BLACKPINK is one of the world’s biggest girl bands, so it’s no surprise that they’re continuing their world domination on the 2022 VMAs red carpet.
On the heels of their comeback, the K-Pop group—featuring Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé—made their MTV Video Music Awards debut in matching black ensembles. The girl group, who’s members are all known for their distinctive, edgy styles and partnerships with high fashion brands, chose to coordinate with sophisticated, vampy looks.
Lisa, who was just on the cover of V Magazine, wore a two-piece set complete with cape pants and sandals, while her bandmate, Jisoo wore a floral maxi dress with lace details. Jennie, who is set to make her acting debut next to Lily Rose-Depp in HBO Max‘s new show, The Idol, wore a pleated low-rise skirt and strappy crop top. To round out the foursome, icy blonde Rosé wore a timeless long sleeve mini dress with a wrapped, cascading floral detail. They could all step on me, collectively, and I would thank them. And probably ask them to adopt me afterwards.

BLACKPINK’s two-year hiatus finally came to an end earlier this month when the group released “Pink Venom,” from their upcoming album Born Pink. They’re also set to go on one of the largest world tours a K-pop girl group has ever had later this year—meaning there’s more eyes than ever on Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé.
The group is performing alongside other big stars including Lizzo, J Balvin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Snoop Dogg.

While black is enough to make a statement on its own, there is only one color that can make it look that much better. For years, the combination of stark black with opulent gold has permeated collections and wardrobes everywhere, making it the go-to for all occasions that call for insouciant, no-nonsense glamour. At the Fendi Spring/Summer 2022 runway, in particular, the pairing came in the form of black lace and appliqué detail dresses styled with matching accessories with gold hardware.

To make the most of the combination, flip it to wear a gold dress like this pleated Altuzarra number with the pearl-studded black Chanel bag for an all-out maximalist look. Create your own runway moment with the lace Erdem dress, which will look best with solid gold heels like the Jimmy Choo wedges, and pearl earrings like the creations over at Dior. For a pared-back and chic take on the combination, look to an oversized piece such as the feather-trimmed suit by Magda Butrym, or balance out the gold in your outfit by topping it off with a black jacket, as seen at JW Anderson.
