ELLE UK is under fire after posting a Saint Laurent show photo on Instagram that appeared to crop out ROSÉ of BLACKPINK ― despite her attending as the house’s global ambassador.
Fans quickly noticed that only ROSÉ was missing from the group shot and flooded the comments demanding answers, with many asking, “Where is ROSÉ?”
The image in question was taken from the front row at Saint Laurent’s Women’s Spring/Summer 2026 show in Paris on Sept. 29 (local time). The original photo featured four high-profile attendees posing together.
Those in the frame were model Hailey Bieber; model-actor Zoë Kravitz, a Saint Laurent ambassador; influencer Debby Han; and ROSÉ. But the version uploaded by ELLE UK cropped the right side of the photo, removing ROSÉ entirely ― even though she was there in an official ambassador capacity and drew significant spotlight at the event.
ROSÉ has served as Saint Laurent’s global ambassador since 2020, becoming so synonymous with the brand that fans often call her “human Saint Laurent.” In January 2025, she also became a global ambassador for YSL Beaute, further solidifying her role within the house.
Given her status, the UK-based fashion title’s edit struck a nerve with fans worldwide, who swarmed the post to call out the perceived snub and ask, “Where’s ROSÉ?”
