BLACKPINK’s Jennie became the center of global fashion after wearing the same dress previously worn by Hollywood star Kim Kardashian, elevating the look with stunning jewelry worth around $4 million.
On January 10, Jennie appeared on the red carpet of 40th Gold Record Award held in Taipei, Taiwan, immediately attracting attention with its bold and elegant style. The idol wore a custom crimson red dress from Maison Margiela Artisanal, a dramatic silhouette that fashion enthusiasts immediately recognized.
The dress is the same model that Kim Kardashian presented in beige at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles last October. Although the structure and avant-garde tailoring were identical, the two stars provided starkly different interpretations.
Kim Kardashian took full inspiration from the runway concept, completing the look with a hood that completely covered her face, highlighting the experimental and sculptural nature of the design. In contrast, Jennie chose to reveal her face on the red carpet, creating a more seductive and refined aura that highlighted her facial features and stage presence.
Jennie’s style choice has been widely praised for balancing high fashion with classic red carpet elegance, demonstrating her reputation as a global fashion icon and luxury brand muse.
What really set Jennie’s look apart, however, was her choice of jewelry. According to Page Six, Jennie accessorized with stunning jewelry from Antoine, including a custom-made necklace featuring a 60-carat “pigeon’s blood” ruby paired with 27 carats of diamonds. The necklace alone is estimated to be worth $4 million, or approximately KRW 5.8 billion.
The combination of the deep red dress and rare ruby jewelry created a stunningly luxurious visual impact, with many international media describing Jennie’s appearance as “dominant” and “unforgettable”.
Fashion insiders and fans alike noted that while both Jennie and Kim Kardashian wore the same dress, Jennie’s interpretation leaned towards timeless elegance rather than conceptual shockshowcasing his ability to reinterpret high fashion pieces through his own identity.
As a longtime ambassador for major luxury houses and a frequent presence at global fashion events, Jennie continues to cement her position as one of K-pop’s most influential fashion figures, capable of rubbing shoulders with the biggest names in Hollywood and making every look unmistakably her own.
