Jennie Pairs a Sculptural Schiaparelli Top With Resplendent Statement Earrings

Reported by Harper's Bazaar.

Jennie didn't just attend Thursday's Time100 gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center—she controlled the room. The Blackpink member arrived in a Schiaparelli moment that felt less like a dress and more like wearable architecture: a sculptural corset top in stone with two rounded arches carving out the bust, paired with a sharply tailored velvet pencil skirt. It's the kind of look that announces you're not here to blend in.

The top, pulled directly from Daniel Roseberry's Fall/Winter 2026 ready-to-wear collection, carries that designer's signature burnished finish—a technique that brushes the fabric to create a lustrous, almost metallic gradient. Roseberry leaned into this effect heavily this season, and Jennie's piece is a masterclass in restraint: a skinny black leather belt cinches the waist, while a sheer black panel at the bodice reveals just enough midriff to keep the silhouette from feeling buttoned-up. Black pointy pumps grounded the look, but the real statement came from her jewels. According to Harper's Bazaar, she wore almond-shaped diamond earrings from Swadesh, set with irregular cuts that resembled flagstone—architectural in their own right, matching the geometric precision of her top.

Why This Matters

Jennie's Time100 appearance carries particular weight this year. She made the magazine's list of the 100 most influential people globally, a recognition that speaks to her cultural footprint beyond music. In a tribute, Gracie Abrams wrote that Jennie possesses an "undeniable presence that cuts through all the noise," paired with a disarming softness. That duality—strength wrapped in warmth—is exactly what her styling articulated: a fierce, body-conscious silhouette tempered by elegant restraint. No overstyling, no excess. Just a woman who understands that real power doesn't need to shout.

The outfit works because it trusts its own architecture. The sculptural corset could easily tip into costume, but the austere color palette and minimal accessories keep it fashion-forward instead of theatrical. It's the uniform of someone who's learned that influence isn't about being the loudest—it's about being unforgettable.
