Last week, Blackpink style icon Rosé launched the MV for her second solo song, Gone. Rosé was in her usual bows and cute dresses, perfectly contrasted by touches of denim, lightweight knits and her signature chunky boots. Our faves: her soft lilac gingham dress from Thai label TandT, the rainbow feathered dress by Vietnamese designer Nguyen Cong Tri, and an electric blue David Koma jacket, worn with combat boots by Darker Wavs.

Key outfits include a preppy plaid coat with a pussy-bow blouse and a knit vest layered over a retro-inspired, all-purple outfit featuring a wool tweed skirt by Gucci and an oriental-style dress covered in red flowers by Alice + Olivia.
