Lisa's Met Gala Outfit Lacks Rosa Parks Imagery, Artist Confirms

Following widespread online speculation that BLACKPINK star Lisa's 2025 Met Gala Louis Vuitton outfit featured a portrait of civil rights icon Rosa Parks on her underwear, representatives for both artist Henry Taylor and Louis Vuitton have clarified that this is not the case. The faces incorporated into Lisa's ensemble are derived from Taylor's personal circle, including family, friends, and neighbors, not Parks or any other well-known figure from Black cultural history. The portraits are based on Taylor's existing artworks, which were provided to LVMH for Pharrell Williams' debut collection with Louis Vuitton. Both the brand and the artist's representatives emphasized that none of the garments involved depict famous historical figures. Lisa's look, intended to align with the event's theme, sparked significant discussion but was ultimately confirmed to be a personal and artistic expression rather than a reference to notable civil rights leaders.
