Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (VSFS) returned on October 16, 2024, after a six-year hiatus, with BLACKPINK's Lisa opening the show with her performance on ROCKSTAR. The fashion show returned with the theme of "nostalgia renaissance," bringing back some of its iconic looks from the past with a new flamboyance.

Meanwhile, the BLACKPINK rapper and the CEO of LLOUD made history as the first Asian and Korean female act to open the coveted fashion show.

Making an entrance on a superbike at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show stage, the Thai K-pop idol gave a live performance on her latest solo single, ROCKSTAR.

She used her choreography to create a dynamic runway catwalk that captivated the audience. She led 18 female backing dancers who matched her stride on every beat.

As admirers showered the artist with accolades for her historic performance as the first and only K-pop idol on the VSFS, the moment went viral on the internet.

One of her fans wrote on X,

"Sean adding the walk in the choreo, he knew that everyone has to see the MANOBAL WALK. LISA YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE"

Astute admirers flooded social media, lauding her runway walk, stating that she was "born to do this."

"She really is a total performer... born to do this & the total highlight of the show!!!" a fan wrote.
"LISA ate so bad cause why is her runway walk so much better than some of the models I've seen," another fan said.
"I just know the models were terrified to walk after queen mother," one other fan added.

Others highlighted how "neat" and synchronized the runway walk was with the 18 female background dancers.

"Seriously Lisa killed it. Is there an Emmy for best live music performance bc of so I just found the winner," another fan wrote.
"See how in sync and in coordination the dancers are with lisa and now NEAT it looks? That's why lisa should only bring women dancers from now on." a fan added.
"THIS IS HOW YOU START A SHOW!! This is so WOW! YOU’RE, WITHOUT A DOUBT, A ROCKSTAR #LISA @wearelloud !! YOU ARE SO FIT TO PERFORM HERE BECAUSE YOUR ATTITUDE & CONFIDENCE IS NOT ONLY FOR PERFORMANCE STAGE BUT VERY #VSFashionShow TOO. I’M SO PROUD OF YOU," another fan commented.

BLACKPINK's Lisa became the first Asian act and first K-pop idol to grace the stage of Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

BLACKPINK's Lisa performed Moonlit Floor—another solo single of hers released in October 2024—for the second segment of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024.

She donned a pair of golden wings with black sheer-detailed lingerie as she belted out the symphonic lyrics of Moonlit Floor—a song inspired by the 1998 hit, Kiss Me, by Six Pence None The Richer.

As she took center stage, plus-size models like Ashley Graham opened the second segment of the show. Earlier, for the first segment, Gigi Hadid opened the show followed by the BLACKPINK rapper's performance on ROCKSTAR.

Notably, Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024 brought back veteran angels like Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio, Gigi Hadid, Jasmine Tookes, Grace Elizabeth, Taylor Hill, and Tyra Banks.

Contemporary models like Devyn Garcia, Ashley Graham, Alex Consani, and Paloma Elsesser walked to usher the new model lineup for the upcoming Victoria’s Secret shows in the future.

The show also made a historic statement by introducing two trans models, Alex Consani and Valentina Sampaio, as two of its angels (official VS models), breaking the age-old stereotype of the modeling industry. Furthermore, Tyra Banks returned to the runway after 19 years, closing the VSFW.

BLACKPINK's Lisa made a statement collaborating with 2024 VSFW as it was an ode to strong women from different walks of life and their legacies.


In other news, the BLACKPINK rapper has been nominated at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMA) in four categories: Best Music Video, Best Collaboration, Best K-pop, and Biggest Fans categories.

She also became the first K-pop idol and female act to receive the most nominations in the history of MTV Europe Music Awards.

Meanwhile, Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was live-streamed on Prime Video, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
