As one of the most popular K-Pop girl groups with millions of fans worldwide, BLACKPINK has it all: fame, the spotlight, star auras, and more. Aside from being known for its brilliant music, the group is also known for its unique styles, as each member of the four is an ambassador for famous fashion houses, and they all fit perfectly into the brands’ aesthetics. 

Singer and rapper Jennie Kim has been labeled by fans as “Human Chanel” for years, and with one look at Jennie’s style, it is apparent that she deserves this title. She has been an ambassador for the brand since 2017, and she frequently wears Chanel during events, outings, music videos, magazine shoots and in her private life. Her love for the brand stems from her childhood, and her loyalty to Chanel is unlike any other. Jennie is also an ambassador for Calvin Klein, where she starred in multiple campaigns as the face of the brand.
