BLACKPINK’ Lisa has officially made history. Vogue has confirmed that Lisa will join the Host Committee for the Met Gala 2026, one of the most influential and prestigious fashion events in the world. Her inclusion marks a monumental milestone, making her the first K-pop artist ever to be named to the committee.
According to Vogue’s announcement, the Met Gala 2026 will feature a dream lineup of co-chairs: Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and a committee that includes Saint Laurent’s creative director Anthony Vaccarello, actress Zoë Kravitz, and other leading industry figures. Among these names, Lisa’s participation became the biggest surprise immediately sending social media into a frenzy.
The Met Gala Host Committee is far from symbolic. Those selected are recognized as true fashion icons with immense global influence. They help promote the event theme, receive special positioning on the red carpet, and generate significant international media impact. For Lisa, this appointment solidifies her transformation into Asia’s new fashion powerhouse.
A Bold Theme for 2026: “Costume Art”
This year’s Met Gala theme, “Costume Art,” explores the relationship between the human body and fashion as a living sculptural medium. Guests are encouraged to “transform into their own art piece” using surreal silhouettes, body painting, performance-inspired looks, and sculptural concepts.
With such a daring theme, anticipation is high for what Lisa will bring to the red carpet.
Lisa’s Impact at Met Gala 2025
In 2025, Lisa made her Met Gala debut and instantly commanded global attention in a striking Louis Vuitton ensemble. She wore a sculpted black peplum blazer covered in sequins, paired with a form-fitting bodysuit and a pearl chain belt an outfit that perfectly captured her powerful high-fashion aura.
However, the look also sparked controversy. After the event, several posts claimed that the lace artwork on her pants depicted civil rights activist Rosa Parks in a sensitive placement. Although Louis Vuitton clarified that the design was inspired by American artist Henry Taylor’s portraits, the incident became one of the biggest fashion controversies of the year.
Lisa’s Ongoing Fashion Dominance
Despite past controversies, Lisa has continued to cement her status as a fashion icon. In recent months, she’s dominated fashion weeks, red carpets, and luxury events consistently earning praise for her visuals, confidence, and evolving style. Each appearance proves she is not just a K-pop star, but a defining figure in contemporary fashion.
With Lisa now joining the Met Gala 2026 Host Committee, expectations for her next high-fashion statement are higher than ever.
