BLACKPINK’s Jennie stuns at Chanel’s debut runway under new designer Mathieu Blazy

Jennie, a member of global K-pop sensation BLACKPINK, captivated Paris once again with her appearance at the Chanel 2026 S/S show during Paris Fashion Week, held on October 6 (local time). As an official global ambassador for Chanel, Jennie brought her signature blend of elegance and boldness to the French runway event.

This show marked the official debut of Mathieu Blazy as Chanel’s new creative director—his first since taking the reins in December 2025. Appropriately, Jennie donned a daring lingerie-inspired ensemble designed by Blazy, a departure from the brand’s typically classic aesthetic. Her minimalist yet sensual look accentuated her flawless figure, drawing attention from both the press and fashion insiders.

Leading fashion publications such as Vogue France, Vogue US, ELLE US, and ELLE Japan quickly spotlighted Jennie on their official social media platforms, highlighting her “world-class influence.” This widespread attention comes especially notable as fellow BLACKPINK member Rosé recently faced controversy over an alleged instance of racial insensitivity involving ELLE UK, making Jennie’s warm reception all the more significant.

ELLE Japan notably captured a moment of Jennie warmly greeting Lily-Rose Depp—Hollywood actress and daughter of Johnny Depp—with whom she co-starred in HBO’s The Idol. The two stars were seen reconnecting at the Chanel venue, reaffirming their real-life friendship beyond the screen. Jennie also shared a sweet moment with Japanese actress Nana Komatsu, further showcasing her impressive global circle of influence.

With her striking fashion choice, cross-cultural friendships, and global brand presence, Jennie continues to solidify her place not just as a K-pop idol, but as a style icon on the international stage.
