Bulgari names Ningning a global ambassador
Bulgari named aespa's Ningning a brand ambassador on Sept. 21. The first pictures put her in Divas' Dream earrings and a Serpenti watch, months after she wore the house to the Met.

Ningning sat for Bulgari in a black column dress, fan earrings, and a Serpenti watch. On Sept. 21 the Roman house named her a brand ambassador and put the portraits on its worldwide channels.
She is aespa's main vocalist, born Ning Yizhuo in Harbin in 2002. SM Entertainment found her on Let's Sing Kids and brought her to Seoul as a Rookie in 2016. Black Mamba followed in 2020. The group is on the Lemonade tour now.
Gucci made her a global ambassador in April, after two years at Versace. In May she wore a custom black Gucci gown to the Met Gala with Bulgari already on. The new title lets her keep doing that.
Lisa of BLACKPINK has worn Bulgari since 2020, usually next to Celine. We mapped those pairings earlier this year.
Divas' Dream takes its fan shape from the mosaics at the Baths of Caracalla. Serpenti has been the house snake since 1948.
She is wearing both in the first frames. She told the house the Italian craft was what drew her in.
Our take: Lisa made Serpenti look like something you keep on. Ningning can now do the same between tour dates.
