When it comes to K-pop and fashion, few names shine as brightly as Jennie Kim. Known to fans as Jennie of Blackpink, Jennie is not only a sensational idol but also a fashion icon. Renowned for her stunning appearances on the Met Gala red carpet, at the premiere of the American TV show “The Idol,” in her music videos like “You and Me,” and through her trendsetting casual off-duty outfits, Jennie’s unique blend of style and elegance has firmly established her as a fashion trailblazer. In today’s post, we’ll explore how Jennie’s fashion choices have set her apart. So, let’s dive in!
Stage Presence: You and Me outfits
Jennie Kim, the idol, never fails to make a statement with her fashion choices, and her outfits for her most recent single, “You and Me,” are no exception! Her “You and Me” stages highlighted her ballet core fashion, emphasizing leg warmers, ballet flats, tutu-style skirts, and ribbons in her hair. This blend of classical ballet elements with modern chic not only showcased Jennie’s versatility but also brought a fresh, ethereal vibe to her performances, visually captivating audiences worldwide. Jennie’s unique style is what has made her a trendsetter in the highly competitive K-Pop industry!
High Fashion Muse: Red Carpet and Photoshoots
Undeniably, some of Jennie’s most iconic fashion looks have been her Met Gala red carpet outfits. Debuting at the Met Gala in 2023, which honored the late Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel’s creative director for decades, Jennie wore a vintage Chanel look from the Fall/Winter 1990 collection. She stunned in a white strapless mini dress with a scalloped neckline and a black belt featuring Chanel’s signature camellia flower, paired with black opera gloves, opaque black tights, and platform heels, earning her the nickname “Human Chanel” for the night. Fun fact, according to Vogue, “None other than Jennie Kim claims the honor of being Karl Lagerfeld’s last chosen muse before his passing in 2019. Handpicked by the legend himself, the K-Pop idol has had a longtime relationship with Chanel since becoming the face of Chanel Beauty in 2017 and the house’s official global ambassador in 2019.”

The next year, with the theme “The Garden of Time,” inspired by J.G. Ballard’s short story, Jennie dazzled the Met Gala again in a custom-made cobalt-blue minidress by Alaïa featuring a beautifully draped hemline, an asymmetrical cutout, and a one-sleeve shoulder that turned into a full-length train. She accessorized with a gold belly chain and pearl drop earrings, making her one of the most talked-about guests of the night!
Going viral as the global ambassador of Channel
Outside of the Met Gala, Jennie Kim has had the fashion world twisted around her finger for years—as the global ambassador of Channel, Jennie’s appearances at their fashion shows consistently go viral. Earlier this year, she captivated the audience in a black dress featuring intricate embroidery and ruching, complete with a braided updo, catching the eye of the biggest names in fashion.
“The Idol”: Jennie stunned the Cannes Film Festival
Moreover, Jennie stunned the Cannes Film Festival last May, promoting the controversial HBO series “The Idol” (in which she had a minor role), in a breathtaking black and white Chanel gown. The intricate detailing perfectly highlighted her stunning silhouette. Jennie’s Cannes look will go down in history!
Off the red carpet, Jennie’s versatility has also shone in her many different photoshoots and fashion campaigns. An iconic example is her successful “Gentle Salon” campaign, where she embraced a trendy geek chic style. Moreover, she has a significant influence in the fashion world, appearing in photoshoots for brands that she models for, such as Calvin Klein and Jacquemus. In fact, one of my favorite Jennie photoshoots is her cover for Vogue Korea, which came out earlier this year — in every shot, Jennie exudes elegance and grace, effortlessly pulling off each unique look with confidence.

Beyond the Stage: Off-duty Style
Finally, Jennie Kim has a casual street style that is as influential as her on-stage and red-carpet looks. Paparazzi shots and SNS posts often show Jennie in effortlessly chic outfits that quickly become trends among Blinks worldwide—she has a talent for mixing basic pieces with trendy accessories, creating stylish yet casual looks. Whether it’s a fitted crop top paired with cargo pants or a cozy oversized sweatshirt styled with a layered skirt and long boots, Jennie’s casual outfits always hit the mark.
A key element of Jennie Kim’s off-duty style is her ability to mix high-end designer items with more affordable pieces, giving off a luxurious yet approachable feel. She often tones down her blazers with wide jeans, adding a touch of relaxed sophistication to her look. Prioritizing comfort, whether at dance practice or traveling, Jennie reaches for relaxed fits, soft fabrics, and easy-to-wear silhouettes. On tour, she’s often seen in Blackpink merch shirts, showcasing her support for the group and connecting with fans on a more personal level.
