BLACKPINK’s Jennie, a prominent figure in the fashion world, made her runway debut at Jacquemus’ 15th anniversary show, “LA CASA,” held at Casa Malaparte on Capri Island, Italy, on June 10.
Designer Simon Porte Jacquemus built anticipation by posting a striking photo of Jennie on social media, just 24 hours before the event. The image showed Jennie draped in a red-orange towel and sunglasses, sparking curiosity among fans and fashion aficionados.
As the show began, attendees were thrilled to see Jennie take to the runway. Clad in a black backless dress by Jacquemus, Jennie radiated confidence and elegance, showcasing her graceful shoulder line. Despite initial nerves, she quickly found her rhythm, embodying the dress with poise and sophistication.
During the event, top model Shin Hyun-ji, a close friend of Jennie, was seen offering her support by holding Jennie’s hand, a moment captured by cameras.
Jennie concluded her successful runway debut with a warm embrace with Simon Porte Jacquemus, celebrating the memorable occasion.
In addition to her runway debut, Jennie is making significant strides in the music industry. She has launched her own agency, Odd Atelier, and is gearing up for her solo album.
Recently, she featured in Zico’s new song “Spot,” which has topped weekly charts both domestically and internationally. In May, Jennie attended the 2024 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, drawing considerable attention from the global fashion community.
The iconic French label celebrated a major milestone on a picturesque Capri rooftop. Jennie Kim of BLACKPINK was seen on the roof of Casa Malaparte in Capri before the “La Casa” Cruise 2025 runway show, June 10, 2024. The event was a significant moment in the fashion world, with Jennie’s participation adding to the buzz.
Summertime often brings thoughts of an Italian vacation, watching celebrities float around the Mediterranean on yachts. But ten days before the official start of summer, K-pop icon Jennie Kim gave us that moment. On Monday, perched atop a rock on the island of Capri, she went from being a rumored guest at Jacquemus’ “La Casa” 2024 Cruise show to actually walking the runway. Yes, you read that right. Jennie closed the whole event in a sleek black gown for her runway debut.
Founder and creative director Simon Porte Jacquemus is known for drawing a celeb-heavy crowd. He began to tease something special with Jennie days before the show. The event celebrated the brand’s 15th anniversary at Casa Malaparte with a beautiful crystal-blue ocean as the backdrop for the new designs. Twenty-four hours before the show, Jacquemus shared an Instagram post of the island and runway with multiple photos and videos of Jennie. When the show began and fans noticed Jennie wasn’t sitting in the front row, people wondered if she would walk. And walk she did. She looked natural, walking in front of celebrities like Dua Lipa, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Aron Piper, and Manu Rios.
After closing out the show in her backless midi, bold blue purse, and zebra-print mules, she had a sweet moment with Jacquemus as he descended the steps and took his final bow. In the past day, we’ve gotten another viral moment from a cruise show and some amazing summer looks from the brand, securing (hopefully) many more modeling gigs for Jennie. If we’re extra lucky, maybe another collaboration between her and the designer will come our way. Our fingers are crossed.
To tide us over in the meantime, you can preorder Jennie’s runway dress and purse from the brand’s site. Below are some of the other celebs who attended the show in Capri.
Dua Lipa, Aron Piper, Tina Kunakey, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Manu Rios, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Ghali, Elodie, and Tony Effe were among the notable attendees, adding to the star-studded event.
