Yoonchae, Megan, Lara and Daniela of KATSEYE turned the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion show into their very own KAT-walk on Sunday (Oct. 18), looking fierce while performing their hits “Pinky Up” and “Animal” as models showed off the brand’s new Pink collection.
Taking the spotlight moments after Tate McRae finished her performance, the four singer-dancers — who appeared sans their bandmates Manon and Sophia, who are on hiatus — started out in the audience as they dove into the first few bars of “Pinky Up.” Backed up by a fleet of dancers, the ladies then marched onto the runway and finished out the number with their signature, high-energy choreography, fitting right in with the models in custom pink-and-black bustiers and miniskirts.
After a brief interlude, Yoonchae, Megan, Lara and Daniela returned to the catwalk to finish out strong with “Animal,” singing as the screens read “PINK Class of 2026.” Before leaving the stage, the quartet also did their best model walks down the runway, holding their own among the pros.
Later, Megan Thee Stallion would strut in her own bejeweled bra and angel wings while rapping “Body.” Earlier in the show, Megan Moroney wore furry pink wings and strummed a pink guitar while singing “6 Months Later” and “Wish I Didn’t,” after which McRae appeared in smoldering red lingerie to perform new single “Housewife.”
Both “Pinky Up” and “Animal” appear on KATSEYE’s 2026 EP, WILD, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 in August, marking the girl group’s first-ever No. 1 on the chart. The tracks respectively peaked at Nos. 28 and 24 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The VSFS is just the latest KATSEYE engagement that Yoonchae, Megan, Lara and Daniela have handled without 1/3 of their lineup. Manon has been on hiatus since February, while Sophia announced in August that she’d be stepping away for a while to focus on mental health.
But at the fashion show, the present ladies gave E! News an update following the news that Sophia will return for band activities in January. “We’re so proud of her. She’s really been so brave,” Lara told the outlet on the red carpet. “We respect her so much for taking the space and taking time for her health. She’s our sister, so we can’t wait for her to come back.”
