This was the year that STYLE became intimately involved with all things Blackpink, realised they’re as big a global phenomenon as the Spice Girls, and bought a Celine handbag because Lisa told us to

When Blackpink asked How You Like That with the smash song release in June this year, we all responded with a resounding “We like it very much!”

Yes, this was the year that Blackpink went truly supernova, becoming more loved than ever – and by a larger, more global audience than ever – in no small part thanks to Netflix documentary Light Up The Sky, which also happened to remind us of another strong girl group you might remember: the Spice Girls.

In short, Blackpink crushed it in 2020, making headline after headline and giving us plenty to be thankful for. Here’s our round-up of our top BP stories from the past year.

The more obsessed the world became, the more Blackpink trivia mania ensued. We especially enjoyed discovering what the girls were up to before they were Blackpink. In other words, before they officially became “Jennie, Rosé, Lisa and Jisoo”, had a string of smash hits, and found themselves collaborating with Selena Gomez.

It turns out they spent quite a bit of time starring in other people’s music videos – from G-Dragon’s That XX to Big Bang Taeyang’s Ringa Linga. Here’s everything you need to know about Blackpink before they were famous.

They represented Chanel, Saint Laurent, Celine and Dior as the style queens they are

When the four girls made their grand debut, not only did they catch the world’s attention thanks to their obvious singing and dancing talents – but because of their impeccable sense of style. Sporting mix and match designer outfits that oozed individual style meant it wasn’t long before the French fashion houses came knocking and appointed the girls as ambassadors.

If you’re a true fan, you may already be able to guess who was picked by Chanel, who by Saint Laurent, who by Celine and who by Dior. Find out who became whose ambassador, and why the luxury brands specifically chose Blackpink, here.
