CL, who has attracted attention not only for her music but also for her extraordinary fashion sense since her debut, was also photographed. 

CL reinterpreted the traditional Korean hanbok by combining it with American denim and wore a unique fusion hanbok denim dress by Alexander Wang.

Rosé and CL are the first female K-pop artists to be invited to the Met Gala. Male K-pop stars Rain, PSY, and EXO's Lay have attended in the past.
