kravitz was also criticized for sitting right next to her but was accused of being cold, not even greeting Rose.
ELLE UK magazine removed the article, apologized and explained that Rose was cut for photo size reasons, no insult. However, this explanation is considered unacceptable, because it is completely possible to handle photos in another way without removing the brand ambassador.
