Photos of BLACKPINK member Lisa getting close with Palestinian model Pia Kadra at the ‘2026 Met Gala’ after-party have been released, stirring overseas fandom.

On the 4th, following the main ‘2026 Met Gala’ event, Lisa attended the after-party in the early hours. In photos taken at the venue, she posed with Kadra, cheek to cheek and shoulder to shoulder. The images spread across social media, drawing a heated response from fans.

Kadra is a Palestinian model and musician, born in Saudi Arabia and raised in Dubai. Having worked as a model for various brands, he is also known as a prominent figure in social circles. In the past, he dated Jordan Woods and Victoria's Secret model Devon Windsor, and he was also rumored to have had a fling with actor Camila Morrone.

Lisa, too, is currently the subject of breakup rumors following earlier dating rumors with Frederic Arnault, CEO of Loro Piana. Since they were spotted together at a restaurant in Paris, France, in July 2023, the two have been seen together multiple times in the United States, Europe, Paeguk, and elsewhere.

However, when Arnault did not attend Lisa's 29th birthday party held in Bali, Indonesia, on March 27, breakup rumors intensified. Some media outlets reported, “A new dating rumor emerged as another man appeared at the birthday party instead of Arnault.” Lisa and Arnault have not issued an official statement regarding their dating rumors since 2023.

At this year's Met Gala, Lisa became the first K-pop artist to be named to the host committee. Co-chairs were Beyonce, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour, and Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Sam Smith, and others also served on the committee.

At the main event, Lisa wore a custom dress by designer Robert Wun paired with a Bulgari 50-carat oval sapphire necklace.
