Rosé Shines Bright in Solo Vogue Korea Debut

Rosé Shines Bright in Solo Vogue Korea Debut

In her solo Vogue Korea debut, Rosé channels “Mega Stardom” with thigh-high boots and off-shoulder plaid—Saint Laurent’s punk romanticism meets K-pop royalty.

Rosé doesn’t just wear fashion—she weaponizes it. On the August 2025 cover of Vogue Korea, the BLACKPINK vocalist makes her first solo appearance for the magazine, and the styling is pure Vaccarello: bold, sculptural, and unapologetically glam.

The cover features Rosé in a red-and-black plaid off-the-shoulder jacket from Saint Laurent’s Fall/Winter collection. The silhouette is sharp, the neckline rebellious, and the attitude unmistakable. Paired with black thigh-high boots, the look evokes a kind of punk romanticism—Vivienne Westwood by way of Paris runway polish. Her long, wavy blonde hair cascades over one shoulder, softening the angularity of the outfit. The makeup is minimal but precise: matte skin, a muted lip, and a smoky eye that anchors the gaze. Against a plain grey backdrop, the styling pops—no distractions, just Rosé and the clothes.

The cover line reads “MEGA STARDOM,” and it’s not hyperbole. As Saint Laurent’s first global ambassador since 2020, Rosé has become synonymous with the brand’s sleek, moody aesthetic. This shoot, part of a four-cover series for Vogue Korea’s August issue, reinforces that synergy. The editorial arrives amid BLACKPINK’s high-profile comeback, following the release of their digital single “JUMP” and the launch of their DEADLINE world tour. Rosé’s solo duet with Bruno Mars, “APT.,” debuted live in Los Angeles just days before this issue dropped, further cementing her global pop-cultural footprint.
