BLACKPINK rapper and CEO of LLOUD, Lisa, walked the pink carpet at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Wednesday, October 16, 2024. The coveted show returned after a six-year hiatus with the theme "nostalgia renaissance," bringing back some of its iconic looks.
Staying true to the theme, the BLACKPINK rapper donned the famous outfit won by supermodel Taylor Hill at the 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for the Celestial Angel theme. The Celestial Angel brassiere was studded with Swarovski diamonds and paired with a sheer bejeweled cape with diamond detailing.
Lisa paired the brassiere and the veil with black shorts to complete her look and added a starry body chain to match. For her opening act, she donned a black wing-shaped bra with a chain-embellished full-sleeved crop top. She completed her look with black boots and a metallic embellished cutout mini-skirt.
The crop top she wore during her ROCKSTAR performance was made out of recyclable cold drink can hooks. She also donned a silver belt with her name "LISA" written on it. A silver star, similar to the one from her ROCKSTAR MV was attached at the center of her wing-shaped bra. Additionally, the word "ALTER EGO" was displayed on the superbike, on which she made the entrance on the stage.
For her Moonlit Floor performance (second act) at the show, Lisa opted for black sheer detailing lingerie with a pair of bronze-with-a-hint-of-gold Victoria's Secret metal wings. The K-pop idol's bold outfit choices matched the show's central theme. All her outfits were from the classic Victoria's Secret collection.

Rolling Stone reported that Lisa led the first-ever all-women performance in the history of Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. For the first segment of the show, she opened with her solo single, ROCKSTAR, making an entry on a superbike.
Leading a group of 18 women of all body sizes and ethnicities, Lisa made a historic statement at the coveted event. She also incorporated a runway catwalk into her choreography, which went viral online for its impeccable synchronization as 18 female dancers matched her to each beat.
For her second act, the BLACKPINK idol performed her latest solo release, Moonlit Floor—a remodified rendition of the 1998 smash hit Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer. Lisa donned the Victoria's Secret bronze metal wings while performing live on the runaway as plus-size supermodel Ashley Graham opened the second segment of the show.
Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (VSFS) returned after six years since its last show in 2018. This year, they broke the modeling industry stereotypes by introducing trans models Alex Consani and Valentina Sampaio.
They brought back their old VS angels like Adriana Lima, Alessandro Ambrosio, and Irina Shayk to walk the runway along with Tyra Banks, who returned after 19 years.
