BLACKPINK Jennie Attends Balenciaga Afterparty in Paris

BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently found herself at the center of intrigue when fans spotted her at a designer brand event in Paris, a brand she isn’t officially affiliated with. Known for her status as an ambassador for prestigious brands like Calvin Klein and Chanel, it was a surprising sight for netizens to see Jennie allegedly attending a Balenciaga afterparty in the City of Lights.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie Makes an Appearance At Balenciaga Afterparty

Jennie’s presence in Paris was associated with Fashion Week, where she appeared to be thoroughly enjoying her time. She even attended fellow BLACKPINK member Lisa’s electrifying Crazy Horse performance. On October 2, photos surfaced, leaving BLINKs buzzing with speculation. Though the snapshots were not crystal clear, many keen-eyed fans identified Jennie by her distinctive hairstyle and outfit.

Further confirmation seemed to emerge when BLINKs traced the original source of the photos, which indicated that indeed Jennie had graced the Balenciaga afterparty following the brand’s October 1 show.

The surprise of Jennie’s attendance at the event prompted widespread curiosity, especially given her existing affiliations with various designer labels. However, astute observers began to connect the dots. Notably, Jennie’s circle of friends, including Haze, Fai Khadra (who had a noteworthy model debut), and Rachel Senott, were also present. This led fans to deduce that Jennie was there, not as a brand ambassador, but as a loyal friend and supporter.

While the idea of Jennie collaborating with Balenciaga would undoubtedly excite many, it appears that her motive was simply to stand by her friends. It’s a testament to Jennie’s genuine and steadfast character, where she consistently finds ways to lend her support to those close to her. BLINKs, the dedicated fans of BLACKPINK, continue to admire Jennie not only for her fashion-forward style but also for her unwavering loyalty to her friends in the fashion world.
