The Met Gala 2026, held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 5, featured Indian model Bhavitha Mandava, who made a striking debut by recreating Kylie Jenner's famous bathroom selfie alongside members of Blackpink—Rosé, Jennie, Jisoo, and Lisa—as well as other stars like Margot Robbie and Ayo Edebiri. The moment was celebrated on social media, with fans calling it ‘iconic’ and likening it to ‘Avengers: Fashion edition.’ Each Blackpink member showcased their unique style, with Lisa in a dramatic white gown by Robert Wun, Jennie in a sophisticated blue Chanel dress, Rosé in a sleek black Saint Laurent gown, and Jisoo in a romantic pink Dior ensemble. The group's recent release of their third mini-album, Deadline, on February 27, 2026, has further fueled excitement, especially with rumors of a new album titled Born To Shine potentially dropping later this year.
