K-pop star Rosé will perform at LACMA's Art+Film Gala on Nov. 7, as first reported by the Los Angeles Times.
The 15th annual fundraiser will honor Latvian American visual artist Vija Celmins and Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, director of "Arrival" and the "Dune" films. Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio return as co-hosts, with Gucci as the presenting sponsor.
Rosé is no stranger to the gala. The Blackpink member attended as a guest in both 2022 and 2023, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This time she'll be behind the microphone.
Her booking reflects a run of solo milestones. Her collaboration with Bruno Mars, "APT.," was the bestselling global single of 2025 and the first track by a female K-pop artist to crack the Billboard Hot 100's top 10. The song earned three Grammy nominations. Her debut studio album, "Rosie," became the highest-charting album by a Korean female soloist in the U.S., and she has surpassed 10 billion solo streams, Variety reported.
Chow, a LACMA trustee and gala co-chair, said in a statement that Rosé will bring her talent and global profile to the evening.
The gala is LACMA's biggest annual fundraiser. Last year's edition honored artist Mary Corse and filmmaker Ryan Coogler, featured a performance by Doja Cat, drew nearly 600 guests and raised a record $6.5 million for the museum. Proceeds fund LACMA's effort to make film central to its curatorial programming and support exhibitions, acquisitions and educational programs.
Rosé released a new single, "new trick," on Sept. 17. The Nov. 7 gala takes place at LACMA, 5905 Wilshire Blvd.
