How Jennie’s All-Black Trompe-l’Œil Dress Shatters Every Style Rule You Thought You Knew — Here’s Why It Works Perfectly
Black—the eternal classic, the shade of sophistication that never quits. Ever wonder why the French swear by it or why a mastermind like Simon Porte Jacquemus can twist this simple hue into something utterly fresh?

Let’s dive into how black remains not just relevant, but revolutionary. LEARN MORE
2 min readIf you’re looking for sophistication, you can never really go wrong with black. Just ask the French (or a French designer, like Simon Porte Jacquemus). Although an all-black look may have become a standard uniform for many, there are still ways to make one feel fresh, as evidenced by pop superstar Jennie’s latest ensemble.
The Blackpink member stepped out in Seoul, South Korea yesterday afternoon, for a special lunch at the Museum SAN, to celebrate the launch of a new rosé—La Grande Dame 2018—a collaboration between Jacquemus and Veuve Clicquot.
A longtime friend of the house (she made her runway debut at the Jacquemus 15th anniversary show in Capri, Italy in June 2024), it was no surprise to see Jennie supporting the eponymous creative director.
Naturally, she was dressed in head-to-toe Jacquemus for the occasion, in a monochromatic fit that proved black is still in fact the new black.
As the centerpiece of the outfit, the “Mantra” singer wore the house’s Siroco dress, a trompe-l’oeil design that looked like a separate top and skirt, with the blouse put on backwards.

That effect, however, was intentional, with the sheer crepe bodice featuring a collar cutting across the front, while the reverse side was dotted with buttons that were left completely undone for a plunging backless appearance.
The long-sleeve top was stitched to a fitted jersey skirt with gathered folds along the waist and a Godet midi hem. She paired the statement dress with matching accessories, including the small Valérie bag and the high Cubisto slingbacks, both in inky leather.
Jennie is here to remind us that black is anything but boring.
