Jennie (Blackpink) made a mark when attending the TIME 100 Gala event taking place on April 24 at Jazz at Lincoln Center, New York.
She is the only K-pop idol to be included in this year's TIME 100 Most Influential People (100 most influential people) list, affirming her increasing global influence.
On the red carpet, Jennie wore an outfit consisting of a bustier-style see-through corset combined with a long velvet skirt, bringing a whole look that is both sexy and high-end fashion. Many fans appreciated the design for helping her enhance her characteristic charm and luxury.
However, besides the compliments, some opposing opinions also appeared that the form of the outfit was not really harmonious with the figure.
A part of the audience commented that the low-waisted skirt part may make body proportions look unbalanced, making the upper body longer and legs feel shorter overall.
TIME magazine praised Jennie for her outstanding influence in many fields, from music, fashion to entertainment, making her one of the contemporary pop culture icons. In parallel with activities with BLACKPINK, the female artist is actively developing her personal career.
Jennie's solo album "Ruby" was honored by Rolling Stone in the list of 100 best albums of the year, while her collaboration with Tame Impala in the remix Dracula helped her make her mark on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart.
At the event, Jennie rubbed shoulders with many international stars such as Dakota Johnson, Keke Palmer and Hailey Bieber, attracting great attention from the media.
In a quick interview on the red carpet, she revealed that she is preparing for new solo music projects, making global fans even more expectant.
Her appearance at TIME 100 Gala continues to consolidate Jennie's position as a global icon. Previously, she also topped the 2025 Korea Idol chart voted by Forbes Korea, showing persistent influence not only in music but also in the field of fashion and popular culture.
