Blackpink's Lisa is currently attending the Met Gala 2025 on Monday, but soon she found herself in a major controversy after eagle-eyed netizens noticed that her outfit featured the face of civil rights icon Rosa Parks printed on her panties.
Turning the heads around, the brand ambassador of Louis Vuitton, Lisa, showed up in an embroidered bodysuit that seemingly depicts impactful Black leaders throughout history, including Rosa Parks.
The moment Lisa walked on the red carpet, "Rosa Parks underwear" started trending during the Met Gala on Monday.
Rosa Parks is a significant figure for the Black community, who fought for their rights for years.
Rosa was a prominent American civil rights activist who is known for her refusal to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama, back in 1955.
The simple act of defence sparked the Montgomery bus boycott, which marked the start of the civil rights movement, and the incident led to the dismantling of racial discrimination on public transportation.
Moreover, Park is also referred to as the 'mother of the civil rights movement.'
As soon as Lisa walked on the red carpet, the video went viral, and fans took to X (formerly called Twitter) to express their disappointment.
Some even said showing Rosa Parks's face on a pair of underwear is disrespectful and in poor taste. One said, "Despite saying the n-word multiple times and never apologising, Lisa doesn¡¯t seem to care as she wears underwear with images of ROSA PARKS, a civil rights icon who fought against racial injustice."
While another said, "LISA NEEDS TO FIRE HER WHOLE PR TEAM AT THIS POINT. WHY IS ROSE PARKS ON YOUR PUSS GIRL!!!"
"Lisa of BLACKPINK attended the Met Gala wearing pants emblazoned with the face of Rosa Parks, a highly respected and revered figure in the fight against racial segregation and discrimination in the United States."
"did lisa really think her having rosa parks on her cootermunk was going to absolve her from saying nigga hshssjsjsjk"
"I was wondering why Rosa Parks was trending got scared.... I know Lisa does not have Rosa Parks all over her underwear right now. WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA????? Mind you not only is it highly distasteful how is this on theme?"
After the latest criticism and controversies at the Met Gala 2025, there is no response from her end yet, but this is not the first time the singer has been called out for a derogatory gesture.
One user on X said that despite saying the n-word multiple times and never apologising, Lisa doesn't seem to even care, as she wears underwear with images of Rosa Parks.
Earlier this month, the members of the popular K-pop girl group Blackpink faced a major backlash for using the 'N-word' in their pre-debut videos. During a Discord, a user claiming to be a former YG Entertainment employee leaked sensitive data linked to several South Korean artists under the entertainment agency.?
