Inside Rosé's Bag: A Peek into the Essentials of a Global Icon

In this exclusive feature with Vogue, Rosé offers an intimate look at the contents of her bag, revealing a collection of items that balance the demands of a high-profile touring lifestyle with practical, everyday needs. Despite her self-professed struggle to be a "minimalist," Rosé’s essentials highlight a thoughtful approach to staying prepared, healthy, and comfortable while on the move.

The Organization of Essentials: Pouches and Practicality

Rosé’s strategy for keeping her belongings in check revolves around a series of pouches. She relies on an "everyday pouch" to keep smaller items organized, noting that she tends to "carry around a lot of things." Inside, she stores beauty essentials like "powdered blotting paper," which she deems superior for absorbing oil before photo opportunities. She also carries "pimple patches," joking that they make dealing with breakouts "a bit more fun" due to their cute packaging.

For smaller items like "hair ties" and "safety pins," Rosé utilizes a secondary pouch. The safety pins serve a functional purpose for her wardrobe, noting that she often needs them when she buys pants that are "huge" and require immediate adjustments.

Reading and Travel Must-Haves

As an artist who is "traveling literally every other day," Rosé’s bag is a portable kit for global living. She carries her passport as a permanent fixture and, when it comes to downtime, she turns to reading. She recently picked up Eight Rules of Love by Jay Shetty. While she initially found the title "a bit cheesy," an interview with the author convinced her to give it a go. For Rosé, books are a vital tool to "shut the rest of the world out."

Her eyewear collection is equally strategic. She carries both a simple, everyday pair and a larger, "huge" pair of sunglasses that are "very handy when it's super sunny outside." Because her "eyesight's not the best" and contact lenses often leave her eyes feeling dry during flights, having glasses on hand is essential to ensure she avoids the world looking "blurry."

Health, Wellness, and Culinary Comforts

Touring takes a toll on one's physical well-being, and Rosé is proactive about her health. She keeps a dedicated pouch for "lozenges" containing honey, which she considers the "best ones" for soothing her throat. Her supplement regimen is focused on "vitamin C," as she believes "the more vitamin C you have in your body, the better it is." She humorously admits to finishing bottles of high-strength vitamins within three weeks.

To combat the harsh conditions of air travel, she relies on "humidifying masks," which contain H2O-infused elements to protect her throat from "dry air." Adding a personal touch to her diet, Rosé carries around "budak bokkeumyeon" sauce—a condiment from "extremely spicy ramen noodles"—which she adds to everything she eats to bring a taste of home to her travels.

A Tech Preference: The Case for Wired Earphones

Perhaps the most surprising revelation is Rosé’s preference for "the classic from Apple"—wired earphones. While acknowledging that most people have moved on to AirPods, she admits she is "not very good at charging things." For her, the convenience of a wired connection outweighs the modern trend, as she fears losing individual wireless earbuds. She has even found a "perfect little container" to keep the wires tangle-free, proving that even for a global superstar, the best solutions are often the simplest ones.
