LISA from BLACKPINK makes history as the first Asian and K-pop idol at VSFS

For the second segment of the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Lisa performed “Moonlit Floor”, another solo track she released in October 2024. Dressed in a set of golden wings and black sheer lingerie, she delivered a stunning rendition of the song, infused with inspiration from the classic 1998 hit “Kiss Me”by Sixpence None the Richer.

As Lisa took center stage, plus-size models, including Ashley Graham, opened this segment. Earlier in the show, Gigi Hadid had initiated the first segment, leading to Lisa’s electrifying performance of “ROCKSTAR”.

This year’s VSFS also welcomed back legendary angels such as Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio, Gigi Hadid, Jasmine Tookes, Grace Elizabeth, Taylor Hill, and Tyra Banks. Additionally, contemporary models including Devyn Garcia, Ashley Graham, Alex Consani, and Paloma Elsesser helped to introduce a fresh model lineup for future shows.

In a progressive move, the fashion event showcased two transgender models, Alex Consani and Valentina Sampaio, as official angels, breaking traditional stereotypes in the modeling industry. Tyra Banks also made a striking return, gracing the runway for the first time in 19 years, as the show concluded.

Lisa’s participation in the 2024 VSFS stands as a powerful tribute to strong women from diverse paths and their lasting legacies.

In addition to her VSFS success, the BLACKPINK rapper received four nominations at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMA) for Best Music Video, Best Collaboration, Best K-pop, and Biggest Fans, marking her as the first K-pop idol and female artist to earn the highest number of nominations in the awards’ history.
