Lisa of BLACKPINK stunned fans and fashion watchers alike with a daring, art-inspired outfit during the group’s “DEADLINE” World Tour stop in Jakarta. Taking to Instagram on November 8, the global superstar shared behind-the-scenes photos with the caption, “Thank you for clearing the rain for us Jakarta. It was a special one.”
However it was her bold costume that stole the spotlight — a lingerie-inspired set worn over her clothes, intentionally styled to mimic underwear.
Earlier, the K-pop star recently drew intense public scrutiny after her appearance at an international airport. Lisa was spotted in a casual yet striking outfit consisting of jeans, a crop top, and a matching hoodie. However, it wasn’t the coordination of her look that caught attention—it was the graphic design on her hoodie that stirred the pot.
The hoodie appeared to depict an image resembling lingerie, which many netizens mistook from afar as Lisa wearing undergarments in public. The visual confusion quickly spread across social media, triggering heated debate about appropriateness and taste in celebrity airport fashion.
Criticism online was swift, with some users describing the outfit as “provocative” and “unsuitable for public settings.” The search phrase “Lisa wearing lingerie in public” even trended on multiple platforms, illustrating the magnitude of public reaction.
This incident adds to a string of recent controversies involving Lisa’s wardrobe choices. During her concert in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on October 19, Lisa wore a bold bodysuit with high-cut details that left little to the imagination. As she performed dynamic choreography, the revealing outfit led to several awkward moments on stage, drawing both admiration and backlash.
Critics likened the stage outfit to a bikini, expressing concerns over the increasing sexualization of female idols. “It’s too much,” one commenter wrote. “She’s a global star, but this just feels unnecessary.” Others defended her, stating that the fashion reflects performance art and empowerment, not exploitation.
Moreover, Lisa’s appearance at the 2025 Met Gala reignited debates on cultural sensitivity. Her bodysuit, which featured portraits of prominent Black historical figures like Rosa Parks, was meant to honor their legacy. However, the placement of those images on certain parts of the garment was deemed “disrespectful” by many, prompting accusations of insensitivity and poor taste.
These fashion choices have placed Lisa under a spotlight where celebrity style intersects with public values, cultural representation, and gender norms. While some praise her for breaking boundaries, others argue that there’s a thin line between bold and inappropriate.
As Lisa continues her solo ventures post-BLACKPINK, the public’s perception of her image—especially her fashion—remains a hot topic. Whether this is a calculated move toward redefining K-pop norms or an unintended consequence of global stardom, one thing is certain: Lisa’s wardrobe will keep making headlines.
