Lisa (BLACKPINK) caused outrage at Met Gala 2025 for wearing lingerie embroidered with Rosa Parks’ name: Intentionally insulting or misunderstood?
The famous fashion event Met Gala 2025 is becoming the center of controversy worldwide after idol Lisa (BLACKPINK) appeared in a daring outfit with lace lingerie embroidered with Rosa Parks’ name – the symbol of the American civil rights movement. It is worth mentioning that when questioned by reporters, Lisa is said to have made controversial remarks: “Why should I care about civil rights?”
This statement, although not officially verified, quickly spread on social networks at a dizzying speed, sparking a wave of fierce criticism from the public, especially in the US. The online community believes that putting the name Rosa Parks – a brave black woman who fought against racial discrimination – on a piece of lingerie is disrespectful, even considered an insult to the cultural heritage and history of the struggle of black people.
Intentionally shocking or unconscious?
Many opinions say that this is an “intentionally shocking” act to attract attention at the Met Gala – a place famous for its unique and controversial fashion performances. However, many people question whether Lisa fully understands the deep meaning behind the name Rosa Parks, or simply follows the arrangement from the stylist team.
More importantly, if the statement “Why should I care about civil rights?” is true, then the incident has crossed the boundaries of fashion and entered the sensitive territory of politics – society, where every word or action can create a wave of backlash.
Fans Divided
On international forums, Lisa’s fans – especially the BLINK community – are also clearly divided into two factions. One side defends their idol, claiming that she was misunderstood or that her words may have been distorted by the media. The other side believes that Lisa has “crossed the line” and needs to publicly apologize.
Many figures in the art and social circles in the US have also spoken out to express their disappointment. A fashion critic writing on The Cut asserted: “No matter who you are or how famous you are, Rosa Parks should not be turned into an accessory to serve as the backdrop for a fashion show.”
Lisa and her agency have yet to respond
Up to now, both Lisa and her management company have remained silent. However, with increasing pressure from public opinion, many predict that an official response will soon be given. If Lisa did make the alleged statement, she could face a serious boycott in the US market – where she is expanding her solo career.
Conclusion
In a world that is increasingly sensitive to social issues, every action and statement of a celebrity can create a domino effect. Whatever the truth behind this incident, it raises a big question: are global artists forgetting their cultural roles and responsibilities in the process of “intersection” between fame and history?
