On May 5, 2025, BLACKPINK’s Rosé arrived at The Mark Hotel in Manhattan, hinting at a possible appearance at the 2025 Met Gala. The hotel has become a focal point for pre-gala sightings.

Rosé appeared in a fitted dark ensemble featuring a crop top, pencil skirt, and jacket. She paired the look with white sneakers and carried a black handbag. It is the identical outfit she sported at Charli XCX’s live show.

The 28-year-old greeted fans with a quick wave before entering. In 2021, she made her Met Gala debut after a special invite from Saint Laurent’s chief creator, Anthony Vaccarello. She became the first female from K-pop to attend the fashion event.


Just days before reaching New York, BLACKPINK’s Rosé was spotted at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix on May 3, where she waved the checkered flag at the race’s conclusion.

Her appearance was tied to the marketing push for F1 the Album, the official soundtrack for the forthcoming sports movie F1. Her track, Messy, is featured on the album.
