This is the second straight year that Jennie attended the Met Gala.
Jennie wore a custom Alaïa blue dress designed by Pieter Mulier.
For the dress, Jennie told Emma Chamberlain, “I let them give me ideas in the beginning but we had multiple fittings and meetings you know just talking about the colors and the fabrics, and this is actually one whole fabric. I think it's 13 meters, I want to say but yeah,” according to Vogue.
“I don't think Met day will ever be chill over me but honestly being here last year made me be a bit a little bit more relaxed. But you know still once you start the glam, everything's so chaotic yes and I'm here,” she said.

Stray Kids made their debut at the Met Gala wearing Tommy Hilfiger. They are the global ambassador of the brand.
“We've got our secret disguises inside. It's all covered with the coat and hopefully we'll go up there, unveil everything and hopefully everyone likes it,” said Bang Chan.
He said it was Tommy’s idea to unveil the coat on the red carpet.

“Tommy actually yeah Tommy thought of it and we thought it was a great idea,” he added.
On their styles, Felix said, “I think we all dress up differently but at the same time we match our own colors together and so in a sense we have that point to show the Stray kid's color. That’s what’s really important.”
Bright wore a Burberry by Daniel Lee.
“Bright’s jacket is made entirely out of pleated georgette. The jacket is embroidered with tonal bullion. The wide-legged silk tuxedo trousers have a tonal bullion stripe,” Lee told Vogue.
