BLACKPINK’s Lisa hits major milestones with Oscars and Met Gala appearances, acting debut, and solo album launch
Lisa from BLACKPINK hit a major milestone on March 2, 2025, becoming the first K-pop star to serve live at the Oscars. She appeared alongside Doja Cat and RAYE during the 97th Academy Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles.
Just a few days before, Lisa dropped her first solo full-length album, Alter Ego, on February 28, 2025. It followed her earlier solo debut project, Lalisa, which came out in September 2021.
In February 2025, she also premiered her acting career with HBO’s The White Lotus season three. On May 5, 2025, Lisa walked her first Met Gala red carpet wearing a custom Louis Vuitton outfit.
The design sparked online discussion over certain visuals. Certain people wondered if it alluded to Rosa Parks. The brand later clarified that the imagery was based on art by Henry Taylor and not linked to Parks.
One day prior to her Met Gala event, she made a remarkable presence at the 2025 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa topped the 2025 Met Gala female red carpet power ranking with her Louis Vuitton debut look, earning the highest Media Impact Value (MIV) of $21.3M, per Launchmetrics. She was followed by Freen, Jennie, Zendaya, and Rihanna.
