Jennie attended the 20th anniversary Time100 Gala 2026 in New York on 24/4. The event, organized by Time magazine, honors the world's most influential people.

The star wore a velvet column dress, featuring a sheer waist and a bustier top in a surrealist style. The trompe-l’œil (trick of the eye) technique was evident in the ombre fabric, creating a light effect on the bust that gave the garment a 3D dimension. Jennie paired the dress with classic 1920s-inspired waves and large studded earrings.
