Jennie’s Custom Alaïa Dress for the 2024 Met Gala
Jennie stuns in Alaïa, marveling fans in a blue monochromatic masterpiece.
K-pop sensation Jennie Kim, renowned simply as Jennie of BLACKPINK, surprised fans and stole the spotlight at the 2024 Met Gala with a breathtakingly beautiful custom Alaïa gown. Embracing the theme "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” JENNIE's frock designed by Pieter Mulier was an understated interpretation of timeless elegance.
Crafted from a luxurious crepe georgette and boasting a mesmerising cobalt hue, it took over 200 hours and a staggering 13 meters of fabric to create. The asymmetrical drape flowed seamlessly, featuring a dramatic train and a daring cut-out waist. This singular piece of cloth transformed into a cascading bubble skirt, highlighting Jennie's signature style that’s a fusion of edginess and sophistication. Her waist was accentuated by a chain embellished with natural, irregular baroque pearls and matching jewels, echoing the intricate details showcased in the Summer-Fall 2024 show of the Maison. Complementing her waist chain are earrings featuring two large pearls, mirroring the elegance of her ensemble with their unique simplicity.
To complete the look, the star accessorized with precision by opting for heels in the same shade of blue. With straps tied elegantly around her ankle, her heels harmonized seamlessly with the gown – creating a cohesive aesthetic that exuded contemporary sophistication and poise.
As Jennie graced the Met Gala red carpet for the second time, her presence epitomized the intersection of fashion and artistry, showcasing her fashion prowess and cementing her status as a global trendsetter.
