BLACKPINK’s Jennie and ILLIT’s Wonhee have once again become the center of an online debate surrounding their appearances at Chanel events.
This time, fans and netizens are discussing whether Jennie has received noticeably better styling from the luxury fashion house compared with Wonhee.
The discussion began after Wonhee attended Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2027 fashion show in Paris on October 5.
The ILLIT member attracted attention for her elegant appearance and was praised by some for her sophisticated styling.
However, online community posts soon shifted the conversation toward comparisons with Jennie’s previous Chanel looks.
Rather than focusing solely on the two idols themselves, much of the discussion centered on Chanel’s styling choices.
Some netizens felt that Wonhee’s outfit did not complement her and argued that the brand could have selected a more flattering look for her.
The comparison quickly turned into a broader conversation about how the two idols have been styled during their respective Chanel appearances.
Netizens Debate Chanel’s Styling Choices for Jennie and Wonhee
Several online commenters criticized Wonhee’s outfit, with some arguing that the design itself was difficult to pull off regardless of who wore it.
Others questioned why Chanel had selected that particular look when the brand has access to a wide range of designs.
Comments included reactions such as,
“That outfit would look weird on anyone who wears it,” while another questioned,
“There are so many pretty clothes, did they really have to choose that one?”
As comparisons with Jennie spread, some netizens argued that the BLACKPINK star has historically received styling that better highlights her image and relationship with Chanel.
Jennie has long been closely associated with the French fashion house, making her appearances at its events a regular subject of attention.
However, the discussion remains based largely on subjective opinions about fashion and styling rather than any confirmed difference in treatment by Chanel.
Wonhee’s Chanel appearance itself received significant attention, with the young idol attending the Paris fashion show as part of the brand’s high-profile event.
The reaction to her outfit demonstrates how quickly fashion choices involving major K-pop stars can become the focus of online debate.
Jennie and Wonhee’s Chanel Appearances Continue to Invite Comparisons
This is not the first time Jennie and Wonhee have been compared following a Chanel event.
Earlier in 2026, the two idols appeared together at a Chanel-related event, after which online users compared their photos and even scrutinized Jennie’s expression when interacting with Wonhee.
Another round of comparisons emerged when Wonhee’s Chanel appearance was placed alongside NewJeans’ Minji’s previous Chanel debut, with some fans criticizing the practice of comparing young female idols against one another.
The latest discussion similarly highlights the tendency for fashion appearances by popular female idols to become competitive online comparisons.
While some netizens believe Jennie was given more favorable styling, others have defended Wonhee and argued that the criticism should be directed toward the outfit rather than the idol.
Ultimately, there is no confirmed indication that Chanel intentionally provided different levels of treatment to Jennie and Wonhee.
The current controversy stems from online reactions to their respective styling and how fans perceive the brand’s fashion choices.
As both Jennie and Wonhee continue their relationships with major fashion brands, their appearances are likely to remain closely watched by fans and fashion-focused audiences.
