Blackpink turned heads at the 2025 Met Gala, transforming the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art into a K-pop meets high fashion moment that blended couture and conversation. Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé arrived in sharply tailored looks tied to the Superfine: Tailoring Black Style theme, with Lisa’s Louis Vuitton outfit quickly becoming one of the most talked about appearances of the night.

Each member used the spotlight to extend her influence beyond music and deeper into global fashion culture. Now that the group has cracked fashion’s toughest door, fans are left wondering whether the biggest girl group in the world will be attending the event. 

With Lisa's seat at the Host Committee for the fundraiser, questions about whether Blackpink might be back on the Met steps in 2026 are more persistent than ever. 

Reports about Blackpink’s presence at the 2026 Met Gala remain unconfirmed. There has been no official word that all four members, including Jisoo, who did not attend the previous, will appear together, though fan speculation continues to build. What is confirmed is Lisa’s involvement as part of the host committee, marking a notable milestone for K-pop representation at the event.

That development, combined with sightings of band member Jisoo involved in pre-event activity and online chatter, has fueled hopes of a full group appearance. However, these remain speculative rather than verified plans. For now, any expectation of a complete reunion on the red carpet should be viewed as anticipation rather than certainty.

As for the group’s future, there is no confirmed disbandment. Ongoing plans tied to a 10th-year album and 2026 promotions suggest continued activity, even as the members pursue individual careers. The current trajectory points more toward flexible collaboration than a full separation.

While Blackpink’s Met Gala future remains uncertain, another global star is already confirmed to sit this year out.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to sit out the 2026 Met Gala in New York, breaking a years‑long streak of high‑profile red‑carpet appearances at the fashion industry’s most prestigious fundraiser. Multiple reports attribute her absence to a packed work schedule, including a global press tour for the upcoming season of Citadel and ongoing filming commitments for her new feature Varanasi.

This is expected to keep her on location rather than in Manhattan for the May 4 event. Instead of New York, Chopra’s 2026 award‑show energy is shifting to Los Angeles, where she will be honoured with the Global Vanguard Award at the Gold House Gold Gala on May 9 at the Music Centre.

The recognition marks her second consecutive year receiving the accolade, spotlighting her 25‑year‑plus career, her cross‑continental acting and production work, and her role in elevating South Asian representation across Western and Asia‑Pacific entertainment. Meanwhile, speculation builds around Blackpink and the Met Gala, and the broader conversation continues to evolve around global influence and crossover appeal.
