Overview

• Rosé attended Saint Laurent’s Women’s 2026 S/S show in Paris as the brand’s global ambassador and appeared in group photos with Hailey Bieber, Charli XCX and Zoë Kravitz.
• ELLE UK’s Instagram posted a zoomed-in group shot that excluded Rosé, then removed it and uploaded solo images praising her look.
• The magazine issued an apology on Instagram saying Rosé was cropped "for size," stated it did not intend to offend, and pledged coverage that reflects its full audience.
• Many online reactions dismissed the apology as too late or insufficient, with critics calling the explanation disrespectful and pointing to perceived racial bias.
• Separate posts by Charli XCX and a reshared image by Hailey Bieber showed Rosé noticeably darkened, which further intensified complaints about how she was portrayed.
