BLACKPINK's Lisa Faces Controversy over Met Gala Outfit

BLACKPINK member Lisa has sparked significant controversy with her 2025 Met Gala appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she wore a Louis Vuitton ensemble that incorporated artwork by artist Henry Taylor.

The outfit, which featured embroidered portraits on a bodysuit, became the center of heated debate when viewers identified what appeared to be an image of civil rights icon Rosa Parks positioned on the lower portion of the garment. The design, intended as a tribute to Black art and culture, quickly drew criticism across social media platforms.

Fans on X (formerly Twitter) expressed outrage, calling the placement of historical Black leaders' images, particularly Rosa Parks, on what appeared to be undergarments as disrespectful. The controversy has overshadowed Lisa's appearance at the prestigious fashion event, with many questioning the appropriateness of the artistic choice.

The Louis Vuitton creation, while aiming to celebrate Henry Taylor's artwork, has instead raised important questions about cultural sensitivity and the representation of civil rights icons in fashion contexts.
