A First Meeting on the Met Steps

Lisa and Robert Wun met for the first time on the Met Gala red carpet Monday night, despite the BLACKPINK star having worn his designs for five years. The global superstar collaborated with the Hong Kong-born couturier on a custom gown that bridges fashion and art by evoking the sculpted body. Wun took his cues directly from this year's theme, 'Costume Art,' and from Lisa's own form. The result is a diaphanous creation that may be her most angelic yet, according to observers.

3D-Scanned Arms and Thai Dance Inspiration

The look's arm motif is reminiscent of Wun's autumn/winter 2025 couture collection, but his team worked closely with Lisa to 3D scan her own arms. These scans were used to create a veiled arrangement that takes inspiration from traditional Thai dance positions. The dress includes model arms and hands, crafted after Lisa's own, that hold up her dramatic veil. Her hair was styled down with a single spit curl artfully draped across her forehead, completing the ethereal ensemble.

Lisa's Host Committee Role and Met Gala History

Lisa is a member of the Met Gala host committee this year, a first for the popstar and actress. She attended the Met Gala in 2025, fresh off the success of The White Lotus season 3 and an epic solo set at Coachella. For that year's red carpet theme, 'Tailored for You,' she wore a party-girl approved suit by Louis Vuitton, complete with sheer logo-emblazoned tights. The blazer featured embroidered portraits by Henry Taylor, who painted Pharrell Williams for Vogue's cover last year.

Red Carpet Remarks and Artistic Intent

Speaking to LaLa Anthony on the red carpet livestream, Lisa said, 'I'm just happy I'm showcasing myself in an art form.' The dress code for the evening was 'Fashion is Art,' honoring the 'Costume Art' theme. With two Met Gala appearances under her belt, her White Lotus premiere looks, and her 2025 awards season run, Lisa has made it clear that her red carpet style is just as fun as her stage outfits and off-duty outfits.

From Coachella to the Met: A Year of Style Evolution

Just recently, Lisa attended Coachella where she showed off both stage and off-duty style. On stage, she wore a sculptural bodysuit with super long platinum blonde hair. While enjoying the festival, she wore a matching cream crochet set with boots. Watching the star take her style from the desert to the picturesque Met Gala steps is a pleasure for her dedicated fans and fashion enthusiasts alike, the livestream host noted.

The Details That Make It Pop

As Lisa has always shown in her fashion, the details are what make it pop. Her 2025 Met Gala look, while undeniably pop star-esque, revealed upon closer look further details that nodded to the evening's theme. The 2026 gown similarly rewards close inspection, with the 3D-scanned arm details and Thai dance references adding layers of meaning. The collaboration marks a significant moment for both Lisa, as a host committee member, and Wun, whose haute couture continues to gain international recognition.
