In front of the camera, Lisa Manoban earns herself the title of the suave rapper-dancer in K-pop’s biggest quartet: Blackpink. Off-cam, she’s known to enjoy her time waltzing around in the sun au naturel, trusty film camera in hand. Just how do we know this? Courtesy of the Blinks for one, but the 26-year-old starlet does not shy away from sharing these parts of her life through her own little snippets on Instagram. As seen via the many stylistic mirror selfies and random outfit captures, Lisa’s off-duty sensibilities sit rather contrarian to the cool and fierce personality portrayed on stage.
As of late, the Blackpink member has been seen enjoying some holiday time abroad—traipsing through the cafes of Paris to the azure waters of Greece. And in true vacation style, she’s documented the fashion of it all. For her days spent in the city, Lisa has religiously taken to some summer ground rules. One, she adopts failsafe styling trick of throwing an oversized shirt over her ensembles for a lighter approach to layering. And two? The constant reach for the lightweight linens in her wardrobe. As for her sun-kissed hours between yachts, pools and the twinkling sea, the super idol has brought out her trendiest swimwear pieces, from a Chrome Hearts two-piece set to another pair out of Louis Vuitton’s latest collaboration with Yayoi Kusama. By way of cover-ups when she’s staying dry, a snap of her in a Celine crochet piece has been all the rage, bringing to life an effortless capture of the K-pop starlet at her best.
The true joy of her vacation wardrobe however, is how easy it is to emulate them, should you be paying close attention to the details of it all. Between her multitude of sunglasses, an unfailing Carhartt essential and plenty of Celine accessories, see where you can cop some of Lisa’s exact pieces and how to style them like the Blackpink member would, all below.

Oversized shirting
The style cues are easy enough here; when in doubt, throw on an oversized shirt and utilise it to play with your outfit’s proportions. Lisa’s Supreme pinstripe pull here was layered over a full black ensemble—lending her a Parisian chic effortlessness as she enjoys a cafe day out. For the later part of her vacay, a silky rendtion is tied up at the front and thrown over her bikini set for a louche, casual look with some spunky denim.

Seaside living
No summer vacay is complete without a day by the water and Lisa’s most recent captures on Instagram is a picture-perfect showcase that she knows this to be true. Her day in the sun is characterised by a series of slender bikini looks and skin-baring crochet dresses. Not to forget a handy pair of sunnies of course.

Summer night out
Make no mistake of it: Lisa knows how to dial up on the glam when necessary. For an evening out in the streets of Greece, the Blackpink star slips into a mustard Zimmermann number that channels just the right amount of dazzle needed for a fancy dinner or drinks at a bar. She teams it with a limited edition raffia Celine Triomphe bag and matching sandals.

It's all play in the city
Whilst the countryside might call upon more practical silhouettes such as pants and knits, the city’s the perfect place to take the dress code up a notch whilst still keeping an eye out for functionality. Playfulness rings through her city-inclined outfits—from kaleidoscopic midis and translucent Melissa sandals to polka dot dresses and one very dependable Carhartt jacket.
