From anime cosplays to Dior elegance, explore how Blackpink’s Jisoo shapes contemporary beauty trends across the globe
There’s a reason everyone calls Blackpink’s Jisoo “Miss Korea”—she has the face and demeanor of a classic Korean beauty and she takes pride in Korean culture. Since debuting in 2016, she has established a visual signature grounded in symmetry, delicate features and porcelain skin. Her approach to beauty balances traditional restraint with the experimental demands of global pop stardom.
As a performer and a house ambassador for Dior, she moves between dewy minimalism and high-fashion drama without losing her core aesthetic identity. Her choices set trends across Asia and western markets alike, proving that an understated base can support everything from period elegance to vibrant pop-culture references. The singer maintains an adaptable visual range, treating makeup and hair as technical extensions of her public roles.

Jisoo as Lucy from ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’
For Halloween, Jisoo traded her signature polished minimalism for a cyberpunk transformation as Lucy from the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. The visual centred on Lucy’s blunt, asymmetric bob dyed in multi-tonal pastel hues of lilac, silver and neon pink. Her makeup echoed the gritty anime aesthetic with a stark, powdered porcelain base, sharp winged black liquid eyeliner, subtle lower-lash shading and a muted berry-tinted lip that matched the character’s moody, rebellious demeanor.

Jisoo at the Met Gala 2026 in Dior
Making her Met Gala debut in custom Dior Couture, Jisoo opted for an understated, classic red-carpet beauty approach. Her makeup featured luminous, glass-like skin paired with a soft rose-nude monochromatic palette across the cheeks and lips. Her eyes were framed by diffused taupe eyeshadow and feathery, natural lashes,while her hair was styled in an effortless, sleek updo that allowed her Dior ensemble and high jewellery to take centre stage.
Jisoo for Cartier
In her campaigns as a global ambassador for Cartier’s Panthère line, Jisoo’s beauty styling leans into feline sophistication and structured glamour. Her beauty direction prioritises clean, graphic contours: defined, elongated eyeliner with subtle smoke along the outer corners, sculpted brows and a velvety semi-matte lip in classic crimson or neutral rosewood. Her hair is typically styled in its natural texture to contrast the fine jewellery pieces.
Jisoo on the ‘Earthquake’ Poster
Promoting Earthquake, the lead single from her solo project Amortage, Jisoo embraced an edgy, high-voltage pop aesthetic. The teaser visuals showcased a moodier, experimental look: dark, smudged kohl pencil around the lash lines, dewy highlighted cheekbones and a bitten, high-gloss lip. Her hair was styled with textured waves and deliberate wet-look strands, providing an electric, kinetic contrast to her standard television and editorial styling.
Traditional Korean beauty looks for Dior
Bridging Parisian haute couture with classic Korean aesthetics, Jisoo’s Dior Beauty campaigns highlight the principles of traditional Korean beauty standards. The foundation focuses on chok-chok (intensely hydrated,glass-like skin) with undetectable coverage, straight, feathered ash-toned brows and subtle petal-gradient lips created using rosy Dior tints. Styled alongside modern tailoring or subtle heritage-inspired silhouettes, this look highlights soft symmetry and natural grace over heavy contouring.
