All four members attended for the first time ever, and the internet loved (almost) every second of it. But not everything that came out of the night was positive.
BLACKPINK’s Shocking “2026 Met Gala” Group Photos Spark Strong Reactions
Emily Jang, the creative director at Lisa’s company LLOUD, posted on Instagram a screenshot of a conversation in which she sent someone a photo of Lisa’s Met Gala look. The response, which she shared publicly, has been slammed as “shady” by fans online.
She’s the only one that understood the assignment.

BLACKPINK fans were quick to call it out as a direct dig at Jisoo, Rosé, and Jennie. Naturally, a lot of backlash followed.

Many pointed out that posting something like that — especially as someone on Lisa’s team — was deeply unprofessional. Others noted it could come across as dismissive of the other members’ looks and efforts.
At this point Rosé is the only one who doesn’t have problematic team. So grad she’s surrounded by professional ones https://t.co/EFFPejlU9u
