Jennie didn’t simply attend the 40th Golden Disc Awards — she owned the night. Held on January 10 at the Taipei Dome in Taiwan, the milestone ceremony became a showcase of her unrivalled influence, as the BLACKPINK star dominated both the red carpet and the stage with effortless authority.
From the moment she arrived, Jennie set the tone. She stepped onto the red carpet in a bold couture look from Maison Margiela’s Spring/Summer 2025 Couture collection, designed by Glen Martens. The fiery red gown featured a sculptural, strapless bodice that highlighted her silhouette, complemented by dramatic draped sleeves that flowed elegantly to the floor. A pleated skirt added fluidity and architectural depth, striking a perfect balance between avant-garde artistry and classic glamour. Unsurprisingly, the look instantly became one of the most talked-about fashion moments of the evening.

While the gown alone commanded attention, it was Jennie’s jewellery that truly set the internet ablaze. She wore a custom diamond and ruby necklace created exclusively for her by Antoine, under the creative direction of Eliana Sbaragli. Handcrafted in the brand’s private Roman atelier, the masterpiece centred on an ultra-rare 60-carat Burmese pigeon blood ruby — one of the most coveted gemstones in the world. Set in 18KT white gold and accented with 27 carats of natural D-colour diamonds, the necklace was reportedly valued at $4 million. Matching 1.5-carat diamond stud earrings completed the breathtaking ensemble.
Jennie kept her beauty look refined and elegant, allowing the couture and jewellery to shine. Softly flushed cheeks, subtly shimmering eyes, and nude lips created a luminous finish, while her sleek, middle-parted updo framed the dramatic neckline perfectly.
Her dominance extended far beyond fashion. On the awards stage, Jennie emerged as one of the night’s biggest winners, taking home four trophies. Most notably, she made history by becoming the first soloist to win the newly introduced Artist of the Year Daesang. She also secured major digital song awards both as a soloist and as a member of BLACKPINK for their hit “Jump,” along with the Global Impact with Prizm Award, underscoring her global reach.
Jennie closed the ceremony with a show-stopping performance of “Filter,” “Damn Right,” and “Like Jennie,” energising the packed Taipei Dome. With her commanding presence and flawless execution, Jennie didn’t just headline the Golden Disc Awards — she defined the night.
