BLACKPINK’s Rose is turning heads with her show-stopping style in the “APT.” music video, as she and pop sensation Bruno Mars continue to dominate the charts with their smash hit collaboration.

The October 18 release showcases Rose and Mars in a high-energy performance, set against the backdrop of a vibrant pink studio. Armed with drums, speakers, and guitars, the duo delivers a captivating show that has viewers hooked, even without flashy CGI effects. The video’s popularity is undeniable, having already racked up an impressive 200 million views.

Fashion enthusiasts are buzzing about Rose’s wardrobe choices in the video. Her effortlessly cool leather jacket, a discontinued piece from a luxury brand, comes with a hefty price tag of approximately $4,600. The jacket’s limited availability has only increased its desirability among style-savvy fans.

Completing her edgy ensemble, Rose sports a leather mini skirt valued at around $1,300, while her dazzling gold and black diamond earrings are worth a cool $6,300.

Rose’s unique blend of funk and fashion is sparking a leather jacket renaissance this season. While these jackets have long been a go-to for stars aiming for a sleek, minimalist vibe, Rose infuses the look with her signature quirky charm, inspiring a fresh wave of leather-clad fashion enthusiasts.
