BLACKPINK’s Jennie Goes Viral As She Stuns In Vintage Chanel For Her “2023 Met Gala” Debut
BLACKPINK‘s Jennie has been one of the most anticipated celebrities at tonight’s 2023 Met Gala after it was announced she would be attending one of “fashion’s biggest nights out.”
The Met Gala is back, taking place annually on the first Monday of May. Each year, celebrities tackle the year’s fashion theme through stunning, extravagant, and unforgettable fashion.
This year’s theme is Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty, honoring the late German fashion designer, who served as the creative director of Chanel from 1983 until he passed in 2019.
In 2018, BLACKPINK’s Jennie was personally selected by Karl Lagerfeld to become Chanel’s house ambassador, a position she holds to this day.
Since their legendary partnership, Jennie has earned the beloved nickname “Human Chanel,” as she perfectly encapsulates the timeless brand’s luxury look while effortlessly infusing Chanel’s classic designs with a modern style.
BLINKs have eagerly been waiting to see what iconic Chanel look Jennie will wear for her Met Gala debut, and she, of course, did not disappoint.
Jennie proved to be the main event before she even arrived at the Met’s steps as she followed fellow global celebrities out of the luxury Carlyle Hotel in New York.
