Rosé's tights: from the LACMA gala to the BRITs, her sheer black Saint Laurent looks

Black velvet, a bow the size of a cushion at the waist, a slit to the thigh, and in the slit, sheer black. That is how Rosé arrived at the LACMA Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles on 7 November 2026, before going on stage as the evening's musical guest. The coat and the dress change every season; the leg underneath has told the same story since the BLACKPINK singer became Saint Laurent's global ambassador in 2020, at Anthony Vaccarello's shows and at the BRIT Awards where "APT." won. Here are her tights looks, the newest first and then in order, each with its photo, with what has been credited and what has not.

The latest: the LACMA Art+Film Gala (7 November 2026)

LACMA's yearly fundraiser, presented by Gucci, reached its fifteenth edition this year, and Rosé was its musical guest. On the red carpet she chose, Red Carpet Fashion Awards wrote, "one of the few black looks" from Vaccarello's Saint Laurent spring 2027 collection: a black velvet dress with strong shoulders, jewelled gold-tone buttons, an oversized bow at the waist and "a thigh-high slit", worn with "sheer tights". CelebMafia adds the shoes, "pointed slingback heels", and credits the styling to Andrew Mukamal. The jewellery was Tiffany & Co.: Bird on a Rock earrings with diamonds and sapphires and a matching ring.

The tights are the lightest in this list. In the close-up from the carpet, the skin shows clearly at the ankle and the reinforced toe reads as a darker band across the foot: our reading is around 10 denier. The brand is not credited. What changes from the shows is the shoe: black, not pale, so the leg becomes one dark line from the slit to the pointed toe. It was the formula of the night: Lindsey Vonn wore the same sheer black under a slit, with Gucci sequins, as we wrote in our piece on her LACMA look. For her set, Rosé changed into an August Barron dress with a floor-length tulle skirt that hides the legs.

Why Saint Laurent, and why sheer black

Vaccarello did not invent the sheer black leg, but he made it the house signature. As we explained in our piece on why sheer black tights are back, the New York Times credits him with being dedicated to the cocktail-hour allure of sheer hose and stilettos since he arrived at Saint Laurent in 2016. An ambassador wears the runway, and Rosé wears it more literally than most: in the looks below the tights are not an extra, they are the part of the Saint Laurent silhouette that stays the same while everything above it changes.

It started early. At the spring 2023 show, on 27 September 2022 under the Eiffel Tower, Fashionista described her in head-to-toe black: a long-sleeved mini dress with a V neckline, "sheer tights and pointed platform heels". The photos of that evening that show her legs cannot be embedded, so we start a few months later.

Fall 2023: leather trench and buckle sandals (28 February 2023)

For Vaccarello's fall 2023 show in Paris, Rosé wore a floor-length brown leather trench with two rows of black buttons. Underneath, W wrote, "a black cut-out minidress with a pair of sheer black tights". On her feet, strappy heeled sandals with sparkling buckles from Saint Laurent's spring 2023 collection, worn over the tights.

It is the most Saint Laurent formula of all: from a distance only the coat and a strip of leg show, and the leg is black but not opaque. From the photo we read the tights at around 15 denier: the skin shows through on the shin, the knee darkens. The brand of the tights is not credited.

Spring 2025: fur coat and gold pumps (24 September 2024)

Eighteen months later the coat was fur. At the spring 2025 show on 24 September 2024, Rosé wore, according to Sportskeeda, "a light pink silk top with a lace bustier, a mini-skirt, black tights, and a fur coat" from Saint Laurent's pre-fall 2024 collection, with point-toe heels.

The black here is the lightest of the series. In the photos the tights look smoky rather than black, around 10 to 15 denier by our reading, and the pumps are gold, not black. That is the detail worth copying: a pale shoe under a sheer dark leg keeps the look soft, closer to lingerie than to the office.

Spring 2026: the pale-blue romper (29 September 2025)

A year on, the lingerie idea became the whole outfit. At the spring 2026 show, on 29 September 2025, Rosé wore "a pale-blue romper trimmed in lace, featuring a trailing sash detail that swept the floor", Elle wrote, styled "with black transparent tights, strappy silver sandals, and minimal jewelry". Hailey Bieber, at the same show, wore a similar lingerie look with brown tights, according to Elle.

Black tights under baby blue is the bravest colour contrast in this list, and it works because the tights are very light: from the photos, again around 10 denier, enough to give the leg a shadow without closing it. The silver sandals, like the gold pumps the year before, stop the black from reaching the floor.

The APT. era: the BRIT Awards (28 February 2026)

The biggest night of the "APT." era was in Manchester. At the BRIT Awards 2026, at Co-op Live on 28 February, Rosé was photographed with the International Song award and the International Artist of the Year award, as Getty's captions record. On the carpet she wore, according to Your Next Shoes, "a custom black Saint Laurent one-shoulder gown" with oversized bows at the shoulder and waist, "sheer black tights" and "the $2,350 Saint Laurent 'P.A.R.I.S.' slingback pumps in white smooth leather".

This is the red-carpet version of the formula: a long gown that shows the tights only through a high slit, and a white shoe that makes the black leg read even darker. From the photo we read the tights at about 15 to 20 denier, slightly denser than at the shows. Not credited.

Also worn: Met Gala week in New York (May 2026)

Two more looks have sheer black tights but no photo we can embed, so we only mention them. On Met Gala night, 4 May 2026, photographers caught Rosé at the Carlyle hotel on the Upper East Side in a short strapless black dress with sheer black tights and black pumps. Two days later, on 6 May, she walked through Murray Hill in a black leather Saint Laurent skirt suit over a white T-shirt, worn, W wrote, with "black nylon tights" and pointed patent pumps: the tights moved from the evening to the working day.

The contrast, for balance: at the CFDA Awards on 2 November 2026 she wore Saint Laurent gold with bare legs, as we noted in our CFDA report. The sheer black is a choice, not a uniform.

The tights: what we know and what we don't

No pair in this list has a credited brand. Saint Laurent credits her clothes and shoes; the tights are always simply "sheer black" or "black transparent". The denier we give is our reading of the photos, not a published figure: around 15 for the 2023 show and the BRITs, 10 to 15 for the smoky black of 2024 and 2025, around 10 at the LACMA gala. For what those numbers look like on the leg, see our denier guide.

How to copy Rosé's tights

• Go lighter than you think. At the shows she wears 10 to 15 denier: smoky, with the skin visible. A 40 denier would turn the same outfit into a winter uniform.
• A pale shoe under a dark leg, or black for a gala. Gold pumps, silver sandals, white slingbacks: three of the five looks end in a light shoe, so the black does not reach the floor. At LACMA she went the other way, black to the toe, which makes a long dress look longer.
• Short hem or a high slit. The tights show either under a mini (the trench, the fur coat, the romper) or through a slit (the BRITs, LACMA). Midi lengths without a slit hide them.
• Pastel works. Sheer black under baby blue or pink silk looks deliberate when the tights are very light and everything else is soft.
• One shine at a time. Satin gown, matte tights; matte leather trench, buckles on the shoe. Glossy tights with a satin dress would compete.

The photos

The LACMA gala is shown with LACMA's official Instagram reel (video by Katie Booth) and two Getty Images embeds by Taylor Hill/FilmMagic (at the top and in the text). The four earlier looks are shown with Getty Images' official embeds (Pascal Le Segretain; Marc Piasecki/WireImage; Dominique Charriau; Neil Mockford/FilmMagic). The photos of the spring 2023 show, the Carlyle and Murray Hill are by agencies whose images cannot be embedded, so those looks are only described. The circle on the cover is a photo of Rosé at the Rimowa launch party in Seoul, 15 April 2024, from Wikimedia Commons (TV10, CC BY 3.0). The cover illustration is ours.

Coats, colours and stages change; what Rosé keeps from Saint Laurent is the shadow of a sheer black leg.
