Fashion Spotlight: BLACKPINK Jennie Kim Turns Heads in a Dilara Findikoglu Shield Dress at the 2026 Golden Disc Awards
BLACKPINK Jennie attended the 40th Golden Disc Awards, hosted by actress and model Moon Ga-young and singer Sung Si-kyung, on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at the Taipei Dome in Taipei, Taiwan, to honor the best in South Korean music recorded between early November 2024 and early November 2025.
At the 2026 Golden Disc Awards, Jennie Ruby Jane, where she received the Global Impact Award, captivated the audience from the red carpet in a custom scarlet Maison Margiela gown to the stage, where she further enthralled the crowd by performing tracks from her latest album, “Ruby,” including “Like Jennie,” “Filter,” and “Damn Right,” wearing a striking monochromatic Chrome Hearts ensemble and a distinctive scarlet Dilara Findikoglu Shield velvet satin dress that effortlessly stole the show.
This Dilara Findikoglu Shield dress had a sleeveless lace-up bustier corset top that complemented Jennie’s figure well, oozing elegance while resembling a modern bodysuit. It was finished off with a daring skirt that precisely hugged her thighs and a high-low hemline embellished with several hanging steel safety pins set in two dramatic rows. This design not only offered a unique touch to her outfit but also demonstrated Jennie Kim’s stylish approach to clothing.
To complement the “Shield” minidress, Jennie, the “Mantra” singer and rapper, wore a crimson red Dilara Findikoglu “Theatre of Life” cropped jacket with the same distinctive safety pin accents. This integrated suit illustrates Jennie’s seamless blend of avant-garde fashion and a polished look that is all her own.
The choice of designer is no coincidence; the Dilara Findikoglu creations (Shield dress and Theatre of Life jacket) BLACKPINK Jennie wore to the 2026 Golden Disc Awards were inspired by the brand’s Fall/Winter 2025 ready-to-wear collection, titled “Venus from Chaos” and unveiled on Friday, February 21, 2025, the second day of London Fashion Week at Electrowerkz in the UK. This connection to high fashion speaks volumes about Jennie’s standing within the industry, as she not only wears fashion but also embodies the spirit of contemporary haute couture.
Jennie Kim, a 30-year-old K-pop sensation, completed her costume with a pair of Christian Louboutin scarlet red patent leather pumps. They feature a pointed toe and a delicate 100 mm stiletto heel; these heels were inspired by English supermodel Kate Moss in 2012. The choice of footwear aligned perfectly with her attire, elevating the overall elegance of her look while maintaining her bold and fierce persona.
