Jennie Steals Spotlight at 2025 Met Gala and After-Party in Vintage Chanel
Global fashion icon and Blackpink member Jennie once again took center stage at the world’s most anticipated fashion event—the 2025 Met Gala in New York City. Held on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the gala featured this year’s bold theme, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’. Jennie embraced the aesthetic flawlessly in a bespoke off-shoulder black satin jumpsuit matched with tailored black trousers, exuding a blend of elegance and uniqueness.
The highlight of her look came with a chic two-toned fedora, adding a vintage edge that had media outlets like Harper’s Bazaar raving. The magazine described her as the “Human Chanel,” saying she looked as if she “stepped out of Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” According to insiders, her outfit was handcrafted by Chanel artisans, requiring over 330 hours of meticulous work.
Following the main gala, Jennie continued to turn heads at the exclusive after-party. On May 8, she took to Instagram to share multiple photos captioned, “oh and the category is hat.” In the snapshots, she rocks a daring sheer top, mini skirt, black sheer stockings, and bold boots—topped off once again by a statement hat that nailed the night’s eclectic vibe.
Jennie’s appearance didn’t go unnoticed. She made People Magazine and Harper’s Bazaar‘s lists of the Best Dressed celebrities of the night alongside the likes of Diana Ross, Gigi Hadid, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny, Rihanna, and Kendall Jenner. Her style cemented her status as a red carpet trendsetter and affirmed her enduring influence in the global fashion scene.
The Met Gala, held every first Monday of May since 1948, is regarded as fashion’s biggest night, attracting icons from Hollywood, music, and haute couture. But Jennie wasn’t alone in repping Blackpink—members Rosé and Lisa also made appearances at the after-party.
Following their Met Gala headlines, Blackpink is set to reunite this July, kicking off their world tour with a much-anticipated show at Goyang Stadium in South Korea. Fans across the globe are already brimming with excitement to witness Jennie and the group return to the stage together.
