Beyoncé and Gaga, Madonna and Britney, Rihanna and Shakira… if there’s one thing the music industry loves, it’s a collaboration between two powerhouse queens. Even better when the collaboration comes from two different musical icons, perhaps different in musical material or performance style, because their friendship brings about an unexpected and creative combination.
Perhaps this is the reason why the online community was extremely excited and cheered when BLACKPINK’s youngest member Lisa announced the song New Woman featuring Spanish star Rosalía. The two publicly shared their friendship through photos taken after the 2023 Coachella music festival when they both performed there. Now that Lisa is enjoying her solo era, it is appropriate that she can “drag” her Spanish superstar friend on the journey to find the perfect “new woman”.

If the single Rockstar celebrates Lisa’s position after years of persistently working with BLACKPINK, New Woman is a graceful song, telling the story of a modern girl’s journey to find her identity in a society with many barriers.
Alongside the powerful prose is the colorful rise of the BLACKPINK star in a series of impressive looks. From hot blonde to curly hair, the MV for New Woman is another testament to Lisa’s chameleon-like abilities.
1. Platinum blonde hair

Even Lisa’s die-hard fans, Lilies, would have a hard time recognizing BLACKPINK’s youngest member in this look! The platinum hair and floating eyeliner give her a look that is very much like a US-UK music superstar. The look is completely different from Lisa’s previous looks when she was still with BLACKPINK, showing the clear transformation of the female idol during her solo days.
2. Glossy Goddess with Pearl Skin trend

It can be said that Lisa’s (BLACKPINK) MV New Woman is a balance between Kpop and US-UK. After the strangely charming platinum hair look is a more purely beautiful Lisa with an Asian aesthetic. She promoted the Pearl Skin makeup trend that is very popular with Korean girls, expressed in the smooth skin like a layer of mirror, sunset cheek color and plump lips. Lisa’s face is youthful, radiant and full of life when compared to the first look.
3. Sparkling bands of color

One of the most memorable scenes in Lisa’s New Woman MV is when BLACKPINK’s youngest member uses a razor to remove glitter from her legs. Glitter is supposed to be a gorgeous layer of makeup, but it turns out that the glitter actually represents society’s criticism of women who are not fair and smooth enough. But Lisa metaphorically suggests that the hair on a woman’s body can be as bright as glitter, giving each person their own halo.
Surely after this MV New Woman , glitter layers will be added to the makeup style of young people.
4. Lilac dreams with purple makeup

The process leading to this look is nothing short of spectacular. Here, Lisa applies purple to her eyelids and cheekbones, while styling her hair into a neat bun. With the main purple makeup tone, along with the black feather design like the villains in European fairy tales from fashion house LSEOUL, Lisa is like a mysterious, magical lilac flower in a mysterious garden. Those looking for Halloween makeup ideas can learn this makeup style from the youngest member of BLACKPINK.
5. Frizzy curly hair

Before New Woman debuted, since her time with BLACKPINK under YG Entertainment, Lisa was already a hair styling chameleon. She constantly experimented with different hair colors and lengths. However, for the most part, the female idol maintained her straight hair. It wasn’t until near the end of her contract that Lisa appeared with rockstar-style curly hair, at an event with the Celine brand. And since she split up and opened her own company, Lisa has appeared more often with curly hair.
It can be seen that since going solo, Lisa has almost broken out of her previous shell that Kpop created. She favors cool, individual hairstyles, from Rockstar to New Women , or at the fashion events she appears at, this randomly curly, messy hair has almost become the new key item she chooses.
6. The “binding” whisper comes from the piercings

Lisa and Rosalía’s intimate moment in New Woman is something fans absolutely love! The two bond over seductive whispers. Rosalía’s lip ring hooks onto Lisa’s earring, symbolizing their bond and the Woman Support Woman message.
In the MV New Woman, if Lisa represents someone who is still struggling to find a way out in a prejudiced society, Rosalía is the one who has found her own way. In this scene, the image of earrings and lip rings connecting together perfectly depicts the meaning of friendship between women. Besides, jewelry is also a feminine and luxurious accessory, showing how the girls express their own style.
