Serving as the fashion house’s global ambassador, the K-pop star wore a turquoise two-piece with a light blue strappy top and matching skirt. She accessorized the ensemble with a lemon-yellow shoulder bag and black stilettos. Her lingerie-inspired look mirrored the brand's new direction.

The 29-year-old drew broad press attention at the show. Leading fashion publications like Vogue France, Vogue US, ELLE US, and ELLE Japan posted her photos on social media soon after. At the event site, she greeted actress Lily-Rose Depp, her The Idol co-star. The BLACKPINK rapper also had brief interactions with Japanese actress Nana Komatsu and songstress Gracie Abrams. Fans, however, remain divided over her outfit choice.
