Blink x Lillies stans, listen up because Lisa of the K-Pop supergroup Blackpink has just debuted a brand new hair colour on the 2024 MTV VMAs red carpet. But blink and you might miss it... wink, nudge.
The 27-year-old singer and rapper performed her latest solo hits 'New Woman' and 'Rockstar' during the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards held overnight in New York [September 12]. For such a coveted appearance, Lisa went all out in the fashion and beauty departments but most notably, she debuted a lighter hair colour when taking to the red carpet.
Beneath her hooded corset dress, Lisa's locks are no longer their signature raven black colour but instead, are warm brunette with reddish undertones.
Not convinced? Well, just take a look at the below side-by-side comparison pics. On the left: Lisa in Seoul, South Korea on August 9; On the right: Lisa last night just short of a month later in New York, USA.
Subtle yet stunning and certainly no match for the Blink fandom. Nothing gets past the stans!
As for her outfit, Lisa's long nude gown was a custom Mugler design, complete with a metallic detailed neckline, corseted bodice and flared maxi skirt. The sleeves extended into gloves and the draping around the waist of the dress wrapped around her head like a veiled hood.
Everyone's clicking on...
Later in the evening, for her explosive performance, Lisa changed into a cherry red leather miniskirt and bustier combo with black lace-up details at the sides.
10s, 10s, 10s across the board.
