BLACKPINK's Lisa dons a James Bond inspired attire for 2025 Oscars red carpet
At the 97th Academy Awards on March 2, 2025, BLACKPINK's Lisa wore a James Bond-inspired tuxedo outfit designed by Mark Gong. It had a fitted black floor-length blazer over a white button-down shirt that flowed into a full skirt.
The Thunder rapper added gold earrings, several rings, and a bright red carnation on her lapel—a subtle reference to Sean Connery's iconic "007" look. She finished her look with a high ponytail.
Aside from her first appearance at the 97th Academy Awards (Oscars), she released her debut solo full-length album, ALTER EGO, on February 28, 2025. The set consists of 15 English tracks including collaborations with Doja Cat, RAYE, Future, TYLA, and more.
Significantly, BLACKPINK's Lisa, Doja Cat, and RAYE's tribute to James Bond also marked another historic moment as Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson from the James Bond franchise were honored during the ceremony.
