Fashion week is a busy time for K-pop stars, as they are often invited as guests to strengthen brand associations, particularly in cases where they have global ambassadorship contracts with luxury brands.

Blackpink's Jennie, a well-known ambassador for Chanel, graced the French luxury fashion house's 2026 spring-summer Ready-to-Wear Collection Show, held at the Grand Palais Ephemere on Sunday.

Clad in a mint-colored two-piece and accessorized with a lemon-yellow shoulder bag that brought a bright pop of color to the look with smoky eye makeup, Jennie took the spotlight by donning Chanel's latest collection, designed by Matthieu Blazy.
