K-Pop Icon Jennie Steals the Show at Met Gala 2025 With Chanel Tuxedo Gown With a ‘Surprise Twist’

May 8, 2025: K-pop icon and fashion darling Jennie Kim of BLACKPINK made a bold and unforgettable statement at the 2025 Met Gala, aligning perfectly with this year’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, and the dress code, Tailored for You. Dressed in a custom Chanel tuxedo gown, Jennie embraced both elegance and edge with a look that had fans—and the fashion world—buzzing.

The 29-year-old singer and rapper wowed on the blue carpet in a sophisticated off-shoulder jumpsuit adorned with layered pearl necklaces. The outfit was elevated with a dramatic two-toned detachable skirt that trailed behind her, adding volume and theatrical flair. To complete the look, she sported a black and white hat and sleek black heels, proving once again why she remains a muse for Chanel and a Met Gala favorite.

However, the real magic happened inside the gala. Jennie shared a behind-the-scenes video on her Instagram Stories, revealing what she called her “magic trick of the night”—the moment she detached the voluminous skirt to reveal the chic jumpsuit underneath. The transformation was a showstopper, showcasing the versatility and innovation behind her look.

In a carousel post captioned “Tailored for uuuuuuuu”, Jennie offered fans an intimate glimpse into her Met Gala night. The series included a shot of her in a car en route to the venue, a close-up selfie revealing her minimalist makeup, and a mirror pic with fellow stars Sabrina Carpenter, Whitney Peak, and Angèle. Another highlight was a candid video showing the moment she ditched the skirt, revealing the sleek base of her ensemble.

The post concluded with snaps of her walking the blue carpet and sharing a candid laugh with singer Lorde. Fans flooded the comments with praise, calling her “stunning,” “elegant,” and “beyond proud-worthy.”

2025 has already been a milestone year for Jennie. She released her first solo album Ruby, delivered a widely acclaimed performance at Coachella, and was honored with the Global Force Award at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards. Her appearance at the Met Gala added another jewel to an already brilliant year.

From her detachable couture gown to her effortless charm, Jennie once again proved she’s not just following fashion—she’s defining it.
