Jennie can officially mark the Met Gala off her bucket list. The BLACKPINK singer made her Met Gala debut Monday (May 1) in a vintage Chanel dress in honor of Karl Lagerfeld.
The white strapless dress from Chanel’s fall/winter 1990 collection was accessorized with black gloves, tights, a choker, a black belt with a white flower on the front, and $20,000 Chanel Ruban earrings.
With prom season right around the corner, graduations, weddings and other occasions happening this year, now’s the the time to get your formal wear in order.
For the fashionable BLINKs who want to channel Jennie’s effortlessly chic style, here’s a list of everything you need to re-create her Met Gala look — without breaking the bank.
How to Shop the Look:
For formal and casual wear, the strapless mini-dress pictured above is available in sizes ranging from 2-16.
