Jennie Looks Regal at the Met Gala in a Stunning Royal Blue Look

After speculation about her presence in New York City over the past few days, Jennie Kim took the internet by storm with her return to the Met Gala. A year after her first attendance at the event, Jennie made her comeback in a drastically different, but equally show-stopping look — an Alaïa royal blue gown paired with a sophisticated up-do.   

Beauty in Blue

Jennie was first spotted coming out of The Mark Hotel on the Upper East Side to a crowd of awaiting fans and photographers. The multi-hyphenate talent made a bold appearance in a royal blue minidress with a trailing cap, custom-made by the Parisian label Alaïa (founded by the late Tunisian designer Azzedine Alaïa). With a mock neckline and midriff cut-out detail, Jennie’s dress capitalized on contrasting elements and asymmetry. Her monochromatic outfit was complete with simple blue heels and a jewelry set comprising pearl earrings and a matching waist chain.

A subtle glimmering eyeshadow base and bold eyeliner complemented Jennie’s color palette for the evening. The singer paired her understated makeup with an elaborate hairdo that epitomized elegance.

Fashion’s Favorite Star

Since her debut in 2016, Jennie has donned Alaïa on several occasions. From darker aesthetics to brighter looks, the pop star has tried everything at least once and her newest venture with Alaïa is further evidence that Jennie is a versatile and adventurous fashion enthusiast.

With another successful Met Gala appearance under her belt, Jennie continues to effortlessly prove her fashion prowess. The K-pop idol-turned-global sensation has constructed a repertoire with the world’s largest brands, ranging from Chanel, for which she is most known, to Gentle Monster, Jacquemus, and now, Alaïa.
