Here’s a fun little fact that’s not-so-important but definitely iconic: both Rosé from BLACKPINK and Sir Lewis Hamilton have the “MBE” title attached to their names!
Lewis Hamilton is officially Sir Lewis Hamilton, MBE, having received the title of Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2009 for his services to motorsport. He’s also been knighted for his incredible achievements in Formula 1. Meanwhile, BLACKPINK’s Rosé—full name Roseanne Park—was humorously given the honorary “MBE” title by fans after being spotted with Lewis Hamilton at the 2021 Met Gala. While hers isn’t official, fans affectionately dubbed her Roseanne Park, MBE in a playful nod to their unexpected friendship and her global influence.
The pair became the subject of admiration and memes across social media, especially as two wildly successful, fashion-forward, and boundary-breaking icons from very different worlds—music and motorsport. Whether it’s their Met Gala moment, their effortlessly cool energy, or just the fact that they looked like besties taking over the world, fans can’t get enough.
So yes, Sir Lewis Hamilton, MBE and Roseanne Park, MBE—iconic besties we never knew we needed!
