The K-pop sensation BLACKPINK is at the center of buzz with rumors suggesting they might attend the Met Gala 2025 in Mugler outfits. Fans, known as BLINKs, are sharing their excitement and skepticism online, especially with the group’s 2025 World Tour approaching.
Rumors of a Group Appearance
Talk of BLACKPINK attending the Met Gala 2025 started with a post on X claiming the group could make a grand entrance in Mugler haute couture. This unverified rumor mentioned all four members—Jennie, Rosé, Lisa, and Jisoo—appearing together at the event, set for May 5, 2025, in New York City. The theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” celebrates Black dandyism and fashion history.
Jennie attended the Met Gala in 2023 and 2024, wearing Chanel and Alaïa. Rosé made her debut in 2021 with Saint Laurent. Lisa and Jisoo have yet to attend, making the idea of a full group appearance thrilling for fans. However, no official confirmation from Mugler, YG Entertainment, or the members has surfaced.

Another post suggested Lisa might attend alone, as Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo are reportedly in South Korea rehearsing for BLACKPINK’s comeback. This claim also lacks proof and has fueled debates among fans.
“n lisa is still going to the met gala while jennie, rose n jisoo r in korea starting rehearsals for blackpink cb, yes they r practicing while lisa dgaf n is traveling w frederick after coachella n then choosing clothes for the met, which talks ab black culture, the way she is” — X user @pridiprifor, April 28, 2025
BLINKs’ Mixed Reactions
The rumors have sent BLINKs into a frenzy, with reactions ranging from hope to caution. Many fans dream of seeing all four members together on the Met Gala red carpet, especially since they’ve never attended as a group. Others urge restraint, pointing to past unconfirmed rumors.
“ROSÈ AND JENNIE BOTH AT THE MET GALA WE WON” “Don’t set your expectations too high. This list makes a ton of mistakes every year. Plus it’s more likely Lisa will be there or none of the girls because they have to start getting ready for the blackpink tour” “I hope Rosé and Jennie attend the Met Gala together as a couple of friends. I would love to see them attend together, the group has drifted apart and I find this couple to be very cute, as fans of course” — X users, April 2025
Some BLINKs referenced a viral list of rumored attendees shared by X user @QGdoPOP, which included Jennie and Rosé. The list, unverified, also named stars like Rihanna, Zendaya, and Timothée Chalamet. Fans noted its history of errors, with one saying, “We thought the same last year,” recalling similar unmet hopes for 2024.
“AND TAKE NOTE EVERYONE IT’S ROSÉ 2ND TIME AND JENNIE 3RD TIME ON THEE MET GALA!!!!!!” — X user, April 2025
Skeptical fans worry about BLACKPINK’s busy schedule. With a group comeback planned for May 2025 and the 2025 World Tour starting in July, preparations might limit their availability. One fan commented, “Don’t feed my delulu,” capturing the cautious optimism.
BLACKPINK’s Fashion History at Met Gala
Jennie’s Met Gala appearances have been standout moments. In 2023, she wore a vintage Chanel minidress, recreated for her debut. In 2024, her Alaïa cobalt-blue dress with a bold cutout turned heads. Rosé’s 2021 Saint Laurent black dress was praised for its elegance. Both have strong ties to fashion houses, with Jennie as a Chanel ambassador and Rosé as a Saint Laurent muse.
Lisa, a Celine ambassador, and Jisoo, linked to Dior, have not attended, despite past rumors. In 2021, fans hoped all four would appear for the “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” theme, but only Rosé was present. The prospect of Mugler dressing the group is intriguing, given the brand’s bold, futuristic style, seen in BLACKPINK’s Born Pink tour outfits.
2025 World Tour and Comeback Plans
BLACKPINK’s 2025 World Tour was announced on February 5, 2025, via a teaser video from YG Entertainment. The tour begins July 5, 2025, at Goyang Stadium in South Korea and ends January 18, 2026, at Tokyo Dome in Japan. It includes 13 shows across 10 cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, and London. Additional dates in Southeast Asia and Latin America may be added, as the teaser hinted at “and more.”
“The demand is there for BlackPink, so why not announce a half a year early? Makes it convenient for fans to plan trips.” — Reddit user, February 2025
Tickets for North American and European shows went on sale February 27, 2025, with high demand prompting extra dates at Wembley Stadium and Stade de France. The tour follows the Born Pink World Tour (2022-2023), which grossed $330 million and drew 1.8 million fans, setting records for a female group.
YG Entertainment also confirmed a group comeback in May 2025, the first since Born Pink in 2022. The members have been busy with solo projects: Rosé’s album rosie (December 2024), Lisa’s Alter Ego (February 2025), Jisoo’s AMORTAGE (February 2025), and Jennie’s Ruby (March 2025). Despite solo ventures, they renewed their group contract with YG for activities like the tour and comeback.
“Of course we’re continuing, for sure. We’re so proud of Blackpink, and I love Blackpink. It is not just because of our fans, it’s for ourselves.” — Lisa, ELLE US, September 2024
Mugler’s Connection to BLACKPINK
Mugler’s bold designs align with BLACKPINK’s fierce image. The group wore Mugler looks during the Born Pink tour, showcasing the brand’s dramatic silhouettes. Mugler’s creative director, Casey Cadwallader, has dressed stars like Zendaya and Beyoncé, making a BLACKPINK collaboration plausible. However, no official statement links Mugler to the Met Gala 2025 rumor.
Fan Event and Group Unity
On August 8, 2024, BLACKPINK held a fan sign event in Seoul for their eighth anniversary, their first group appearance since November 2023. The event, “Our Area With Blink,” celebrated their bond with 88 fans. A concert film, Blackpink World Tour [Born Pink] In Cinemas, was released in July 2024, marking their anniversary. These activities show the group’s commitment to BLINKs despite solo pursuits.
As of April 29, 2025, the Met Gala 2025 rumors remain unconfirmed. BLACKPINK is focused on their May 2025 comeback and World Tour rehearsals. BLINKs continue to share their hopes online, but many advise against high expectations until official news emerges. The group’s fashion influence and global stardom make their potential Met Gala appearance a hot topic, but their tour and music remain the priority.
