Blackpink's Jennie, queen of bold and fearless fashion: 5 iconic looks that made a statement

Her mantra? Let your clothes do the talking. And, just like her sharp tones, it delivers a hit every time.

It’s not surprising that Blackpink’s Jennie Kim is called an ‘absolute queen’ by Blinks, a name for the band’s fan base. Beyond her sassy retorts, sharp responses, and her unwavering support for her bandmates on and off stage, Jennie makes a powerful statement with her impeccable fashion sense. So on her birthday, we’ve put together a list of her best looks, along with some styling tips and tricks that we can learn from her.

The bold hair colours

The blonde look is still going strong, and fans hope that she isn’t letting go of it anytime soon. If there’s one thing that keeps Jennie’s fans talking, it’s her ever-changing hairstyles. Each comeback or event serves a new look and we aren't complaining. One of her most talked-about transformations was the blonde wolf cut she debuted in the music video for the song Mantra.  The daring, layered cut added a rebellious flair to her look, perfectly complementing the bold theme of the video.

Jennie has also sported long, sleek, platinum-blonde locks, exuding sophistication with a hint of edginess. From tousled waves to perfectly straight hair, she knows how to play with textures to match her mood and outfit. And who can forget her iconic space buns and braided pigtails that gave a playful twist to her otherwise chic aesthetic?

The mini-dress chic

From dazzling red carpets to casual Instagram posts, it’s clear Jennie has a soft spot for mini dresses. Tiana Shey, a Dubai-based stylist and a Blink as she says, adds, "They perfectly flatter her figure while giving her legs that extra length. So, if you want to style your own mini dress, opt for heels paired with socks or leg warmers for a playful vibe. For a bolder statement, try chunky knee-high boots to elevate the look."

Jennie even wore a mini-dress for Met Gala 2023: The white strapless dress from Chanel’s fall/winter 1990 collection was accessorized with black gloves, tights, a choker, a black belt with a white flower on the front, and Chanel Ruban earrings.

Streetwear

Jennie is just as iconic in streetwear as she is in haute couture. One of her best street-style moments featured a graphic crop top, oversized cargo pants, and chunky sneakers, perfectly blending comfort with cool-girl flair. She finished the look with a black bucket hat and layered necklaces for added edge. Another standout streetwear look saw her in a monochrome tracksuit paired with high-top sneakers and a crossbody bag. Jennie’s ability to effortlessly mix casual athleisure pieces with trendy accessories makes her streetwear style highly relatable and easy to emulate.

Shey adds: She also frequently incorporates statement outerwear into her streetwear ensembles. From oversized denim jackets to puffer coats, Jennie knows how to elevate a simple look by adding bold layers. Paired with minimal makeup and natural hair, her street style radiates an effortless, off-duty model vibe.

Berets and bows

A couple of cute bows in your hair? Why not? If you want to channel Jennie’s feminine touch, add a few mini-bows to your braided hair. Or, during the cooler months, you can wear a cosy beret—a Parisian chic staple that fits seamlessly with Jennie’s versatile style.

Iconic looks: Coachella, Paris Fashion Week and Met Gala

At Paris Fashion Week, she wore a chic white tweed two-piece set paired with black heels and a mini quilted bag, giving off classic Chanel vibes with a modern twist. The understated makeup and sleek hair completed the effortlessly sophisticated look. During the electric Coachella performance, she wore a glittery two-piece ensemble. The bold silver top and matching shorts, paired with knee-high boots, captured the festival’s edgy energy while staying true to her chic style.
