Like the last few years, this year’s Met Gala has a longer-than-usual list of K-Pop attendees.
For the first year ever, every single member of BLACKPINK is in attendance, including Lisa, who has a special role this year. Previously, it was revealed that Lisa would be a part of the Met Gala Host Committee, a first for a K-Pop idol.

Many waited in anticipation to see what her look would be for the event, first getting a preview outside of her hotel.
The idol wore a custom Robert Wun gown featuring stone detailing along the sheer design. Up close, Lisa’s hair was styled differently from previous looks, with a piece running across her forehead.

Initial reactions were mixed, with many praising her visuals while others found the look boring and questioned some styling choices

However, once the idol took to the actual red carpet at the event, the look came all together for many. Along with the gown, a stunning head piece featuring arms made to mimic Lisa’s own.
