The K-pop singer takes her love for Hello Kitty to another level while tapping onto 2000s fashion trends
There are plenty of ways to make a Dior bag truly yours, from getting your initials embroidered on it to embellishing it with your favourite charms. For Blackpink’s Jisoo, customisation took little more than a toy.
En-route to the Dior spring/summer 2023 runway show in Paris, the K-pop singer shared photos of her airport fashion: a Dior knit hoodie, a miniskirt and a white Lady D-Joy bag, accessorised with a Hello Kitty plush keychain.

No, the Sanrio toy wasn’t a sly form of product placement. Jisoo is genuinely a fan of the Japanese cartoon character; she’s been spotted using Hello Kitty phone cases, Hello Kitty masks, and headphones decorated with Hello Kitty stickers. For Blackpink’s Pink Venom comeback, she even flaunted pink nail designs that featured the adorable cat.
This month, Jisoo took her fascination with the feline icon to another level by making a trip to the Universal Studios in Los Angeles. There, the South Korean star embraced all things Hello Kitty, sporting merchandise inspired by the Sanrio character.

Luckily for Jisoo, there isn’t a better time than now to publicly demonstrate your love for Hello Kitty. The kawaii kitty not only embodies the playful, hyper-feminine spirit of 2000s fashion that is now back with a vengeance, but it has since gotten high fashion approval: fashion brands like Balenciaga and Blumarine have unveiled Hello Kitty collaborations in the last couple of years.
Even if you’re not a fan of the famous cat, Jisoo’s choice of accessory imparts an important style lesson that we can all learn from: when it comes to fashion, girls just want to have fun.
