BLACKPINK’s Jennie has once again become the center of attention with bold makeup and styling.
On February 1, Moncler released promotional materials featuring Jennie through its official social media. In one of the clips, Jennie created a different atmosphere from her usual image, wearing a denim jumpsuit styled with a belt and paired with goggles. The conceptual makeup layered on top left a strong impression and drew attention.
In particular, Jennie showcased a more experimental mood, distinct from the image she typically presents on stage or in photoshoots. The styling and makeup, designed to match the outdoor concept, came together to create a unique visual, according to reactions.
Immediately after its release, various responses poured in online, such as “The vibe changed completely,” “I almost didn’t recognize her,” “A concept only Jennie can pull off,” “Why does she look so cute,” and “It feels unfamiliar but striking.”
At the Moncler Grenoble show, which took place on January 31 in Aspen, United States, Jennie appeared in person with the bold look, surprising netizens.
On one community forum, netizens expressed their surprise at the choice of makeup and outfit, with several questioning the overall look and describing it as "making her look older," "empty," or "not flattering for her body proportions."
Meanwhile, others praised her bold styling, calling her a true "top star," and referred to those leaving negative comments as "envious of Jennie's unique success."
On another forum, netizens were also divided, with several criticizing the look for making her appear too mature for her age or saying her makeup leaned "too heavily toward a Western style." At the same time, many also called her "adorable," commenting on how her pose and overall look remind them of Jennie when she was young.
More reactions include:
"This really startled me"
"They seriously need to change the stylist, starting with those pig glasses, this is so annoying"
"This is the worst makeup ever, the makeup artist should reflect"
"Y'all are just jealous of Jennie's life lol"
"Looks like the stylist went on vacation"
"Maybe for actors it's different, but for idols it feels like body proportions are everything. Makeup can fix the face, but her height is a bit disappointing"
