Jennie just completed her Met Gala hat trick in, what else? A stunning look from Chanel.
For the third year in a row, the global pop superstar attended the fashion event held on the first Monday in May, where she stole the show in an outfit courtesy of her favorite French fashion house. And with her look, the “Mantra” singer looked she was transported straight out of Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

The strapless design featured a silk hem along the top, with pearl buttons dotting the bodice and white peaks jutting out from beneath. Meanwhile, thick strands of white pearl necklaces hung in front of the dress, while a split hem in the center of the skirt revealed layers of milky material underneath.

To complete the look, Jennie added her most Hepburn touch with a two-tone boater hat that matched the rest of the ensemble, and she slipped into a pair of midnight black heels to round things out.
It was no surprise to see Jennie repping Chanel, giving that she serves as a global ambassador for the brand, and she is often endearingly referred to as the “Human Chanel.” (When she graced the cover of Harper’s Bazaar for our October 2024 Home Issue, she modeled a number of fabulous pieces from the house, naturally.)
This wasn’t Jennie’s first time showing up in Chanel to the Met Gala. In fact, she chose the exact same color scheme when she made her debut back in 2023. Then, the K-pop star pulled a vintage look from the house’s Fall 1990 collection, which was a white strapless minidress with a floral ornament pinned to the front and a black silk belt, which coordinated with her inky platform heels and opera gloves.
The look honored the tenure of former creative director Karl Lagerfeld, who Jennie actually got to meet before his passing in 2019.
In her cover story with Bazaar, Jennie opened up about the time that they met, saying: “Just the fact that I got to talk to him, to have him see me wearing what he made—all of that was enough. I am still very honored.”
