The outfit worn by world-famous KPOP star Lisa at the Met Gala sparked a huge debate on social media. The 28-year-old Blackpink member and new season cast member of the "White Lotus" series faced criticism due to the embellishments in the underwear area while wearing a lace bodysuit signed by Louis Vuitton on that night.
Social media users reacted by claiming that Lisa's outfit featured an image of American civil rights activist Rosa Parks. However, Louis Vuitton stated that the situation was entirely different:
"The lace patterns on the outfit are inspired by the works of American artist Henry Taylor. These portraits represent individuals who hold significant places in the artist's life."
Henry Taylor had used similar designs in collaboration with Louis Vuitton's men's wear creative director Pharrell Williams during his show in Paris.
Before the misunderstanding was resolved, many users on social media harshly criticized Lisa's outfit:
"Carrying an image of Rosa Parks on her underwear is a disrespect to the legacy of the civil rights movement."
"It is unacceptable for Rosa Parks' face to be placed on top of a Black Style-themed event."
Rosa Parks became one of the symbolic figures of the civil rights movement in the U.S. when she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in Alabama in 1955. This act led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which lasted 381 days and paved the way for the abolition of racist segregation laws.
Lisa was not the only celebrity to draw attention with controversial outfits at the Met Gala. Names like Heidi Klum, Madonna, Suki Waterhouse, and Demi Moore were also criticized for choices that did not align with the theme "Superfine: Exploring Black Style."
The outfits of Nick Jonas and his wife Priyanka Chopra also became the subject of ridicule on social media. Priyanka's black polka-dotted white suit and massive hat were compared by fans to Bette Midler's costume in the 1988 film "Big Business" and the character Cruella de Vil.
