BLACKPINK's Lisa Faces Backlash Over Met Gala Outfit
Lisa of BLACKPINK attended the Met Gala on May 5, 2025, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This prestigious event, known for its fashion and charity, had the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' this year. Lisa showcased a daring look featuring a pantsless ensemble designed by Pharrell Williams, who is both a singer and creative director for Louis Vuitton.
However, her outfit sparked controversy when international media outlets, including the Daily Mail and Page Six, criticized it. They reported that Lisa wore Louis Vuitton lingerie adorned with a collage of women, one of whom bore a striking resemblance to civil rights activist Rosa Parks.
Social media erupted with users expressing their discontent, with comments like 'It's incredibly disrespectful to feature Rosa Parks on lingerie' and 'Who thought this was a good idea?' The phrase 'Rosa Parks lingerie' quickly gained traction online.
In response to the backlash, Louis Vuitton clarified to The Cut that the prints were created by artist Henry Taylor, who captures portraits of people he encounters in life. However, when asked if Rosa Parks' image was specifically on Lisa's outfit, they avoided a direct answer, stating that Taylor depicts both famous and unknown individuals in his work.
As of now, Lisa's team has not commented on the controversy surrounding her outfit.
