Rosé on her Most Iconic Blackpink Tour Outfits, Her First Met Gala, and Baz Luhrmann

Oh my gosh, Rih...

[Rosé gasps]

I have the craziest story!

[upbeat jazzy music]

Hi, Vogue.

This is Rosé, and this is my Life In Looks so far.

Okay.

This was my first fashion week out in New York.

It was the first time I came out here,

and I remember being like so starstruck with the city

and so mesmerized.

I think I had never been to Fashion Week before that.

So it was just, the whole experience was so much fun.

And I was there with Jisoo, which was great,

'cause I was with my other member,

and I remember being really, really excited to be there.

So, this was the first week out of the two weeks

that we performed for Coachella.

That's the first look.

I know people loved the second look,

which is like the sparkly look.

To be honest, this was my personal favorite.

So, I've always wanted to talk about this one.

I remember when we did the fitting, I was like so excited,

'cause it was like, Oh my God, it seems so Coachella.

[Rosé chuckles]

We were surprised that they had even invited us

to perform in the first place.

We've never seen that happen before in history.

And so I was definitely really, really worried.

But seeing that many people dance and sing

and vibe to our song,

and just they looked like they were having the best time...

[Rosé gasps]

I will never be able to forget that moment.

I think the outfit really helped,

because I felt confident in that one.

Should I move on?

This is my first album cover for On The Ground and Gone.

This was the album shoot,

and I had received the creative concept for it

like a few days before.

I remember looking at the album concept,

being really confused as to why...

They said something like, you know,

something that they would like set up for like Blackpink.

Like, a really big production.

Like it was very dark and like strong.

And I was like, It doesn't seem truthful to me.

So I remember I called the photographer

like two nights before, and I was like,

This doesn't seem right

And so it was like panic.

Everyone was like panicking.

I was like, it just has to seem a little more personal.

I remember we like ended up shooting at like this set,

that they had built like a little home,

and I had brought my puppy, Hank,

and then we had this shot, and we felt like it was perfect.

This was during the video shoot

of my first video, On The Ground.

It was so cold this day.

We had to pretend we're like in this big field of flowers.

I had to act like I was enjoying it.

It was so cold.

I have a harness on inside.

They like lifted me up and everything.

It was quite an experience.

I didn't actually get to meet any of the fans

when my music was out back then,

and we got to meet them like way after COVID kind of ended,

and I remember a lot of people like saying these things,

and I was like, Wow!

People like really did like it.

And I felt really, I was like...

Oh my God, I'm so happy people loved it!

This was the first Vogue cover I did for Australia.

It was like a big moment for me,

because I grew up in Australia.

We'd go like grocery shopping,

and there'd always be like the magazine aisle.

And I remember always like looking at the magazine

and I would be like, Wow, these celebrities!

And so just to have myself

be on the cover of Vogue Australia,

that meant a lot to me.

I remember back then like when I had left Australia,

everyone was like, Where are you going?

[Rosé laughs]

And I was like, I didn't know how to explain it,

because maybe nowadays,

if like I'm becoming a trainee in Korea,

they'd be like, Oh my God, you're gonna be in K-pop?

You know, everybody knows what it is, and it's so popular.

But back then it was like, What are you doing?

[Rosé chuckles]

It's fun to see like how big K-pop

has grown ever since then.

'Cause like back then I remember like me and a few friends

who knew about it,

we'd just like listen to it privately,

but we knew nobody would really understand it.

I'm still shocked to this day,

and to see so many other K-pop artists do so well.

And in June 2022, I was invited to be on

the digital cover of Vogue

that was guest edited by Baz Luhrmann.

Baz Luhrmann is a director that I have admired for years.

I remember as a trainee, I loved Moulin Rouge!

I watched that so many times.

Me even dreaming of becoming like a singer and a performer,

that movie had a lot to do with it,

because I just admire like Nicole Kidman

being the spotlight.

The fact that Baz Luhrmann had reached out

to do this editorial, I was like, Yes, please!

I was so excited.

And I was so excited that he was like

a fellow Australian as well.

My first Met.

This was a crazy moment.

I had grown up like seeing people go to the Met,

and it was such like a Hollywood thing.

I'm so glad I went with Anthony and Saint Laurent.

They obviously did such a great job at dressing me.

Have I ever told anyone about...

I don't think I have!

[Rosé gasps]

Rihanna.

[Rosé chuckles]

And ASAP Rocky.

I saw them inside, but it's not I saw them...

These people come, and they ask me, they were like,

Rosie, we need to take some short form

videos and pictures.

And then suddenly somebody comes to me,

and they're like, Um, Rosé, we're so sorry.

Can you just wait like 10 minutes?

Because we need to shoot Rihanna.

And I was like, Yeah, no, of course!

Please, take all the time you need.

And in a second, Rihanna comes in,

she was wearing this big like black robe thingie,

and then ASAP Rocky walks in.

[Rosé chuckles]

And I'm just sitting behind the camera,

watching this all happen.

And I was like, What is happening?

Am I even allowed to be here?'

You know, the security was like, Are you a fan?

I'm like, Who isn't?

[Rosé laughs]

And he was like, Do you want me to try to get her

to like, do you wanna say hi?

And I was like, Not at all.

I was like, Don't you dare.

And then surprisingly, she doesn't go straight to the door,

she comes around the camera, walking past me,

and I don't know, I just like stand up.

I remember, like a queen.

And so, she's like...

[Rosé laughs]

She is queen.

The guy goes, Do you know Blackpink...

Do you know Blackpink Rosé?

And she literally turns around

and grabs both my hands like this.

[Rosé claps]

And I'm like, What is happening?

And she's like, I know you.

You guys are doing so well.

Keep up the good job.

And she gave me like the biggest hug.

I didn't know what to say.

I was just like, Thank you so much.

How crazy is that?

I remember being sad washing my hands.

Next look.

Yay!

One of my favorite moments in New York.

And I think I had just gotten that belt.

I think that was ALAÏA.

And the pants I think is Saint Laurent or...

It was Kate. Oh, it was Kate.

I got the top right, and the bag was Saint Laurent.

And the belt's a Saint Laurent.

I can see the shoes is Adidas.

Back then, it was when I was still shocked.

I was like, Why is there paparazzi?

[Rosé chuckles]

I'm like nobody. [laughs]

I'd love to someday live here for a few weeks.

I would love to try that out.

I think it'd be so much fun if I could ever do that.

So, this was LA. The LA show.

We like the shoelaces on these Dr. Martens.

I think these are Rick Owens collaboration ones.

That top wouldn't stay up.

[Rosé laughs]

And I was like, How about we use like shoelace?

Something that's similar to the shoes,

and then tie it back up.

The tour was long, but it was a lot of fun, for sure.

We'd always make sure that everyone like sits well together,

because we all have such different styles

and wants and needs,

and so, we try to balance it out.

This is headlining Coachella.

Custom Mugler.

It is insane, if I think about it,

that they invited us to headline it.

But also like, Blackpink works so hard,

so I'm like really proud of us.

The hanok that was in our DDU-DU DDU-DU video,

when we were setting up the stage,

we wanted something that stood out,

and something that obviously represented our culture.

It has to be big, it has to be bold,

in the center of the whole thing.

It looked crazy. It looked great.

About to move on.

This was also New York!

We have a lot of New York moments.

For the RIMOWA 125th Anniversary Exhibition.

This was Alex Perry, and the whole thing was brown.

You know what?

I don't know if I could should say that...

I didn't love my hair color.

[Rosé chuckles]

I didn't notice it then, but it was so dark,

and then I noticed it after.

I was like, Why did that become so dark?

I wish my hair was a bit more blonde then.

Eh.

This was when we were invited to Buckingham Palace.

Blackpink was honored with an MBE

for environmental sustainability the day after this,

and so that's why we were invited to the dinner event

the night before.

I remember, we were like...

[Rosé laughs]

We laughed so much in the car.

We were like, This is crazy!

But we were really glad that we had each other,

because it was a cute moment.

I think that's one of my favorite moments of Blackpink.

And I remember saying to the girls,

I wish every event was like this.

I wanna go to every single one of my events with you girls.

'Cause it was funny, it was fun.

We knew how to have fun with it.

But then obviously, we were very honored.

[Rosé chuckles]

I have the funniest backstory to this one as well.

Next time I go to this Vanity Fair Oscar's party,

I am definitely gonna ask, Who is attending?

I had no idea.

I thought I'd do the carpet walk out,

or possibly have my team around me.

Apparently not.

I get to the door, nobody's allowed to go in.

It's just me.

And then they kind of left me in this huge room

full of celebrities.

I do not know anyone here.

And I'm walking towards the crowd, getting social anxiety.

So if this was like the group of people,

I kind of like sat on a couch like right outside of it.

I just prayed and prayed that somebody that like

I knew would walk by.

They didn't.

And it was like five minutes, 10 minutes.

Not even joking.

And so like, I ran and hid behind this plant.

I see like famous people looking at me being like,

Oh, poor girl.

I can see it.

It's like it says poor girl on their face.

I'm like, Please just don't look at...

I'm fine.

[Rosé laughs]

My friend was coming, it was Charlotte Lawrence.

I was like, How long are you gonna take?

She's like, I'm gonna be there in like five to 10 minutes.

She finally gets there, and she helps me around,

but it was the worst 20 minutes of my entire life.

But I survived it.

And then we went to an after party, and it was fun.

That's a fun story too.

So Charlotte and I...

[Rosé laughs]

We're in the bathroom at the after party,

and we're like, Okay, we made it.

We're here live.

I was like, Should I wear these like glasses?

Or should I wear the sunglasses?

Like, tell me what looks better.

So I was like, I'm gonna have to wear the glasses,

otherwise I'm gonna be blind.

And I put 'em on, and I was like, What do you think?

We were like discussing it,

and then somebody walks outta the bathroom,

and she's like, I don't know what you're talking about,

but take it off.

Somebody says this, and we look back,

and it's Jennifer Lawrence.

And then she looks at me and she's like,

Oh my God, take it off, take it off!

Like as in take the shades off and put it...

She's like, Just don't talk to my husband in it.

[Rosé laughs]

Next look.

This is for Blackpink,

the world tour movie premiere in Korea.

And we were all back in Korea

to celebrate our eighth year anniversary,

which is huge for us.

All moments with all four of us, the whole group,

it's always a moment, and it's always the best moments.

'Cause now that I think about it,

the Buckingham Palace was one of my favorite memories.

That was fun.

I like when we get together nowadays,

because I feel like we've grown up,

we have all the experiences built in us,

and then we also have our separate moments

so that when we come together, we're like, we bond.

We bond so much.

And you look back on life, and you're like,

You're my sister.

These three are the only people

who really understand the kind of journey

like I've been through.

And we actually relate.

No one else has the exact same journey.

Yes, we definitely have a group chat.

Oh, we have like a little emoji.

I named it. I named it that.

But it's like this...

You know the emoji with four girls?

It's like a family emoji.

Nowadays, Jisoo like always goes, Who's in Korea?

Da-da-da-da.

Where's everyone in the world?

And everyone chimes in.

She's the unnie, which is the oldest in the group.

She takes care of us, and it's really sweet.

And then like, Lisa says funny things the most.

I'm in charge of reactions.

Oh my God, Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Laughing and...

Yeah.

Our group chat's pretty cute.

[Rosé laughs]

This is the album cover.

I called it Rosie because

my friends and family call me Rosie.

I think everyone else calls me Rosé,

but if you are my friend, it's just like, call me Rosie.

It is an album that kind of describes

me in a bit more detail,

and my personality, and who I am

in my past four years of my life,

and living through my twenties.

And so, I hope everyone, anyone who listened to this album

would feel that much closer to me.

There are 12 songs in the album.

We may do a deluxe.

[Rosé laughs]

I want a video for every single one of them.

I can imagine a video for every one of them, so, I mean,

if you guys are showing like love for a specific song,

then maybe.

3am was one of the first few picks,

and that's always been my favorite.

But then ever since then, so many songs were added.

Call it the end is the most recent one.

So like, for a minute it was call it the end.

And I have this other song for the deluxe,

and that was like my favorite.

I think I played 3am to Lisa once, yeah.

She loved it.

She was like, Rosie, you know I love these kind of songs.

Like Lisa and I have always kinda like, growing up,

we like these like mellow songs as well.

She was like, I want to hear a full album in your voice.

And I was like, Thank you so much.

You're so sweet.

I looked at this group band picture and I was like,

I wonder what it would feel like

if all those band mates were me.

'Cause I feel like that's what I'm doing right now.

I come from a group, so usually like we have,

I take care of this, as that person takes care of that,

and that member, like we're a group.

But then this is just from start to finish, me.

I just thought that just makes so much sense.

It's just like a representation of what this album is.

They're all me, and it's like a whole album about Rosie.

These are the Rosies.

[mellow music] [pen scribbles]

Love, Rosie.

Thank you so much, Vogue, and my number ones.

And this has been my looks, my life.

And this has... [chuckles]

This has been my life.

This has been my life!

[Rosé laughs]

This has been my Life In Looks.

Thank you so much, and until next time, take care.

I've seen the top camera.

[mellow jazzy music]
