Jennie Kim is no stranger to a standout red carpet look, and the BLACKPINK superstar continued the trend at the 2024 Met Gala on Monday night (May 6).
The 28-year-old superstar wore a custom-made Alaïa blue mini-dress with an asymmetrical cut-out across the midriff. The dress also featured a high-neck neckline and long train, which Kim paired with a matching pair of strappy heels. She accessorized the look with a sleek ponytail, a gold belly chain and pearl earrings, which matches the elemental feel of the “Garden of Time” dress code.

Last year, Jennie made her red carpet debut, where she revealed to Vogue the advice her BLACKPINK bandmate Rosé gave her after attending the gala in 2022. “Rosie, she was here last year. She told me just have fun, so that’s the plan for today,” the “SOLO” rapper said.
It’s been an exciting new year for Jennie, who revealed at the end of 2023 that she is launching a new label and company called OA. “Hi, this is Jennie. This year was filled with many accomplishments, and I’m so thankful for all the love I’ve received,” the K-pop singer wrote on her Instagram Story. “I’m also about what’s to come, as I start my solo journey in 2024 with a company that I have established called OA. Please show lots of love for my new start with OA and of course BLACKPINK. Thank you.”
In early December, YG Entertainment announced that the agency renewed its exclusive contract with all four members of BLACKPINK, sending the company’s stock soaring on news that its most successful act would remain with the agency.
