BLACKPINK's Rosé made a striking appearance at the 68th Grammy Awards, held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 1, 2026. The K-pop star not only attended the prestigious ceremony but also took to the stage for a memorable performance and earned nominations in three categories.

Rosé's arrival on the red carpet was a moment in itself. Styled by Aeri Yun, she wore a strapless black-and-white gown that featured a simple LBD (little black dress) design with a dramatic half skirt that gathered and draped to the floor. She completed the look with sheer tights, pointy heels, and Tiffany & Co. jewelry. Her hair was styled in a curly, bleach-blonde bob, and her makeup was kept simple.

Adding to her already impressive night, Rosé opened the Grammy Awards with a performance of her global hit, "APT.", joined by Bruno Mars. She sported a white sleeveless top and tie for the performance. The performance was energetic, with Rosé and Mars sharing a playful kiss and swaying to the music. The pair shared a single microphone during the refrain and ended the number with a smiling embrace. Celebrities like Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, and Bad Bunny were seen enjoying the performance.

Beyond her performance, Rosé also made history as the first K-pop soloist to be nominated in two of the Grammy's major categories: Song of the Year and Record of the Year. "APT.", her collaboration with Bruno Mars, received nominations for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

Adding to the K-pop presence at the Grammys, Katseye, a multinational girl group co-produced by Hybe and Geffen Records, also performed. They were nominated for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, sharing the latter category with Rosé. Katseye and Rosé both sported black-and-white looks.

Rosé's presence at the Grammys marks a significant moment for K-pop. Her performance and nominations highlight the increasing global recognition of K-pop artists. This year's Grammy Awards also included a nomination for "Golden," a track from the animated hit KPop Demon Hunters, sung by the fictional group Huntrix, for Song of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and Best Song Written for Visual Media.
