Though her arrival on the runway was a surprise, her attendance was teased on Instagram hours earlier, when the brand posted a carousel of images featuring Kim in strapless red dress and thin black shades.
Kim’s friendship with designer Simon Porte Jacquemus is also well-established — the singer has attended multiple of his shows in recent years, most recently for the brand’s holiday campaign last December.
The singer also celebrated a separate fashion moment at the Met Gala last month, where she arrived in a blue custom Alaïa minidress. This year was the singer’s second Met Gala, after her debut in 2023.
Kim also works as an ambassador for Calvin Klein and Chanel. Beyond her fashion and Blackpink duties, she made her acting debut in last year’s The Idol, which also starred Lily-Rose Depp and Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye.
“It’s overwhelming, but I’m grateful and thankful,” she said of the debut last year. “All of those things at the same time.”
