Flashing light displays, arresting visuals and heart-thumping energy. That’s what anyone would expect from a Blackpink world tour. From fashion FROW to beauty campaigns, the K-pop mega group has been making headlines but their fans have long willed their return to what they do best: making music. And so they did. Comeback season was upon them last September as they released their second studio album since debuting in 2016, titled Born Pink. This was accompanied by two extravagant music videos for their headlining tracks, ‘Shut Down’ and ‘Pink Venom’, followed by one very exciting announcement—their world tour.
With concerts, gigs and raves in full swing across the globe, the group kicked off their nine-month tour in Seoul on 15 October. And so the Blinks (Blackpink’s official fanbase name) swarmed the KSPO Dome seats, filling up every single seat that had been made available. Consequently, their infallible sell-out rate was mirrored at every show since, from Houston and Chicago all the way to the cities of Paris and Copenhagen. And in return, the four members—Jennie, Rosé, Lisa and Jisoo—showed up with their best performances of the group’s addictive hits, from ‘How You Like That’ to melodic favourites such as ‘Playing with Fire’ and ‘Don’t Know What To Do’.
But dynamic stages aside, the US and Europe leg of their tour also saw a stellar range of delicious fashion pulls that was in line with each of the members’ personal styles. Whilst creative looks for the girls had been dreamed up by the group’s long-standing stylist Minhee Park, it’s of ample reminder here that each of the Blackpink members are ambassadors for the major fashion houses such as Chanel, Dior, Celine and Saint Laurent. Of course, the maisons wasted no time in crafting out custom looks meant for them to wear on-stage; Jennie saw a snow white Chanel ensemble for her solo stage whilst Rosé shrugged into a chic biker jacket from Saint Laurent. And when they weren’t on stage? The K-pop stars granted us with a sizable number of off-duty looks that were primed for the hours they enjoyed abroad—from Paris all the way to Abu Dhabi.
As they embark on the Asia leg of their tour, cast your gaze over the best fashion moments spotted during the Blackpink World Tour so far, all below. Continue to watch this space for more updates.
