Jennie has attended the last two Met Galas, making her 2023 debut in a vintage Chanel minidress and following up in a dramatic Alaïa gown in 2024. Tonight, the Blackpink singer is celebrating her third year in a row on the Met stairs. The star channeled the iconic Coco Chanel herself in a black tuxedo gown from Chanel to complement the night’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme. Here she is, leaving her hotel for the gala:

Jennie is fresh off performing at Coachella last month. She released her new solo album, Ruby, on March 7. More music is coming soon from the K-pop star as well. Jennie and her Blackpink bandmates Rosé, Jisoo, and Lisa are coming back together for their world tour this summer. Rosé told The Cut in February that the group “will be coming out with new music soon.”
In January, Jennie spoke to Billboard about what drove her to make Ruby. “While I was on my last Blackpink tour [it wrapped in 2023], I couldn’t stop myself from starting to plan ahead. I’m just like that,” she began. “I listed out the things that I want in my life and started pinpointing, or prioritizing, what’s my very next step. And instantly, I was like, ‘I still haven’t accomplished the dream of releasing a solo album.’ I wanted to satisfy myself by achieving that goal.”
Jennie recorded most of the album in Los Angeles. That choice was “very intentionally done,” she said. “I just really wanted to throw myself out there to experience it. [In Seoul], I was so comforted in an easy environment that I created a long time ago, and I didn’t enjoy it. I was like, ‘No, if this is your career and if this is your life, explore and learn.’ I kept telling myself that.”
