Well, how do you do, fellow blinks? It is a glorious day for me, personally, because I get to think of superstar K-pop girl group BLACKPINK all day and actually get paid for it. (Love my job.) What do I mean, exactly? I mean, I have the honor of outlining exactly how to dupe BLACKPINK’s style so that you (and I, and us all) can cosplay as the fifth member of the mega-hot quartet. First, I’d like to thank my employer, Cosmo, for this wondrous opportunity and also my moms, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa for simply existing.
Maybe you’re doing some early research for Halloween costume ideas, or maybe you’re just a die-hard fan who’s looking to build a full BLACKPINK wardrobe. Whatever your mission is, you’ve come to the right place. Here, you’ll find six different ways to recreate some of the band’s most recent iconic lewks. (Emphasis on recreate, because, unforch for us mere mortal stans, it looks like most of their music video and performance ‘fits are cu$tom. Happy for them, but not for my wallet.) So, go ahead! Scroll through for how to dress like BLACKPINK.
In a historic moment for K-pop, BLACKPINK performed at the 2019 Coachella music festival, and boy, did they serve some looks. The lace! The bling! The matching combat boots!!!! Recreate this holy image by sticking to a black and white color palette and laying on that silver hardware thick.
Ah, yes, the TRUE summer anthem. “Ice Cream” came barreling into this world like a cosmic gift from the divine. Not only is the song deliciously catchy, but the music video is also equally as addictive with all those cute-ass costumes and supersaturated sets (also, hi, Selena Gomez). To get the look, go for a matching two-piece of summer knits—preferably crochet, and preferably with some floral appliqué. Here, I’ve outlined two different ways to do it. (And just so you know: Yes, that is the same hair bow in both outfits. You absolutely need one for this look, because *Obama voice* it is law.)

While promoting their hit single “Lovesick Girls”, BLACKPINK gave us grunge, heartache, and, of course, fashun. Copy this sad girl aesthetic by pairing a band tee with a tartan mini and some funky tights. Oh, and a cool chain belt for some extra badassery.

During the pandemic, the girls helped ease some quarantini woes by presenting a full-on virtual concert that we got to watch from the comfort of our own couches. Bless them. The number of costume changes was stratospheric, and we are grateful for Every! Single! One! If you wanna recreate this ~aprés ski~ portion of the show, just grab ye some white shorts, snow boots, and a cropped puffer jacket. Then, viola! Snow queen.

Maximalism is the name of the game when it comes to duping BLACKPINK’s “How You Like That” look. Crazy denim styled with even crazier prints and loads of chunky jewelry should be your M.O.
