BLACKPINK’s Rosé became the center of global discussion after ELLE UK posted — and then deleted — an image from Paris Fashion Week that appeared to exclude her from a group photo. The incident quickly drew accusations of racial bias and sparked heated debate online.
🔥 The Controversy Over ELLE UK’s Post
The controversy began when ELLE UK uploaded photos featuring attendees of a luxury fashion brand’s event in Paris. The image included celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, and Charli XCX — but Rosé was noticeably cropped out of the shot, despite having attended the same event.
🗣️ ELLE UK’s Official Apology
On October 2 (local time), ELLE UK released an apology on its official social media channels, stating: “In our post about Paris Fashion Week, BLACKPINK’s Rosé was excluded from a group photo due to image size adjustments. There was no intention to cause offense.”
The magazine added: “The post has been removed, and we will do our best to ensure our future content accurately represents the diversity of our readership.”
📸 What Happened at Paris Fashion Week
Rosé attended the event alongside other global celebrities as an ambassador for a luxury brand. While her appearance was highly praised in the media, her exclusion from the group photo by a major fashion publication led to widespread backlash and discussions about racial sensitivity in media representation.
💬 Public and Fan Reactions
Fans and netizens voiced frustration over the oversight, calling it “disrespectful and careless”. Many emphasized that Rosé, as a global artist representing both Korea and the K-pop industry, deserves equal treatment and visibility in international fashion spaces.
🌍 Broader Discussion on Representation
The incident reignited debates about Asian representation in Western media and inclusivity within global fashion circles. Fans praised ELLE UK’s swift apology but called for concrete actions to ensure fairer representation moving forward.
