BLACKPINK officially broke the internet on May 4, 2026, as all four members made a historic, first-ever joint appearance at the Met Gala. Stepping onto the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps for the “Costume Art” exhibition, Lisa, Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo transformed the red carpet into a global runway. While the group has dominated solo stages for years, seeing the “Queens of K-pop” reunite in New York City sent the BLINK fandom into a frenzy, proving their collective power remains unmatched in both music and high fashion.
Iconic Looks: How BLACKPINK Mastered ‘Fashion Is Art’
Following the 2026 dress code “Fashion Is Art,” each member collaborated with their respective luxury houses to deliver museum-worthy silhouettes:
- Lisa (Robert Wun): Making history as the first K-pop idol on the Met Gala Host Committee, Lisa stunned in a sheer white Robert Wun gown. The avant-garde piece featured surrealist mannequin arms holding her veil, a literal interpretation of fashion as a living sculpture.
- Jennie (Chanel): Jennie shimmered in a custom blue sequined dress inspired by mermaid scales. The intricate piece reportedly took 540 hours to create, blending old-Hollywood glamour with an aquatic, artistic edge.
- Rosé (Saint Laurent): Embracing a “quiet luxury” aesthetic, Rosé wore a sleek black YSL gown featuring a dramatic Senfo hornbill brooch. She paired the look with layered Tiffany & Co. diamonds that mimicked the spreading of bird wings.
- Jisoo (Dior): Making her long-awaited Met Gala debut, Jisoo leaned into romanticism with a strapless Dior creation. The gown was awash in soft pink and violet floral sequins, perfectly capturing the delicate craftsmanship of the “Costume Art” theme.

A Reunion That Silenced the Rumors
Beyond the individual style statements, the night was a powerful display of sisterhood. The four stars were spotted sharing a “cheeky” bathroom selfie and posing for a group photo that quickly became the most-liked post of the night. This appearance follows the release of their 2026 mini-album DEADLINE, signaling that despite their massive solo successes, BLACKPINK’s bond is stronger than ever.
From the viral #PinkCarpet moments to the global headlines in Vogue and TIME, the 2026 Met Gala belonged to BLACKPINK. Their ability to bridge the gap between pop culture and fine art solidified their status as the ultimate fashion icons of the decade.
