BLACKPINK's Rosé's Hair Evolution, From Debut to Grammys 2026 — See Photos

BLACKPINK's Rosé just made her arrival to the Grammys 2026 red carpet. She wore an elegant black and white gown with a strapless neckline, the perfect silhouette to show off her new hairstyle, a chic curly bob.
She is, of course, platinum blonde. It's her signature look, after all. And in an interview with Vogue, she shared that she wished she was even more blonde in the past.
Indeed, before she became the blondé she is now, Rosé had to commit to it. Over the years, she's progressively gone lighter, save for a few surprise pops of color, allowing her to have her signature blonde shade now. She's kept things fun by opting for different tones like strawberry, lilac, and more.
She's similarly experimented with different styles. Before her ringlet curls, she sported long, straight hair and mermaid waves. Updos are also her forte, as she has looks that seem effortless and cool, which is right in line with her sense of personal style.
Below, we revisit some of Rosé's most iconic hairstyles throughout the years.

June 2020
Like many of us, Rosé underwent a hair transformation during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the “How You Like That” music video, Rosé went for her lightest hair color: a platinum blonde that was almost silver. While promoting on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, her hair seemed to develop a hint of lilac, but we're not quire sure whether that was intentional or perhaps from using purple shampoo to keep brassiness at bay.
