Jennie Stuns at Paris Fashion Week, But Margaret Qualley’s Hair Comment Sparks Controversy!

On October 1st, Jennie, a member of BLACKPINK and the global ambassador for Chanel, attended Paris Fashion Week in France. Jennie, known for her bold style choices, caught the attention of many at the event with her new blonde hair, marking a significant transformation for the K-pop star.

Jennie’s Warm Reception at Fashion Week

At the event, Jennie was warmly welcomed by global celebrities and fashion icons, further cementing her influence in the fashion world. Her new blonde hairstyle became a focal point of attention, as she greeted many notable figures before and after the event.

However, an interaction with American actress Margaret Qualley during the event has sparked controversy online, leading to discussions about cultural sensitivity and racism.

Controversy with Margaret Qualley

A video circulating on social media shows Jennie interacting with Margaret Qualley, an actress born in 1994. After warmly hugging Jennie, Qualley touched Jennie’s blonde hair and asked, "Is your hair real?" Jennie politely responded that it wasn’t, to which Qualley replied, "It looks real."

This exchange has led to widespread criticism from international fans, who have labeled Margaret Qualley’s behavior as racially insensitive. Many argue that asking an Asian person about their blonde hair, which is less common in East Asia, can be seen as a form of racial discrimination.

Despite the growing backlash, Margaret Qualley has yet to respond to the controversy or offer any explanation or apology regarding her comments.

Jennie’s Upcoming Solo Comeback

Amid the controversy, Jennie is preparing for her solo comeback. On October 11th, she will release her new digital single, Mantra. Fans are eagerly awaiting the release, anticipating another hit from the BLACKPINK star.

Jennie has already achieved significant milestones as a solo artist. She became the first Korean female soloist to receive Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for her collaboration song One of the Girls with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, released last year.

BLACKPINK’s Future Plans

According to YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK has plans to make a full group comeback in 2025. Additionally, the group is set to embark on a world tour, further exciting fans around the globe.

Jennie’s appearance at Paris Fashion Week has brought her back into the spotlight, both for her bold fashion choices and the controversy surrounding her interaction with Margaret Qualley.
