Fashion Fiasco: Elle UK Snubs Blackpink's Rosé at Paris Fashion Week

SCANDAL ROCKS PARIS FASHION WEEK: BLACKPINK'S ROSE LEFT OUT OF ELLE UK PHOTO

In a shocking display of snobbery, fashion magazine Elle UK has sparked outrage after "brutally cropping" Blackpink star Rosé from an official photo at the Saint Laurent Women's 2026 S/S Collection show during Paris Fashion Week.

The New Zealand-born pop sensation, 28, was spotted posing with model Hailey Bieber, actress Zoë Kravitz, and singer Charli XCX. However, when Elle UK shared a series of images on their Instagram page, they conveniently left Rosé out - even though she stood proudly on the far right in the original shot.

Fans were quick to call out the publication for their blatant disrespect, taking to the comments section to express their outrage and disappointment. "I'm not a fan of Blackpink but I respect Rosé's artistry and being a brand ambassador with 84M+ followers," one commenter pointed out. "She actually has more [followers] than all those girlies combined. This is deliberate cropping. They just don't like her, I guess."

The controversy comes after rumors surfaced that there were tensions between the K-pop star and the other women in attendance. Videos of an awkward interaction between the group, which included a cringeworthy moment where Charli XCX turned her back on Rosé to chat with Hailey Bieber and Zoë Kravitz, sparked speculation about a possible feud.

Charli's Instagram post after the show only added fuel to the fire, as fans pointed out that she had "purposely posted" a photo showcasing herself, Hailey, and Zoë in front of Rosé - who was shrouded in darkness. While some defended Charli as simply having bad lighting, others called her actions "psychopathic behavior caused by jealousy."

The drama reached new heights when Elle UK attempted to salvage their reputation by uploading separate photos of Rosé solo, but it only seemed to make things worse. Fans continued to slam the publication for their lack of professionalism and respect towards the pop star.

"Elle UK, please show some respect and apologize to Rosé for the rudeness of cutting her out of the photo," one commenter begged. "As a means of communication between the fashion world and its fans, there's a huge lack of professionalism."

It seems like Elle UK has a lot to answer for, especially considering that Rosé is not only an official global Saint Laurent ambassador but also a brand ambassador for YSL Beauté since January.

Fans are demanding respect for their favorite artist, calling out the publication for treating her with disdain. "She's a Global Ambassador; treat her with the RESPECT she deserves," one fan wrote. "As fans, we demand the utmost RESPECT!"

The question on everyone's mind is: what really happened between Rosé and the other women at Paris Fashion Week? Was it just an awkward moment or something more sinister?

One thing's for sure - Elle UK needs to take a long, hard look at their treatment of one of the most influential artists in the K-pop scene.
