Rosé and CL set the tone at the Met Gala
As it is known, the Met Gala is a charity event that takes place year after year to raise money for fashion, organized for the Dress Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Celebrities attend this event and for the first time it was Rosé and CL who set the tone at this year's Met Gala.
Both singers and dancers representing the K-pop genre attended the event with some impressive outfits that still give something to talk about. Learn more about the event and about the participation of these superstars in the following article.
The Met Gala
The Met Gala is a parade that marks the beginning of the runways for the Institute and the funds obtained are integrated into the Institute as part of its budget. The event is coordinated by Anna Wintour and has exclusive coverage in Vogue magazine.
These galas are only attended by celebrities, businessmen, tycoons, royals and important people who decide to collaborate and who can also be dressed according to the chosen theme that varies with each gala.
Those themes have been very varied. From the Figurine: Fashion Plate in 1971, through the Manchu Dragon in 1980, the Napoleon era in 1990, the Rock Stiker in 2000, the American woman in 2010 to About Time: Fashion and Duration in 2020.
For 2021 the selected theme was North American Fashion. In the aforementioned event, the representatives of K-pop dazzled with their outfits, hairstyles and accessories, one more sober than the other but both dazzling in all their behavior.

For their part, artist like Kim Kardashian set a trend by wearing one of the most striking outfits of the night, wearing a totally black suit that matched her hair. The couple of Shaw Méndez and Camila Cabello also when stirred with their contrasting combination.
Jénifer López also attended the gala, wearing a wonderful brown dress with a train, with a marked neckline that allowed a large part of her breasts to be seen widely and her slender legs show off. In addition, she wore a black feather shawl and a matching hat.
Without a doubt, the participation of Billie Eilish this year was one of the ones that attracted the most comments, as she wore an outfit that attracted attention. The irreverent artist who is used to wearing loose and sports suits showed a Marilyn Monroe- style dress with a salmon tail, and with yellow hair.
The artist revealed that this transformation had been radical and although she had always wanted to show it off. Although he had had reservations to do so. However, the result was much better than I expected.
In Justin Bieber's case, he wore a black evening suit, with a white shirt and a black tie. While his wife, Haily Bieber, dazzled everyone with a tight black suit with a very pronounced neckline.
Unfortunately for the two of them, the gala was not as joyful as expected. And it is that during the passage of the couple on the red carpet, the fans of Selena Gómez began to chant her name, which caused a very uncomfortable moment for the couple.
Rosé and CL at the Met Gala
The k-pop genre has had a high receptivity around the world. Groups like Seventeen, BTS, and Blackpink boast some of the most listened to idols who have dedicated themselves to bringing the k-pop genre to the top of popularity worldwide.
These groups have received awards for such hard work in both production and audiovisual composition and the effect they have on their fans.
For this reason it is to be expected to find stars of this genre being part of galas of this type. On this occasion, the Manhattan event featured the participation of the Blackpink member who wore a black dress with a large white side, courtesy of Yves Saint Laurent, who was able to pose with the artist on the catwalk.
Rosé's outfit was accompanied by a beaded choker, black patent heels and she wore her hair in a ponytail, which highlighted her beautiful features. The choice of the color of the dress was auspicious as it totally brought out her pale complexion.
For her part, rapper CL has decided to honor her North American roots with a large open dress with jeans fabric in which her underwear was easily appreciated. This outfit accompanied him with a hairstyle that marked his face, in a style that is typical of Asian culture.
Interactions at the gala
While stars Rosé and CL set the tone at the Met Gala, they weren't the only artists to participate. Both multifaceted artists marched alongside others of the caliber of Rihanna, Gigi Hadid, Olivia Rodrigo and many more.
As an anecdote, a journalist managed to capture the moment when Rosé met her greatest idol, Rihanna. Who wore a large voluptuous black tie, with a kind of hat that covered her head, a type of booties and a necklace of fine gemstones.
Rosé's meeting with Rihanna was something very moving, as expressed by the journalist through his Twitter account where he posted the photos, a couple of days later.
First Idols at the event?
Although it is a breakthrough and a deserved honor for this genre and its fans, the participation of these two idols has not been the first at the Met Gala as worthy representatives of the k-pop genre. Since they have been preceded in previous events, such as Lay who attended the 2019 gala, as well as Rain in 2015 and Siwon in 2013.
Probably because the fame of those artists does not reach the levels of this year's guests, as well as not having the number of fans, they are not very remembered. However, they were the forerunners of the current movement, for which they must receive their credit.
The participation of Rosé and CL only makes it clear that the genre has gained more strength so that even new projects can be expected in collaboration with artists from other musical genres. As Balckpink has already done with Dj Snake and BTS with Megan Thee Stallion.
And soon, Ozuna himself has announced that he plans to participate in a song similar to the one that Dj Snake, Megan Thee Stallion and Blackpink would be planning to join their voices to offer a new sound to the world. Few are the details that have so far, but it is expected soon to be able to hear this superbomb.
