20 Times BLACKPINK Proved the Little Black Dress Is a Timeless Wardrobe Staple — See Photos
For years now, the members of BLACKPINK have been making the world their runway. Whether it's an appearance in Seoul, the Met Gala in New York City, a performance at Coachella, or a fashion show in Paris, the group is guaranteed to bring their A-game wherever they go. While Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa are often seen sporting the latest trends, they've also had some timeless looks over the years.
There's one look in particular that BLACKPINK has proven a classic: the little black dress. Fitting their group name, the members of BLACKPINK have made this wardrobe staple one of their signature looks. At concerts, fashion shows, red carpets, and even in a casual Instagram post, the singers have shown us time and time again that you can't go wrong with a LBD.
In an era where trends quickly come and go, sticking to the classics can seem a bit daunting. Luckily, BLACKPINK has given us plenty of style inspo, so we've re-visited some of their most memorable LBD looks over the years.

Via Instagram, Jennie showed us how to style a Pinterest-worthy LBD look. She wore a Courrèges dress with rain boots from the Balenciaga and Crocs collab. She reified her spot on our spring fashion boards by accessorizing the look with knee-high socks and a simple necklace.
2. Rosé's LBD With a Pop of Color
Going with an LBD doesn't always entail an all-black look, as demonstrated by Rosé. Elevating her previous sheer look, Rosé brought some sparkle to Yves Saint Laurent's pre-Oscars party in March 2022. Her glittering dress had speckles of red and blue, giving the look an unconventional pop of color.
3. Rosé's Met Gala 2021 Dress
As one of the first women in K-pop to attend the Met Gala, Rosé stepped on the red carpet in a trusty LBD from YSL. Of course, for the biggest night in fashion, Rosé gave it a twist with a white bow and styled it with a statement choker necklace, drop earrings, and pointy pumps. For glam, she went for a messy ponytail and graphic eyeliner, adding a bit of edge to the look.
4. Jisoo's Puff Sleeves
At a Jimmy Choo event in January 2020, Jisoo wore a puff sleeve dress with a white clutch and heels and let her pink lipstick be her pop of color. While she truly captured the timeless, chic, and elegant essence of the LBD here, she also wore a trend-forward silhouette that we're seeing a lot of these days.
5. Lisa's Floral LBD

With her trendy and casual signature style, Lisa made the LBD look her own in a floral-print dress. She styled it with Y2K-inspired accessories including a fanny pack, bead necklace, and rhinestone heart-shaped barrettes securing her space buns.
6. Jennie's Belted Blazer
Before the corset trend took off, Jennie was already serving cinched waist back in March 2019. She elevated her blazer dress with a satin belt and let the outfit do the talking with her simple clean beauty look.
7. Rosé's Coachella 2021 Look
BLACKPINK's Coachella 2021 performance was iconic for a number of reasons, and one of those happened to be the outfits. Even while performing on stage, Rosé was schooling us on the LBD. She wore this sparkly number with a belt and a statement necklace, giving it the perfect level of boldness for a fiery performance.
8. Lisa's Unconventional Blazer Dress
Blazer dresses aren't exactly new, but at this BVLGARI event in October 2019, Lisa put her own twist on a classic. Instead of wearing the blazer traditionally, Lisa wore just one sleeve, allowing the coat's collar to go across her chest. She completed the unique look with simple jewelry and a red hot manicure.
9. Lisa's Cover-Up

10. Jisoo's Posh Tweed
For a September 2019 Cartier event, Jisoo channeled her inner Posh Spice with this LBD and took it a step further by layering a tweed jacket over it. Patent heels and delicate jewelry kept it elegant and chic.

It looks like Jisoo can do the Sporty Spice look too. While exploring Madrid, Spain, Jisoo sported a tennis-inspired LBD for a casual chic look. She accessorized with a Y2K-style bag, sunglasses, and heeled sandals.
12. Jisoo's Layered Look
In February 2019, Jisoo got a head start on the cut-out trend by layering her LBD with a bedazzled collar and balloon sleeves. She finished the look with a high ponytail tied by a doll-like bow and a sleek pair of point-toe booties, cueing the K-Pop fan to say, “her duality.”
13. Jennie's LBD Accessorized to the Nines
One of the perks of the LBD is having fun with accessories. At the 2016 Melon Music Awards, Jennie did just that. Her wide gold belt and patent stiletto booties were quite the statement.

For the “Pink Venom” music video, Rosé gave the classic LBD an edge. She wore a patent dress with an A-line skirt and off-the-shoulder silhouette. To complete the rocker vibes, she wore a choker necklace and put her hair in a half-up, half-down top bun.

While attending the Dior show at Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2023, Jisoo opted for a strapless LBD with a cinched waist, adorned by a bow.

Also at PFW S/S 2023, Rosé wore a bodycon LBD to the YSL show. She paired the classic look with tights and patent heels. Her hair was tied in a sleek high ponytail with face-framing layers. The look was the perfect style inspo for an early fall night out.
18. Rosé's Sculptural LBD
During an appearance for Rimowa, Rosé opted to give the classic LBD a bit more flair. She wore a sparkly corseted black mini dress with a full, stiff skirt that looked like a piece of art. To give it an extra edge, she paired it with a pair of holographic platform pumps. Later on, she even wore them with trendy bayonetta glasses, proving that the LBD can be plenty fun.
19. Jisoo's Vest Dress
Jisoo combined the timeless LBD look with the vest trend at the Spring/Summer 2024 Dior show in Paris. She styled it for a grunge look with lace-up boots and bold eyeliner.
20. Rosé's Peekaboo Lace LBD
While serving on the ANDAM prize jury on June 27, 2024, Rosé wore a satin LBD with a thigh-high draped asymmetrical skirt that revealed a matching black lace underlay for a fun summery twist. Keeping it elegant and chic, she went for simple styling, wearing a pair of black strappy heels, opting for sleek gold jewerly, embracing the no-necklace trend, and tying her hair in a low bun.
