The 2025 Academy Awards witnessed a groundbreaking moment as BLACKPINK’s Lalisa Manobal, known as Lisa, set the stage ablaze with an electrifying tribute to the James Bond legacy. As the first K-pop artist to ever perform at the Oscars, Lisa not only made history but also delivered a show-stopping performance that left the audience in awe.
Taking the stage for a grand homage to 007, Lisa delighted the audience with a powerful rendition of ‘Live and Let Die’ originally performed by Paul McCartney & Wings in 1973. The orchestral arrangement swelled as Lisa’s commanding vocals echoed through the venue, bringing a fresh yet nostalgic touch to the Bond classic.
For her performance, Lisa embraced full Bond glamour in a glittering black dress with long sleeves and a dramatic red satin underlining.
The Bond tribute continued with other stellar acts, adding to the night’s cinematic affair. Following Lisa’s breathtaking number, Doja Cat delivered a soulful performance of ‘Diamonds Are Forever,’ capturing the seductive charm of the Bond theme.
British singer Raye then took the stage with a beautiful performance of ‘Skyfall,’ further elevating the musical segment. Together, these powerhouse artists created an unforgettable celebration of the Bond franchise’s musical legacy.
Lisa's stunning Oscars 2025 red carpet look
Before setting the stage on fire, Lisa had already turned heads on the Oscars red carpet with her bold fashion choice. Ditching the traditional gowns, she opted for a sharply tailored tuxedo dress by Markgong. The sleek black ensemble featured a structured long coat over a crisp dress shirt. To complete the look, she added a red floral brooch, paying homage to Sean Connery’s timeless Bond style.
Her accessories were equally refined, with gold earrings and multiple rings adorning her fingers. Lisa’s makeup glam featured her signature flawless look with a subtle blush, bold glittering eyeshadow, and peachy lips. Lastly, she styled her hair in a sleek high ponytail with her bangs framing her face.
