The Cannes film festival, which starts today, has just announced a surprise addition to its star-studded lineup. BLACKPINK’s Rosé will be joining her fellow member Jennie at the prestigious event, making it the first time that two members of the popular K-pop group attend the festival together.
Jennie was already confirmed to be attending the festival as part of the cast of The Idol, an upcoming American TV show that will air on HBO. The show marks Jennie’s acting debut and features top Hollywood stars like The Weeknd, Lili-Rose Depp, and Troye Sivan. The show has generated a lot of buzz and hype, especially after Jennie and The Weeknd revealed that they will be releasing a collaboration single for the show’s soundtrack. Jennie recently went viral after her stunning appearance at the MET Gala, where she rocked a vintage Chanel look that showcased her elegance and charisma.
Rosé, on the other hand, surprised her fans by confirming her attendance at the Cannes film festival via her Instagram. She posted a letter that she received from her close friend Anthony Vaccarello, who is the creative director at YSL. Rosé is the global brand ambassador for YSL and has been praised for her chic and sophisticated style. In the letter, Vaccarello wrote that he was “so happy” to be with Rosé on Cannes.
Fans are ecstatic to see both Jennie and Rosé at the Cannes film festival, where they are expected to dazzle the world with their beauty and talent. Both singers have emerged as global fashion icons who can often be spotted at the front row of the biggest fashion events in the world. Anticipation for their debut Cannes appearance is high, as they are set to represent not only BLACKPINK but also K-pop and Korea on the international stage.
