BLACKPINK's Rosé is receiving racist treatment, and anger is spreading among fans. On September 30, several photos taken at the 'Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2026 Collection' in Paris were posted on the official Instagram of the British fashion magazine 'ELLE UK'. On the same day, Rosé participated in the fashion show as the global ambassador for 'Saint Laurent'. She took a group photo with singer Charlie XCX, model Hailey Bieber, and actress Zoë Kravitz, but 'ELLE UK' published a photo that cropped Rosé out, showing only the other three. In response, fans criticized, asking 'Why was Rosé, the brand ambassador, the only one cut out?' and questioned if it was racism, protesting that 'ELLE UK' intentionally excluded Rosé. Additionally, Charlie XCX also posted a group photo on her Instagram with Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, and Rosé, but in that photo, Rosé was edited to appear in shadow, further expanding the racism debate. Amid ongoing discussions, 'ELLE UK' did not issue an apology or statement but on October 1, posted several photos of Rosé on their official Instagram, explaining her outfit and the event, seemingly trying to resolve the situation.
