Rosé Gives Us Two Takes on ’80s-Inspired Fashion at the LACMA Gala

K-pop star Rosé walked the red carpet before taking the stage as the musical guest at the 2026 LACMA Art+Film Gala on Saturday.

Red Carpet

After wearing gold to the CFDA Fashion Awards, Rosé selected one of the few black looks from Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello’s Spring 2027 collection.

The oversized shoulders and exaggerated bow gave the velvet dress a distinctly ’80s feel, yet it didn’t look dated. With so much character already in the design, including the jewel-encrusted buttons, I’m glad she kept the styling simple.

She completed her look with Tiffany & Co. Bird on a Rock earrings featuring diamonds and sapphires, alongside a matching ring set with diamonds and rubies.

Performance

The ’80s influence continued on stage, as Rosé swapped Saint Laurent’s tailoring for an August Barron Fall 2026 aquamarine-and-cream Singlet Prom dress from the ‘Bedtime Story’ collection, styled with a pink Ball Gown brooch.

It’s a sharp change of direction, but a welcome one, not only for the nostalgic prom feel, but also for the rare chance to see Rosé embracing softer colours.
