Lisa’s outfit, a Markgong design, broke the mould. A streamlined black tuxedo dress, worn over a long white shirtdress, made for an intriguing silhouette. The open shirtdress showed flared black pants, injecting a hint of tough sophistication. A bright red carnation brooch added a splash of colour to the monochromatic scheme. The fitted outfit, with its lengthened coat and pleated shirtdress, reflected Lisa's individual style and self-assurance.
Lisa’s Bond tribute wins over the crowd
Lisa’s Oscar debut went beyond the red carpet. After Margaret Qualley’s first dance number, the Blackpink star dropped onto the stage, hanging from wires, to give a performance of Live and Let Die.
The legendary Bond theme, originally sung by Wings, echoed through the Dolby Theatre, it being a powerful and surprising performance. This pairing of high fashion with a strong musical performance, made Lisa's Oscar debut a truly unforgettable one.
