Blackpink's Lisa slammed over Met Gala 2025 outfit with civil rights icon's face printed on her underwear

NEW YORK, NEW YORK: BLACKPINK star Lisa’s appearance at the 2025 Met Gala turned heads but not just for the reasons one might expect.

Lisa is facing significant backlash after her 2025 Met Gala outfit sparked outrage for allegedly featuring the face of iconic civil rights activist Rosa Parks printed on her underwear, reports People.

Lisa of BLACKPINK stirs controversy over viral photo showing Rosa Parks on her underwear

Her bold Louis Vuitton outfit, complete with sheer black tights and lace underwear, ignited a wave of controversy after online users speculated that one of the faces embroidered on her ensemble resembled civil rights icon Rosa Parks.

At first glance, the avant-garde lingerie appeared to be a typical haute couture choice. However, zoomed-in images circulated online revealed intricate embroidered faces woven into the fabric, leading to intense scrutiny and backlash from some corners of the internet.

Critics questioned whether placing a symbol of Black resistance on underwear was appropriate, given the event’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

According to Vogue, the faces featured on Lisa’s outfit were crafted by celebrated artist Henry Taylor, known for embedding personal and socially charged imagery into his work. Taylor had previously collaborated with Louis Vuitton for their Men's Spring-Summer 2024 collection, embedding similar portraits onto blazers and bags.

A Louis Vuitton spokesperson clarified that the lace includes “portraits of figures who have been a part of the artist’s life,” without confirming the identities of any specific individuals.

Others pointed, “Idgaf who this Lisa kid is man, Rosa Parks didn’t die for this shit!
