Rosa Parks Met Gala Undies
Were Pharrell’s Design Muse!!!
Published
BLACKPINK’s Lisa found herself in hot water for rocking Rosa Parks’ face on her underwear at the Met Gala — but plot twist: the vision actually came from two Black creatives, including none other than Pharrell Williams.
Check out this clip of Pharrell breaking it all the way down — walking folks through how Lisa’s Met Gala look nailed the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme — which was all about paying tribute to dandyism in Black culture.

According to Pharrell — the Met’s co-chair and Louis Vuitton’s creative director — Lisa wasn’t just dressed up, she was wearing a piece of art that was all about honoring Black culture, especially considering how much the world borrows from it.
So yeah, turns out Lisa didn’t just slap on some controversial undies for shock value — Pharrell made it clear there was real thought behind the outfit, which FYI, was embroidered by acclaimed artist Henry Taylor, who is also Black.
Might be time to pump the brakes on dragging Lisa — turns out the whole look was crafted by some of the most respected Black creatives out there, and she was just the canvas bringing their vision to life.
