" maybe i just do n’t wanna see rosa parks on LISA ’s ass cheeks and that ’s my fault "
At the 2025 Met Gala, BLACKPINK member Lisa wore a Louis Vuitton look that consisted of a jacket, tights, and panties.
One detail in particular quickly caught eagle-eyed viewers' attention — what appears to be the face of civil rights activist Rosa Parks on her panties.
It’s worth noting that, per theEconomic Times, back in March, a video was anonymously leaked that seemingly included Lisa and her BLACKPINK bandmates Rosé and Jennie singing songs that featured the n-word in their lyrics. There’s been no official statement yet from the group or their reps regarding the veracity of the video.
Here’s how people are reacting:
Rosa Parks, who set the Montgomery Bus Boycott into motion and was a leader in the Civil Rights Movement, is definitely someone who deserves to be honored, but there’s certainly a more respectful way to go about it.
BuzzFeed has reached out to Lisa’s reps for further comment on whether or not Rosa Parks’s face is actually featured in the outfit. We’ll let you know if we hear back.
UPDATE: In a statement toVulture, a representative for Henry Taylor, the artist who collaborated with Pharrell Williams on Lisa’s Louis Vuitton look, said, “The figure featured in Lisa’s Louis Vuitton look is not Rosa Parks, but one of Henry’s neighbors. The faces seen on this look, as well as on previous LV garments featuring Taylor’s artwork, are all drawn from his personal life — family members, friends, and neighbors. These figures come directly from Henry’s existing artworks, which he provided to LVMH for Pharrell’s debut collection with Louis Vuitton in 2023. None of the individuals depicted in any of the garments are Rosa Parks or other well-known figures from Black cultural history. They are all people from Henry’s own life.”
