The Historic Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Comeback: Lisa's Role
The 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show marked a monumental return for the brand, which had cancelled its traditional, televised runway event in 2019. The comeback show, held in Brooklyn, New York, on October 15, 2024, was envisioned as a more contemporary and inclusive celebration of women, featuring a diverse cast of models and an all-female lineup of performers.
Opening the Show on a Motorcycle
In a moment that immediately became a cultural flashpoint, Lisa didn't just walk the runway; she opened the show. The K-pop icon made a splashy, high-impact entrance by riding onto the stage on a motorcycle, setting the tone for a show that was both glamorous and rebellious.
Her role as the final performer was a huge nod to her global star power and the brand's shift toward embracing mainstream music icons. The performance was a showcase for her solo music, featuring two of her biggest hits.
The Viral Setlist: "ROCKSTAR" and "Moonlit Floor"
Lisa performed two of her solo songs, delivering a high-energy, dance-heavy routine that electrified the audience.
- "ROCKSTAR": She began with her hit single, "ROCKSTAR," performing fierce choreography alongside a group of dancers. This performance segment was characterized by a moto-chic look, complete with chain details and a powerful, edgy aesthetic.
- "Moonlit Floor": She also performed her song "Moonlit Floor," showcasing a different, perhaps more sensual, side of her artistry. Fans praised her label, LLOUD, for ensuring her vocals shone through, proving her capabilities as a live vocalist.
A Closer Look at Lisa's 3 Sultry Victoria's Secret Outfits
True to her status as a fashion trendsetter, Lisa wore three distinct and highly-praised outfits throughout the night, each one embodying a different facet of the Victoria's Secret aesthetic—glamour, edge, and sensuality.
1. The Crystal-Embellished Bralette (Pink Carpet Look)
For her arrival on the pink carpet, Lisa stunned in a monochromatic, all-black ensemble. The centerpiece was a breathtaking bralette heavily embellished with crystals, paired with a matching choker detail. This look also featured a delicate butterfly embellishment, blending the brand's signature feminine touch with a modern, high-fashion edge.
2. The Moto-Chic Performance Look ("ROCKSTAR")
Matching the theme of her opening song, "ROCKSTAR," her first performance outfit was a bold, moto-chic look. This ensemble played on leather and chain details, presenting a powerful, confident, and slightly rebellious image as she commanded the runway after her motorcycle entrance.
3. The Archival Ensemble (The Nod to History)
Adding a deep layer of fashion history to her appearance, Lisa graced the show in an ensemble that was described as an archival outfit. By wearing a piece previously showcased, she not only highlighted the brand’s legacy but also cemented her own place in fashion history by bridging the gap between the original iconic show and its modern revival.
The Conversation: Praise, Provocation, and the K-Pop Debate
Lisa's performance, while universally praised for its energy and star quality, was not without controversy, echoing previous discussions surrounding her artistic choices.
The Provocative Criticism
Some segments of the public and online commentators criticized the performance for being "too provocative." This reaction stemmed from the sultry nature of the lingerie-focused fashion show and the revealing outfits, particularly given her large and devoted fanbase, which includes many younger fans (Lillies).
This debate is a recurring one in K-pop, where female idols often navigate a fine line between artistic expression, Western-style sensuality, and the more conservative expectations sometimes placed on Asian artists.
Paving the Way for K-Pop
Despite the divided opinions, the overwhelming consensus celebrated Lisa for breaking a major barrier. As the first K-pop artist to perform at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, she opened a new door for Asian artists in the global fashion and entertainment landscape. Her successful performance demonstrated the immense power and influence of K-pop, positioning its stars as essential figures in high-profile Western events.
Her appearance at the 2024 show solidified her position as a multifaceted global phenomenon—a successful solo artist, the CEO of her own company LLOUD, and an undeniable force in the world of luxury and high-stakes fashion. Her Victoria's Secret moment was a definitive statement of her individual power and her ability to command the world's most famous runways.
