BLACKPINK is one of the most influential K-pop bands right now with millions of fans around the world. It comes as no surprise, then, that the solo MV “Gone” from its member Rosé instantly became a massive hit, racking in 19 million views on YouTube just 2 days after its premiere.
Vietnamese fans are especially delighted, as many have realized that the dress Rosé wore in the MV was actually made by a Vietnamese designer.

During a large part of the MV “Gone”, Rosé is seen wearing a gorgeous high-low dress with a long train decorated with layers of colorful feathers.
The dress is the work of famous Vietnamese designer Nguyễn Công Trí from Cong Tri Design. Previously, the same design was worn by Swedish model Elsa Hosk during New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2020.

This isn’t the first time Rosé has appeared in one of Cong Tri’s dresses either. The K-pop star’s white bodysuit with a gorgeous long cape that she wore in her previous solo MV “On The Ground” also came from the same designer.
