BLACKPINK Jennie’s 2026 Met Gala Makeup Look Sparks Surprising Reactions From K-Netz

BLACKPINK Jennie is facing backlash over her 2026 Met Gala look.

The controversy began when international fans criticized Jennie’s outfit and makeup as bland and boring. Many pointed out the light shades and sheer fabric, calling the overall style “chopped.”

Soon after, a close-up shot of Jennie’s makeup went viral in Korea. Unlike the international reaction, Korean netizens praised her bold, artistic choice.

Jennie’s look featured very thin, bleached brows, pink eyeshadow, and matching highlighter. Freckles were drawn across her cheeks and nose, with barely-there makeup overall.

Fans shared mixed but mostly positive reactions:

“You gotta try this and that. She’s pretty enough. You don’t always have to do idol style makeup.”

“I think the makeup is the whole point. It’s unique and her brows remind me of those of a black and white movie star from tens of years ago. I like it especially so.”

“The eyeshadow and lip color doesn’t seem to suit her.”

“I like the new challenge, and her brows remind of of an olden day film star’s. Jennie’s an artist that is fun to watch.”

“She’s so pretty.”

As the situation unfolded, it’s clear Jennie’s Met Gala styling sparked divided opinions. But no matter the criticism, she remains beloved by many fans who admire her willingness to push boundaries.
