The White Lotus Season 3 star BLACKPINK's Lisa wore a glittering black blazer and Louis Vuitton undies for her 2025 Met Gala look. The Thai superstar's 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' outfit drew controversy as fans speculated if Lisa's underwear featured several portraits, including that of Rosa Parks.
Thankfully, the luxury brand provided an explanation behind Henry Taylor's unique new work.
Did Lisa have Rosa Parks' face on her underwear?
Contrary to popular belief, it does not seem like Rosa Parks was featured on BLACKPINK Lisa's 2025 Met Gala outfit. The unique embroidery that drew controversy was designed by Henry Taylor.
The artist has previously worked on a similar design for Louis Vuitton's Men's Spring-Summer 2024 show. Pharrell Williams, the creative director of Louis Vuitton's menswear and 2025 Met Gala co-chair, commissioned the look.
As per the brand's official statement, the portraits in Henry Taylor's embroidery represent the 'portraits of figures who have been a part of the artist's life.' The brand did not mention if the portraits represent any real-life figures or celebrities (via People).
Meanwhile, K-pop fans have long hailed Lisa as a 'fashion icon' for her edgy outfits and daring looks, even before her Met Gala debut. In an interview with Vogue, the 'Money' crooner gushed over how fashion is a part of her artistic identity.
The HBO actress noted, 'Fashion and I are inseparable.' She added, 'It's important to me because fashion, along with music, is my way of expressing myself. I get inspired by the various styles, and I've learned to be confident [in my choices]. And also, it's just fun!'
Lisa's iconic fashion sense has also helped her bag multiple brand ambassadorships over the years. The singer became the global brand ambassador for the Celine Haute Parfumerie collection a few years back. Later, the rapper also became the face of Bulgari in 2020.
For Bulgari, Lisa starred in multiple campaigns, including the 'Serpenti,' 'Bzero One,' and 'Unexpected Wonders' collections. A few months after her Bulgari partnership, Lisa became the first K-pop artist to be the face of MAC Cosmetics. The 'Rockstar' singer unveiled her first collaboration with the makeup brand in November 2020.'Rockstar' singer unveiled her first collaboration with the makeup brand in November 2020.

K-pop stars Jimin and Jung Kook of BTS discharged from military service as band's reunion nears
YEONCHEON, South Korea (AP) — K-pop superstars Jimin and Jung Kook are the latest and final members of BTS to be discharged from South Korea's mandatory military service. The pair wore their military uniforms Wednesday, saluted and addressed fans who had assembled to see the pair after their discharge. Jung Kook thanked the journalists and fans who traveled to see him and Jimin after their discharge and acknowledged how different it was to be back in the spotlight. 'Actually, it's been so long since I've been in front of cameras, and I didn't even put on makeup, so I'm a bit embarrassed,' he said. 'I don't know what to say.' They enlisted in December 2023, one day after RM and V did the same. The latter were discharged on Tuesday. They saluted upon their release Tuesday in Chuncheon City as about 200 fans, some of whom traveled from Mexico, Turkey and Brazil, cheered. V thanked fans Tuesday for their patience in waiting for him and RM's return and teased the band's reunion. "If you can just wait a little bit longer, we will return with a really amazing performance.' The seven singers of the popular K-pop band plan to reunite as a group sometime in 2025 after they finish their service. Six of the group's seven members served in the army, while Suga is fulfilling his duty as a social service agent, an alternative form of military service. He will be discharged later this month. Jin, the oldest member of K-pop supergroup BTS, was discharged in June 2024. J-Hope was discharged in October. In South Korea, all able-bodied men aged 18 to 28 are required by law to perform 18-21 months of military service under a conscription system meant to deter aggression from rival North Korea. The law gives special exemptions to athletes, classical and traditional musicians, and ballet and other dancers if they have obtained top prizes in certain competitions and are assessed to have enhanced national prestige. K-pop stars and other entertainers aren't subject to such privileges. However, in 2020, BTS postponed their service until age 30 after South Korea's National Assembly revised its Military Service Act, allowing K-pop stars to delay their enlistment until age 30. There was heated public debate in 2022 over whether to offer special exemptions of mandatory military service for BTS members, until the group's management agency announced in October 2022 that all seven members would fulfill their duties. ___

Sly Stone channeled multitudes; they were all gloriously American
There are a host of images of Sly Stone in which his onstage style serves as a celebration of the freedom and power that were the by-products of being a rock star, but also the jet fuel. He could be a blend of blinding sequins, flashing metallics and all manner of hats, from broad brims and newsboys to a crochet bucket hat adorned with a glamorous brooch. His face could be haloed in a wondrously buoyant Afro. His hair could reach skyward in a rainbow-colored mohawk. And it could be straight-combed and curled like a child's on Easter Sunday. When he performed, he could swagger with a bravado that spoke of street cool, and he could lower his voice and tilt his head like a preacher halfway through a sermon but just getting warmed up.
