BLACKPINK’s Jennie brings global glam to the TIME100 Gala with Indian diamonds stealing the spotlight – The Times of India

When Jennie steps onto a global stage, it’s never about the appearance, but it’s a calculated fashion moment. Recently, at the TIME100 Gala in Manhattan, the diva delivered her signature polished minimal glam look, with a stunning black couture piece and a piece of dangling jewellery which shifted the narrative in seconds.She didn’t just accessorise the look but spotlighted a rising force in the global luxury world. She opted for a black full-length dress from the French luxury label Schiaparelli, which featured a corset-style top with a bold cutout neckline with a sculptural feel that ended right above the waistline.

However, along the hip line, one can witness a see-through fabric layer, which highlights her slender waistline and seamlessly connects it to the black velvet skirt.

She also added a thin back belt with a golden buckle, which wonderfully accentuated her ensemble, making everything look simply iconic.She completed the look with shiny black heels and minimal makeup, tying her hair back, which made her look perfect for an evening setting. But what changed the narrative was her dangling diamond earrings, which came from an Indian brand.For the event, Jennie picked the dangling stones from the SWADESH label, which is owned by the Reliance Group.

The elegant gold drop earrings featured an elongated, tapered texture with pavé-set radiant diamond detailing, carved by making the traditional dank polki technique. This beautiful arrangement and intricate hand-setting said all about the legacy of the craftsmanship, where each stone tells a different tale.

Keeping her couture and jewellery on point, she went with a clean girl aesthetic and opted for a luminous makeup base with winged doe-eyes, a hint of blush over the cheeks, and a nude glossy lipstick touch.

She made a sleek ponytail and kept a structured wave at the front, which gave a very 90s Hollywood vintage vibe.In a room filled with international players, this couture statement is a subtle nod to Indian artistry. One that proves influence even in today’s fast-fashion world isn’t always loud, but it should come with the right intention. And, just like that, this piece became a point of conversation, and that too globally.
