KATSEYE brought their signature girl-group energy to the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, turning the runway into their very own stage! But beyond the performances and stylish outfits, the group also had some exciting news to share with fans.
The global girl group performed two tracks from their latest EP, Wild, while helping introduce the show’s youthful Victoria’s Secret PINK section.
And to make the night even more special, the members revealed that Sophia Laforteza is preparing to return following her temporary hiatus.
KATSEYE Brings ‘Pinky Up’ And ‘Animal’ To The Runway
Following Tate McRae’s performance, KATSEYE took over the runway with their catchy track ‘Pinky Up.’
The four members, Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel and Yoonchae Jeong, made their entrance from the audience stands, dressed in matching miniskirts and corsets.
Two members wore bright neon pink leggings, while the other two opted for sheer black leggings, creating a playful take inspired by pop-pink and streetwear fashion.
The outfits matched the youthful style of Victoria’s Secret PINK, making the group a fitting choice to introduce the section.
Adding a fun touch to the performance, the girls began singing into a selfie camera labelled “Pink Cam,” giving the runway moment a more personal feel.
But KATSEYE wasn’t done just yet!
The group continued with “Animal,” another single from their latest EP, keeping the energy going throughout their performance.
Towards the end, a giant portrait featuring the members alongside Victoria’s Secret models was revealed, displaying the words “Pink Class of 2026”.
KATSEYE Shares An Exciting Update On Sophia’s Return
While KATSEYE delivered an energetic performance, fans also received some welcome news about one of the group’s absent members.
Only four of the group’s original six members attended the fashion show, as Meret Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza are currently on temporary hiatus.
Both members announced their breaks in February 2026. However, during an interview with E! News at the event, the group revealed that Sophia will be returning soon.
“We are so happy that she’s coming back,” Lara Raj shared.
“We’re so proud of her. She’s really been so brave”.
A Busy Year for KATSEYE
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show performance comes after an eventful few months for KATSEYE.
The group released their latest EP, Wild, on 14th August 2026, featuring the tracks ‘Pinky Up’ and ‘Animal’.
Just two days later on 12th August, their documentary KATSEYE: Wild Hearts premiered. The 80-minute documentary follows the members after their Netflix series.
