LISA of BLACKPINK is making history once again, this time, joining the prestigious Host Committee of the 2026 Met Gala, happening on May 5, 2026 (PH Time).
Announced in December 2025, the K-pop idol is joined by fellow committee members Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Sam Smith, Teyana Taylor, Gwendoline Christie, Elizabeth Debicki, Lena Dunham, Chloe Malle, Lauren Wasser, and A’ja Wilson, among others.
The 2026 Met Gala will see the return of Beyoncé as co-chair, joining co-chairs Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman and tennis superstar Venus Williams. The theme for this year’s event is “Costume Art,” which focuses on fashion as an art form — bridging clothing to the history of art.
The Met Gala has been held annually since 1948 as a haute couture fundraising event organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. Over the years, it has been regarded as the world’s most prestigious and glamorous fashion event.
The BLACKPINK star has started the year already making history. In January, she became the first K-pop artist to present at the Golden Globe Awards — one of the world’s most prestigious film and television awards ceremonies. Additionally, the third season of The White Lotus, wherein she was part of the main cast, was nominated for Best Television Drama Series.
