Blackpink Rosé graced the cover of fashion magazine Elle's February issue. This pictorial captured Rosé's most beautiful and captivating moments in front of the camera wearing Saint Laurent's 2026 Summer collection led by creative director Anthony Vaccarello.
After the photo shoot, an interview was conducted. Rosé, who had a diverse year that included her first solo album "rosie", Blackpink's new song release, a world tour and a Grammy Award nomination, said, "I was thankfully able to experience even greater love; it was a year of overwhelming emotions that cannot be defined in a single word. Through all those experiences filled with joy and sadness, celebration and laughter, excitement and challenge, I was able to learn many things."
Regarding being nominated in three categories at the 68th Grammy Awards for the mega hit "APT." with Bruno Mars, she said, "It feels like I'm dreaming. Being nominated among singers I respected since I was young doesn't feel real. I'm grateful that global fans are connected as one through good platforms and living in an era where they can enjoy the same music, and that I can have that experience. I also deeply feel that so many people's efforts are truly contained in the nomination."
Having collaborated with Saint Laurent for a long time, she said, "Fashion is another tool that speaks for your inner self. It changes your mood and attitude, and Saint Laurent plays that role wonderfully in my life. Through the long process of experiencing fabrics and details firsthand every season, my taste has become clearer, and I feel the time we've built together naturally coming through."
This year, once again embarking on her own colorful adventure as an "adventurer," Rosé said, "I don't want to set limits on anything; I want to get closer to what I want freely. I want to find the real me without locking myself in. In 2026, I plan to try to move forward freely, removing fear." She added, "Even when difficult moments come, I want to tell myself to just enjoy and keep going."
