Stray Kids scripted history after becoming the first K-pop band to attend the Met Gala
Met Gala 2024 just ended but the chatter about the K-celebs' fashion choices is sticking around longer than a glitter stain on a designer gown. The biggest fashion event of the year once again captured the world's attention with its display of celebrity style and haute couture. This year, however, marked a historic moment for the Korean music industry as several K-pop idols including Stray Kids and BLACKPINK's Jennie Kim attended the event.
BLACKPINK's Jennie attended the event for the second time. For the unversed, the K-pop idol made her red carpet-debut in 2022. For the fashion gala, Jennie wore a custom-made blue mini-dress from the shelves of Alaïa, featuring an asymmetrical cut-out across the midriff. Her sleek ponytail and pearl earrings perfectly complemented her look.
Coming back to Stray Kids, The group made its red carpet debut and scripted history as the group became the first K-pop band to attend the Met Gala. The eight members of the group wore custom-made outfits from the shelves of Tommy Hilfiger. The brand successfully incorporated its signature red, white, and blue colour palette alongside exquisite floral accents. The Stray Kids made a grand entrance, initially appearing in what seemed like ordinary wool peacoats. However, as they revealed their outfits, the linings formed into the American flag.
Leading the pack was Bang Chan, the group's leader, who sported a classic navy three-piece wool suit adorned with red piping and a gold floral pin at the lapel. Meanwhile, Felix, known for his runway appearances, looked handsome in an all-white silk suit intricately embroidered with flowers, perfectly complementing the "Garden of Time" dress code.
