Lifestyle | Fashion Jennie Kim, who has been a face of Jacquemus since her festive campaign last December, today made her catwalk debut as she walked for the French brand in a runway spectacular in Capri. For label’s 15th anniversary show, the Blackpink singer strutted out in a black, backless dress, sky blue clutch and double kitten heel pumps, as whispers of her appearance inevitably filtered down the front row . The musician – one out of four in the band, which also consists of Jisoo, Rosé and Lisa – also has a solid solo singing career, not to mention made her acting debut as Dyanne in The Idol, HBOs’ controversial five-episode series starring The Weeknd, Lily-Rose Depp and Troye Sivan, last June.
Unfortunately, the 28-year-old faced huge backlash at home in South Korea due to its explicit nature. She will hope her more conservative Jacquemus strut will ruffle less feathers — though commenters online have questioned her walk. Jennie was far from the only A-lister soaking up some sun on the Italian island.
Dua Lipa made her arrival in a turquoise dress with red hair and matching bag, while Rosie Huntington-Whiteley opted for a zebra print skirt and Spanish actor and heartthrob Manu Rios wore a boxy, beige top with cut out sides. Celebrities arrived by private speedboat to the Casa Malaparte show spot; an extraordinary building made famous thanks to its feature in Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 film Le Mépris, and which is set on rocks jutting into the Tyrrhenian Sea..
