At the Primetime Emmy Awards, Lisa of Blackpink floated down the red carpet like she had stepped out of a dream. Whatever the inspiration was, Barbie, Glinda, or pure fairytale magic, it was gorgeous. The moment we saw this, it felt so ethereal.
The K-Pop star of Blackpink fame made her acting debut last year in the hit series “White Lotus” with her role as Mook. In the third season of the hit Emmy-winning HBO series which was filmed in various locations across Thailand, including Koh Samui, Phuket, and Bangkok, Lisa was credited as an actress under her real name Lalisa Manobal, making her Emmys appearance this year one of the interesting ones this season.
Lisa graced the carpet at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles wearing a sculptural pink gown by Lever Couture. The design swirled around her shoulders like spun sugar before flaring into exaggerated hips and cascading into a dramatic train, reviving the theatrical high-low silhouette with a modern twist. The look was dreamy yet daring, perfectly balancing softness and structure.
On her feet, Lisa slipped into sparkling Christian Louboutin Miss Z Strass pumps in Vintage Rose, their pointed toes and 100 mm stiletto heels glimmering with all-over strass. The pale pink hue mirrored her gown while the signature Everlasting Red soles peeked through with every step, adding a sly flash of drama.
Ever the detail queen, Lisa layered on glittering Bvlgari serpent jewelry, a choker, bracelet, and ring, all diamond-encrusted with ruby accents. The snake motif subtly nodded to her role as Mook in The White Lotus Season 3, where serpents are a recurring symbol. It was an unexpected touch that grounded her cotton candy fantasy in something personal and powerful.
Lisa’s ensemble wasn’t just a red carpet look, it was a performance in itself. Ethereal, enchanting, and effortlessly iconic, it was the kind of fashion moment that makes you stop, stare, and believe in a little bit of magic.
