Jennie created a “Chanel look” by wearing a classic black dress fitted with large pearl embellishments and white ribbons, paired with a black hat tied with a white band. Her style was inspired by 1920s fashion, and the outlet described it as resembling the protagonist of Disney’s film “Mary Poppins.” It also listed Jennie’s outfit as one of the “15 unforgettable looks” from the Met Gala event. Known as the “Human Chanel,” Jennie had previously captured attention in 2023 by wearing a simple black and white vintage Chanel-style mini dress.
