From Pantless to Pant Suit, Is Lisa Trying Too Hard to Be Hollywood’s Next It Girl

AUTHOR

BLACKPINK’s Lisa has officially become a fixture on Hollywood’s most glittering stages. Before the latest Met Gala moment that had netizens debating whether the black crotch design on her pantless Louis Vuitton ensemble was art or offense, she stepped onto the 2025 Oscars red carpet in a strikingly similar look to Anna Wintour’s 2024 Met Gala gown, a daringly tailored Mark Gong pant dress, making her Oscar debut a sartorial statement.

Opting for a floor-length blazer over trousers and a sharp button-up, Lisa’s look was a subtle nod to her recent sartorial experiments – refined but unmistakably rockstar, especially with her voluminous curls and a headband that glinted under the Dolby Theatre lights.

The night is far from over for the BLACKPINK rapper and dancer. In a historic move, Lisa will also take the stage alongside Doja Cat and RAYE, making her the first K-pop artist to perform at the Academy Awards. The trio’s set is shrouded in secrecy, but with such powerhouse names, it’s bound to be one for the books.

This year’s Oscars, hosted by Conan O’Brien, is packed with other high-profile performances, including Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, as well as Queen Latifah. Lisa’s moment, both on the carpet and on stage, is already sending waves across social media – a statement-making display of her ever-expanding dominance in both fashion and music.

The question remains: Is Lisa a true fashion icon, or is she veering into style disaster territory? From her pantless Met Gala look to her Wintour-esque pant dress at the Oscars, the jury’s still out. Is she playing by her own rules, or is she trying too hard to cement herself as a Hollywood fixture? Only time will tell.
