BLACKPINK's Rosé has made history as the first female K-pop artist, along with South Korean rapper CL, to have walked the Met Gala red carpet. Rain was the first K-Pop artist to walk the red carpet of the Met Gala in 2015.

Rosé, who made her solo debut in 2021, walked the carpet with Saint Laurent's creative director Anthony Vaccarello.

Days before the first phase of the Met Gala kicked off on September 13, rumors spread that Rosé would be attending the Met Gala as she was appointed global brand ambassador.

The 24-year-old was also the first one to be appointed in the brand's 59-year history. She was also revealed to be Yves Saint Laurent Beauté's muse recently.

It was also speculated that Rosé would attend the after-party organized by Rihanna.

Rosé was also appointed as the newest global ambassador of Tiffany in April. She reportedly sported jewelry from Tiffany at the Gala.

Speaking of being appointed the brand ambassador, Rosé had said:

"I've always loved wearing Tiffany jewelry. To be part of an iconic brand that has been part of my life for a long time makes it that much more special to me. I am very honored and excited to be a part of the HardWear campaign, and I can't wait for everyone to see it."
