On November 13, the American magazine Vanity Fair released online its 2025 edition of The Hollywood Issue . Every year, the magazine features images honoring outstanding faces in cinema, featuring many actors who are making waves in Hollywood.
Last year, top actors like Bradley Cooper, Natalie Portman and Pedro Pascal were all in attendance, while rising stars like Lily Gladstone, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Jenna Ortega were also honored for their contributions to film projects.
The 2025 version is no less attractive with the likes of Zendaya, Glen Powell, Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman and Dev Patel. However, many Kpop fans were surprised when Lisa (BlackPink) appeared.
Viewers believe that Lisa’s appearance in the magazine is related to her upcoming debut role in The White Lotus .
Previously, when the first images of The White Lotus aired, many viewers were not impressed with Lisa’s image as a hotel employee.
As an influential artist of BlackPink in the Asian market, Lisa is still a “rookie” when it comes to acting. Comments say that the photoshoot is full of top actors, and Lisa’s appearance seems out of place.
Lisa wears a see-through white dress in Vanity Fair magazine with Hollywood stars.
“How can she be on that list when her acting career is zero?”, “If she hasn’t even debuted as an actress, it seems too much for her to be on that list”… comments said.
Many others have bluntly accused Lisa of getting the role because of her relationship with her boyfriend, Frédéric Arnault.
“Is it because her boyfriend has a lot of influence?”, “Her boyfriend’s relationship must be very strong”, “I admit that Lisa is good at being an idol, but the truth is that she couldn’t be there without her boyfriend’s support”…
Fans of the female singer believe that the audience should be objective and give Lisa a chance for the public to judge. “We have never even seen Lisa act, so how can we judge her? At least there should be a project for people to judge”, “With Lisa’s status as a global star when she entered the acting career, she will continue to receive attention from major media outlets”…
