As reported by Vogue, Lisa’s outfit featured a sheer black cape embellished with sparkling stars, moons, and swirling galaxy designs. She wore the brand’s iconic Bombshell bra, embellished with rhinestones and featuring a collar and ribbed band, while adding a modern touch with suede shorts. She completed her look with a starry body chain for extra sparkle and black heeled sandals decorated with mini pompoms.

This combination showcased a contrast to Hill’s original runway look, which paired a rhinestone-studded bra with panties and boots.

According to WWD, the outfit reflects Lisa’s affinity for structured designs combined with sheer, flowing elements. This was also evident in her appearance at the 2024 MTV VMAs in September, where she sported a custom Mugler design featuring a corseted bodice with semi-exposed boning, draped fabric, and a veil.

The Blackpink star adopted a bold "Moonlit" look during her performance at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City the same month, featuring rhinestone-embellished sheer fringe, micro shorts, and a triple-strap belt with grommets.

At 27, Lisa holds the title of the most-followed Asian artist on Instagram, with over 104 million followers, and she has set numerous trends, including the rise of art toy collecting.

She made history as the first K-pop idol to perform at a Victoria’s Secret show. However, her performance garnered mixed reactions from the public.

Victoria’s Secret, founded in the 1970s in the U.S., launched its televised fashion shows in 1995, with supermodels such as Adriana Lima and Gisele Bündchen gracing the runway. However, the show was discontinued in 2019 amid declining sales, viewership, and various controversies.

In Sep. 2023, Victoria’s Secret hosted "The Tour ‘23," an online event featuring plus-size models, marking a shift in the brand’s approach. This year, the show returned with a star-studded lineup that included models like Adriana Lima, Gigi Hadid, and Bella Hadid.
