“You look 10 years older” vs. “You exude maturity”… What happened to Jennie

Girl group Blackpink's Jennie was spotted at the Met Gala, considered the largest event in the American fashion industry, and the public's reaction to her styling was mixed.

Jenny attended the 2024 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA on the 6th (local time) and walked the red carpet. This year's Met Gala theme was 'Sleeping Beauty: Reawakening Fashion', and top Hollywood stars such as Zendaya, Ariana Grande, Rita Ora, and Steven Yeun attended the event.

Among these, Jenny also appeared in an unconventional style dress and was in the spotlight. Jenny posed wearing a cobalt blue cut-out dress that hugged her body line. Above the pubic bone, a belt-type accessory decorated with pearls attracted attention. According to a local fashion magazine, the dress Jenny wore was a product of Alaïa, a Tunisian-born French fashion designer brand.

Jenny showed off her charm with a tied up hairstyle, strong eye line, and nude lip color. Regarding this, fans said, “It is luxurious and elegant,” and “It stands out for its unconventional yet mature beauty.” However, some of the public gave unfavorable reviews, saying, "She looks at least 10 years older" and "Last year's Met Gala outfit was very pretty, but this time it looks a little old and the styling seems to reveal more of Jennie's shortcomings than her strengths." It was also put out.

Meanwhile, the Met Gala is a charity fundraising event held every year on the first Monday of May since 1948 by the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. The Met Gala, which has been held for a good cause through charity fundraising, has become famous as an opportunity for global stars to show off their style.
