Pop star Jennie poses for Ray-Ban. Courtesy of Ray-Ban Jennie and Ray-Ban have made it official.
The Blackpink superstar, who has rocked the sunglass line in the past, has joined the family as a global ambassador for both Ray-Ban and Ray-Ban Meta lines. In announcing the new partnership, the brand praised the K-pop star as “a living embodiment of the Ray-Ban DNA, ruled by a restless spirit for expression and innovation.”
She returned the compliment. “I’m really happy to be partnering with Ray-Ban,” Jennie said in a statement. “It felt natural from the beginning. To me, confidence isn’t loud; it comes from feeling comfortable with yourself and expressing who you are in a quiet way. Ray-Ban has that same energy — simple, expressive and easy to live in. I love pieces that stay with you every day and become part of your mood, and this collaboration fits perfectly into that.”

The global campaign finds Jennie wearing a variety of styles, including Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics (available April 14), Ray-Ban Daddy-O (“a staple in Jennie’s rotation”), Ray-Ban Alix, several options from the Ray-Ban Asian Design collection and the Drea. The shoot featured some hints of deep red, which is said to be very intentional and a nod to her stage name, Jennie Ruby Jane.
