When JENNIE walks the Met Gala carpet, the internet always takes notice. But this year, the BLACKPINK star did more than just show up; she made a statement. Ditching gowns dripping in sequins or fantasy couture, JENNIE turned the traditional tuxedo on its head with a reimagined, high-fashion twist.

The look? Tailored, sleek, and undeniably daring. A tuxedo dress that screamed old-school charm with a new-school edge. It was clean, it was confident, and it had just enough attitude to get Twitter/X lighting up like a runway.

JENNIE’s Met Gala Look Goes Viral

It didn’t take long before photos of JENNIE’s tuxedo-inspired outfit started circulating online. While some praised the look as a bold move done right, others were... well, a little confused. Either way, she had people talking, and that’s exactly what a Met Gala look should do.

The dress seemed to hit that sweet spot between theme-appropriate and headline-grabbing. It was giving fashion history, it was giving K-pop royalty, and it was giving meme material all in one red carpet moment.

The reactions? Pure internet gold.

One user couldn’t hold back the love:

“She ate this. This is how you follow a theme omg she ate so bad.”

That’s fashion speak for “she absolutely nailed it.

Another user dropped a one-liner that could double as a T-shirt slogan:

“Allergic to serve.”

It’s short, it’s sharp, and it somehow feels like both a roast and a compliment.

Not everyone was completely sold, though. A more skeptical voice chimed in with:

“It’s giving waitress no shade.”

A review that sounds like it came with a raised eyebrow and a sip of iced coffee.

Meanwhile, someone else went full savage with:

“Why are they letting random people in?”

Ouch. But also, this is the Met Gala. The stakes (and opinions) are sky-high.

Of course, not all was shade. One user delivered the mic drop of the night:

“That’s not a tux, that’s a mic drop in fabric form.”

And honestly? Fair.

There was also this gem floating around:

“Yes mother give us everything.”

A dramatic, very online way of saying, “We love you. Please never stop.”

Whether JENNIE’s tuxedo moment was a serve, a swing, or something in between, it did what all great Met Gala looks should do. It stirred the pot, sparked the memes, and owned the conversation.

Love it, hate it, quote it—the timeline doesn’t lie. JENNIE showed up, suited up, and got the people talking. Mission accomplished.
