Blackpink’s royal rendezvous at Buckingham Palace captivates as K-Pop meets British monarchy, leaving a lasting impression on global pop culture.
Blackpink has truly taken Buckingham Palace by storm with their regally-inspired fashion! During South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s official visit to London, the renowned K-Pop group had the honor of meeting King Charles in an event that has etched itself into recent international pop culture history.
Recalling the days when the Spice Girls shared laughs with Prince Charles in 1997, Blackpink received special praise in the monarch’s address. King Charles not only acknowledged Korean contributions to British culture, such as Squid Games, BTS, and Bong Joon-ho’s films, but also commended the group for their role in environmental awareness.
Each Blackpink member made a statement with their regal fashion choices. Jisoo dazzled in a dress from Dior’s 2024 resort collection, Rosé captivated in a black velvet strapless dress, Jennie opted for a sweet bridal ensemble, and Lisa stood out in an aquamarine dress. The monarch expressed admiration for the band, recognizing their role as ambassadors for COP 26 and advocates for the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The lingering question: What might be King Charles’s favorite Blackpink song? Our bet is on “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du.”
