Lisa’s Stunning Met Gala Debut Ignites the Internet: Outshining Her BLACKPINK Sisters’ Previous Appearances?

BLACKPINK’s Lisa made a spectacular and headline-grabbing debut at the Met Gala 2025, held on May 6 (KST) at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art — instantly commanding global attention with a look described by fans as ‘blazing hot down to every breath.’

A Met Gala Debut That Broke the Mold

This year’s theme, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,’ honored Black identity and dandy tailoring, with the dress code ‘Tailored for You.’ While many stars interpreted the theme with sharp suits and structured silhouettes, Lisa stood out with a daring and controversial look — and in doing so, shattered comparisons to her BLACKPINK sisters’ past appearances.

Lisa wore a custom Louis Vuitton ensemble consisting of embroidered tights, a statement blazer, and a decorative bodysuit — but it was her no-pants silhouette, boldly exposing her lower back and upper thighs, that became the talk of the night.

While the look divided netizens, it also earned widespread acclaim for its boldness, artistic detail, and high-fashion polish. Within hours, Lisa’s name trended globally, accompanied by hashtags like ‘Lisa Met Gala 2025’ and ‘Queen of the Night.’

Controversial Yet Celebrated

The visual shock of Lisa’s exposed lower half sparked debate — some labeled it too revealing for the prestigious event. Still, her willingness to break boundaries at her first-ever Met Gala was praised as a power move in image reinvention.

In contrast, Jennie (2024) and Rosé (2021) were previously criticized for playing it too safe with their Met Gala outfits, described as underwhelming and out-of-place among the event’s high-drama fashion elite. Lisa’s look, by contrast, was lauded as ‘high-risk, high-reward.’

Backing the buzz was praise from major figures in fashion and entertainment. According to People and EToday, a senior Louis Vuitton executive and actor Patrick Schwarzenegger both posted Lisa’s look to their Instagram Stories, praising her visual impact and bold styling.

Lisa’s Met Gala debut may have sparked controversy, but it also established her as a serious global fashion force — elevating her image beyond pop stardom into style icon territory.

In a single night, she not only silenced comparisons to her BLACKPINK bandmates’ earlier Met Gala appearances but also redefined what a K-pop idol can bring to fashion’s biggest stage.
