BLACKPINK Jennie turns Met Gala into her runway, impresses in vintage Chanel dress

BLACKPINK's Jennie made her debut at this year's Met Gala. Stars from across the globe descended at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, like clockwork for the most celebrated Monday of the year. The Met Museum hosted its annual fundraising ball on May 1. While many attendees were marked regulars for the gala, a few celebrities walked up the steps of the Met in lieu of the gala, for the first time.

BLACKPINK Jennie makes her debut

Jennie made her much-awaited debut at Met Gala 2023. She opted for a svelte white mini-dress with a broad pleated hem. The scalloped bust was tied in with a velvet band embellished with a white flower. Gloves and full-length stockings completed Jennie's maiden Met appearance. Once at the red carpet, Jennie candidly shared some advice band member Rose had given to her. Rose had walked the Met red carpet last year, and in Jennie's own words, asked her to simply have fun as the latter made her debut this year. Jennie also went on to share how she was wearing Chanel featured on the 90s runway. Jennie also expressed her gratitude to the Chanel team for putting together the debut look for her.
