Elle UK Criticized for Cropping Rosé From Saint Laurent Group Photo

The magazine posted solo shots of the BLACKPINK singer without a formal apology, leaving backlash unresolved.

Overview

  • An unedited image shared by W Magazine showed Rosé in the original group shot, revealing that Elle UK's version had removed her.
  • The photo was taken at Saint Laurent’s women’s spring–summer 2026 show in Paris, where Rosé sat alongside Charli XCX, Hailey Bieber, and Zoë Kravitz.
  • Comments on Elle UK's Instagram accused the outlet of racism and questioned why Rosé was excluded from its post.
  • Following criticism, Elle UK uploaded individual images of Rosé and praised her look as the most standout, though it has not issued an apology.
  • Posts by Charli XCX and, reportedly, Hailey Bieber that obscured or reused the cropped image intensified scrutiny from fans.
