BLACKPINK's Coachella 2023 Looks: Mugler Bodysuits, Chainmail Numbers, And More
The K-pop girl group turned up the heat with an extensive stage wardrobe.
Making their return to Coachella 2023 and making history as the first Asian headliners of music's biggest festival (they called it "Pinkchella"), BLACKPINK turned up the heat with an extensive stage wardrobe comprising custom looks ranging from feminine to bold.
Besides group and solo performances by Lisa, Jennie, Rosé and Jisoo, the K-pop group's high-octane set featured several outfit changes that not only showcased their versatility, but also turned the spotlight on Asian fashion labels (including Singapore's CHARLES & KEITH) and European designer brands.
Ahead, a closer look at BLACKPINK's impressive stage outfits on the first and second weekends of Coachella 2023.
The girls opened their set in custom Dolce&Gabbana black and pink outfits, each rocking a look that was true to their style. Jennie wore a baby pink mesh corset top with matching shorts that featured crystal piping and a lace train as well as a blinged out mini moto jacket, which she paired with leather combat boots. Lisa channeled her edgy aesthetic in a criss-cross top with sheer shimmery sleeves, black shorts with lace-up ties and fabric attached to the sides. Rosé experimented with layering with a frilly gilet over a lace slip dress, which was cinched with a belt. Jisoo went with a more feminine, rosy vibe with a bustier and shorts covered in pleated pink chiffon.
Jennie performed her single You & Me in a white lace crop top embellished with pearls and tulle miniskirt that came with a floral appliqué, which she accessorised with lace gloves. The couture-inspired outfit is from Korean fashion label Dénicheur.
Wearing a show-stopping red dress by David Koma adorned with chainmail and hand-cut leather flowers, Jisoo bloomed in the romantic aesthetic of her debut solo music video, Flowers. She finished off with matching patent leather gloves and platform heels.
