It looks like BLACKPINK’s (블랙핑크) Jennie (제니) can now add runway model to her resume! The South Korean star made her stunning runway debut yesterday (10th June) at the JACQUEMUS 2024 F/W “La Casa” fashion show in Italy. The brand ambassador captivated the audience with her elegant presence and confident stride, wearing a flowing black dress that perfectly complemented her neatly tied low bun.
Jennie also embraced the latest fashion trend, effortlessly pulling off the daring “side-boob” look, which added an extra layer of allure to her appearance. The fashion show also featured a particularly heartwarming moment between the idol and model Shin Hyun Ji, one of her closest friends. As the two friends crossed paths on the runway, they briefly reached out to hold each other’s hands, sharing a fleeting but supportive gesture. This spontaneous act of camaraderie was captured by an audience above them, revealing their little smiles and highlighting the strong bond between them.
The two also spent time off the runway stage, as Jennie and Shin Hyun Ji were spotted enjoying leisure time together in Capri after the fashion show. The duo donned matching black sunglasses and black tops, further showcasing their close friendship and coordinated style. Their relaxed and playful outing in Capri added a charming postscript to Jennie’s successful runway debut, making her even more endearing.
As for Jennie’s runway closing walk, netizens expressed mixed reactions about her performance. While many fans found her walk satisfying, they noted that she appeared slightly nervous. Some critics remarked that Jennie made “Jacquemus look decent,” calling the designer a “fraud.” In her defense, supporters argued that “her walk is better than some famous models debut walk.” This blend of opinions highlights the varied perspectives on Jennie’s entry into the high-fashion runway scene.
Despite the range of opinions about her debut, netizens largely agreed that Jennie’s walk outshone those of many other celebrities. Fans and netizens alike were thrilled and relieved that the idol completed her walk gracefully and without any mishaps. Will Jennie be entering a new era in her career, potentially establishing herself as a prominent figure in the modelling world?
