Rosé directly took a selfie to "unbox" the new color. Her long blond hair hangs down naturally. She wears a fitted blue short-sleeved polo shirt with a brown striped tie. The short cut reveals her waistline. The lower body is paired with a blue-green plaid skirt, giving the college-style item a retro feel.
