Jennie of Blackpink sparks trend with diamond-studded 'grillz' at music festival

K-pop star Jennie of the group Blackpink has ignited a new fashion trend after showcasing a unique dental accessory known as 'grillz' during a performance at a recent U.S. music festival. The singer's appearance at 'The Governors Ball Music Festival 2026' in New York, where she performed 17 songs, quickly drew attention online for her striking choice of adornment.

The grillz worn by Jennie featured a custom design with blue roses, crafted by acclaimed American jewelry artist Mark Cruz. This accessory, which involves decorative covers fitted over the teeth, often made from precious metals like gold or silver, has rapidly gained traction as a bold fashion statement following Jennie's high-profile appearance.

Mark Cruz himself acknowledged the collaboration, sharing on his Instagram that he had created new pieces for Jennie's Governors Ball performance. The trendsetting move by Jennie highlights the growing influence of K-pop artists in setting global fashion and beauty standards, with fans and media alike closely watching their style choices.
