Blackpink’s Jennie once again proved why she remains one of fashion’s most influential global ambassadors, turning heads at Chanel’s second Métiers d’Art 2026 show held at the Centre Pompidou Hanwha in Seoul, South Korea on May 27, 2026.
The K-pop superstar arrived in a sleek, reimagined look from Chanel’s Cruise 2027 collection designed by creative director Matthieu Blazy. Rather than wearing the full suit as presented on the runway, Jennie removed the matching jacket and carried it casually, revealing a plunging, backless navy top with crisp white nautical trim. The piece, reminiscent of a one-piece swimsuit silhouette, was cinched at the waist with a prominent gold “double C” metal accent. She paired it with high-waisted navy trousers featuring two rows of signature braided gold buttons.
Accessories added playful sophistication: a fluffy, spotted iteration of the Chanel 25 handbag with cargo pockets, a braided bracelet adorned with clear beads and miniature pearl charms, black leather pointed-toe pumps, and gold starburst earrings tipped with crystals. Her styling perfectly balanced classic Chanel codes pearls, gold buttons, and tailored elegance with a fresh, youthful, and slightly risqué edge.
This appearance comes as Blazy continues to revitalize the historic house. Since assuming the creative role, he has drawn inspiration from themes ranging from the solar system and metamorphosis to urban New York streets and Biarritz’s coastal charm. His collections have earned strong critical praise and commercial success, signaling a vibrant new chapter for Chanel.
Jennie’s presence in Seoul not only highlighted the brand’s growing connection with Asian markets but also underscored her status as a bridge between high fashion and global pop culture. Fans and fashion watchers alike praised her confident interpretation, which felt both respectful to heritage and modern in execution.
As Chanel pushes forward under Blazy’s vision, moments like Jennie’s Seoul appearance illustrate how the maison continues to evolve while honoring its timeless DNA. The event further cements Jennie’s role as one of the most stylish and impactful celebrities in contemporary fashion.
