The truth about Lisa's "criticized" sexy outfit at Met Gala

With the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style", Lisa made a bold appearance with a completely see-through black coat made of sparkling lace combined with a black Louis Vuitton Speedy handbag, black heels and a pearl necklace.

Many mixed opinions on social networks said that the choice of the female idol born in 1997 was too sexy, even "eye-catching" within the framework of an iconic fashion event like the Met Gala .

Some viewers even mistook one of the portraits embroidered on the bodysuit as an image of civil rights icon Rosa Parks.

In response to the controversy on social media, Louis Vuitton has just affirmed that this series of portraits does not represent any specific historical figures. Instead, they are people who have special personal meaning to the artist Henry Taylor - a famous American painter (Photo: Getty).

To truly understand the story behind Lisa's standout look at the 2025 Met Gala, one needs to take a closer look at the unique combination of art and fashion.

Lisa's outfit at the 2025 Met Gala was the result of a collaboration between Louis Vuitton, creative director Pharrell Williams and artist Henry Taylor.

Not just a fashion design, the outfit also carries deep artistic and cultural meaning, reflecting the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" of this year's event (Photo: Getty).

Louis Vuitton's iconic motifs are meticulously hand-embroidered along the sleeves, creating a subtle highlight and skillfully hugging Lisa's slim figure. The outfit is a testament to the highest level of craftsmanship, combining traditional art and modern techniques.

The entire design is meticulously crafted from high-quality lace, studded with sparkling sequins, creating a striking light-catching effect on the red carpet. The most valuable and attractive detail is the portraits of women embroidered prominently on the body of the dress.

Sharing in a behind-the-scenes video produced by Vogue , Pharrell Williams said: "This design was made specifically for Lisa and was inspired by this year's Met Gala theme (Photo: Vogue).

All the embroidery on the body of Henry Taylor is the same. The three criteria I aim for when designing are luxury, wearability and high quality.

At Lisa's request, we added lots of sparkle throughout the outfit. Today, she's wearing a work of art."

The portraits of Henry Taylor embroidered on Lisa's bodice were part of a creative design by Pharrell Williams - who was responsible for creating her outfit.

Previously, during Williams' first show at Louis Vuitton, miniature versions of Henry Taylor's portraits were also sewn onto suits and accessories (Photo: X).

Therefore, it is no surprise that this narrative motif appeared on the red carpet of an important event like the Met Gala - where fashion and art intersect.

Henry Taylor was an American painter known for his colorful and powerful portraits, with a particular focus on reflecting the lives of black people in America.

Taylor's work has been exhibited in many famous museums and galleries. Taylor is recognized as one of the most influential contemporary artists today.

In a behind-the-scenes video by Vogue , Lisa expressed her positive feelings when she first saw the design, which was conceived by Pharrell Williams. The Rockstar singer shared that she felt strong and confident when wearing this outfit (Photo: Instagram character).

In addition, the youngest member of Blackpink group also could not hide her admiration for the sophisticated embroidery of artist Henry Taylor, especially the way the handmade details contribute to telling a profound story, bearing a strong personal and artistic mark in the design.
