May 5 (UPI) -- Members of K-pop girl groups Blackpink and Aespa walked the red carpet at the 2026 Met Gala.
Blackpink members Jennie, Lisa, Rosé and Jisoo attended the event Monday in New York, along with Karina and Ningning of Aespa.
This year's Met Gala featured a "Costume Art" theme and a "Fashion is Art" dress code.
Jennie, 30, a longtime ambassador for Chanel, wore a strapless column gown from the brand that was covered in 15,000 sequins in different shades of blue. The dress took 540 hours to create.
Thai singer and actress Lisa, 29, sported a white custom Robert Wun gown that featured sculptured arms holding up a veil. The limbs were 3D-scans of Lisa's own arms and were posed in a way to resemble traditional Thai dance positions.
