Rosé’s Crystal Details on Her Met Gala Sandals Are a Fitting Complement to Her Art-inspired Bird Brooch

Rosé made a fashion statement on the 2026 Met Gala red carpet in New York City on Monday wearing a Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello look completed with strappy sandals.

The musician looked to be wearing Saint Laurent‘s Liza sandal, a strappy design with a pointed toe and statement-making flared heel. The upper features criss-crossing straps across the toes and skinner straps encircling the ankle. The crystal-embellished footwear accompanied a black strapless dress with a large sparkling bird design affixed to the waist. The dress was inspired by one of Saint Laurent’s oft-used motifs — and referenced a painting by Georges Braque called “The Birds.”

In terms of accessories, Rosé wore a ring, earrings and necklace from Tiffany & Co.

Rosé, the New Zealand-born member of the South Korean girl group Blackpink, made her Met Gala debut in 2021, becoming one of the first female K-pop idols to attend the event. She attended as the guest of Anthony Vaccarello, the Saint Laurent creative director who has been her longtime collaborator. She returned to the carpet in 2025 in a custom Saint Laurent tuxedo alongside her Blackpink bandmates Jennie and Lisa — the first time all three attended the same gala.

The 2026 Met Gala took place on Monday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year’s exhibition, “Costume Art,” celebrated fashion as an art form, with a dress code of “Fashion Is Art.” The event was co-chaired by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour, with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos serving as honorary chairs. The annual benefit raises funds for the Met’s Costume Institute.
