BLACKPINK’s Jennie attended the Moncler Fall/Winter 2026 fashion show on February 1, an appearance that many fans had been looking forward to.

As someone known for setting trends and pulling off bold fashion choices, expectations were high. However, her look at the show has drawn a largely negative response from Korean netizens on community sites.
Jennie wore a denim jumpsuit styled with a high-neck inner top and heavy winter boots, fitting Moncler’s cold-weather theme. While the outfit itself was not overly flashy, many felt the overall styling was too heavy and dull. Instead of looking sharp or modern, netizens said the look felt closed-off and uncomfortable.

Much of the criticism focused on her hair and makeup. Some netizens said her makeup looked outdated and muted, giving off an old-fashioned vibe rather than a current fashion week look.

Another major reaction was how unrecognizable she appeared. Multiple netizens said they did not realize it was Jennie at first glance. A few went as far as comparing the styling to that of an “ahjumma.”

- “She seriously looks like a Korean-American ajumma.”
- “I honestly didn’t even recognize her as Jennie.”
- “Today’s styling feels kind of stuffy and heavy.”
- “What did they do to her hair…”
- “Ah.”
- “It feels like an old overseas Asian makeup style. It looks tacky.”
- “Whoa;;”
- “Is that really Jennie???”
Despite the backlash, Jennie remains a major figure in both K-pop and fashion. Still, this reaction shows how quickly public opinion can turn when a look fails to meet expectations.
