BLACKPINK Rosé Latest Airport Fit Draws Mixed Reactions: Trendy or Old-Fashioned?

BLACKPINK Rosé’s most recent airport outfit has sparked mixed reactions among Korean netizens.

On June 26, 20245, Rosé was seen leaving for Paris, France, through Incheon International Airport Terminal 2. The idol will be attending the ANDAM Fashion Award as a member of the Andam Jury.

For reference, the jury features the most prominent individuals in the fashion industry and influential figures in the arts and culture. As part of the jury, she will evaluate the submissions from aspiring designers competing for the prize, which includes a financial grant and professional mentorship to help further their fashion careers.

After photos of the idol were shared online, a post titled “Rosé’s outfit on her way out of the country is simple but pretty” was posted to Instiz, one of the most well-known South Korean online community forums. In the post, the original poster shared several photos of Rosé that were shared by Korean media outlets.

The poster also noted that this French chic outfit suits Rosé and looks amazing in photographs. They added that they loved how airy her skirt is, and hoped that more photos of the female idol would be shared soon.

However, reactions to her outfit were mixed. Some claimed her outfit looked old-fashioned, and wondered if this is the best her stylist can do. Others claimed that they found her outfit weird.

On the other hand, many claimed that the outfit was pretty, with some Korean netizens claiming her casual fashion is gorgeous. They added that her style has recently become more diverse, with the female idol trying out all the new up-and-coming trends. Many claimed that her outfit truly showcased her identity as Yves Saint Laurent’s (YSL) brand ambassador, as her outfit exuded the brand’s vibe.
