BLACKPINK member Lisa appeared on the red carpet at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards on September 27, local time. Her entrance and overall presentation quickly attracted attention online, making her one of the event’s social media talking points.

The look’s theatrical styling generated strong responses from viewers. Reactions were described as divided, with some people praising the appearance and calling it one of the night’s best looks. Lisa’s dramatic red-carpet presentation helped drive the discussion across social media.

The appearance was covered by ELLE, whose post accompanied the discussion of Lisa’s look.

The available reactions therefore center on the contrast between praise for the styling and broader debate over her appearance at the awards show.
