KATSEYE's performance at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show landed on Sunday, October 18, at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California — a two-song set of 'Pinky Up' and 'Animal' that began among the audience and ended with the group walking the runway themselves. It was the HYBE × Geffen Records group's biggest fashion-world booking to date, staged inside the show's 'Halftime By PINK' segment.
THE SET: 'PINKY UP' FROM THE AUDIENCE, 'ANIMAL' ON THE CATWALK
The four performing members — Daniela, Lara, Megan, and Yoonchae — began the first bars of 'Pinky Up' from the audience seating before moving onto the runway, backed by a full dance crew, and finishing the number with the song's high-energy choreography. Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza, both on hiatus, did not appear.
The group then returned to the catwalk for 'Animal' as the screens read 'PINK Class of 2026,' tying the performance to Victoria's Secret's PINK sub-line. The set closed with the members walking the runway, bridging the show's usual split between model and musical act.
THE STYLING: PINK-AND-BLACK GLITTER FOR THE KATSEYE VICTORIA'S SECRET PERFORMANCE
The group's wardrobe leaned into the PINK palette: custom pink-and-black pieces, described in coverage as glittered crop tops and bustiers with miniskirts, finished with studded belts. Each member wore distinct styling within that scheme, and the Angels' signature wings appeared elsewhere in the staging, per PAP Magazine's account.
RECEPTION AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR KATSEYE'S US MOMENT
Reaction was mixed but largely positive. Coverage from Billboard and the Korea Times focused on the vocals-plus-choreography format, while some viewers argued that continuous dancing pulled attention from the models. KATSEYE shared the bill with Tate McRae, Megan Thee Stallion, and Megan Moroney, and the full show is available on Victoria's Secret's official YouTube channel.
The appearance sits inside a busy month: the WILDWORLD Tour's North American arena run began in Miami on October 13, and the group's fashion-forward visibility continues to run alongside its touring and streaming growth.
