Lisa brought all-white leather and towering Ssimeez boots to Los Angeles Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., on Friday, joining Anitta and Rema for the first live performance of “Goals” during the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony before the U.S. Men’s National Team faced Paraguay in Group D.

The Blackpink member performed in Ssimeez’s white Platform Lace-up Long Boots. The knee-high boots featured a rounded toe and a platform measuring 5.5 centimeters, or just over 2 inches. Tonal laces ran from the vamp to the top of the stretch shaft, leaving narrow openings down the front, while a side zipper offered a quicker entry than the full lace-up construction suggested.

The boots extended the same open-laced construction through her custom Zana Bayne leather two-piece. The cropped high-neck top and high-cut briefs mixed smooth and pebbled white leather, with hand-set eyelets tracing the paneled pieces and long ties falling from the sides. Matching fingerless leather gloves finished the look with more white lacing at her wrists.
Lisa’s footwear range has long moved between polished fantasy and performance-ready edge. At the 2025 Busan International Film Festival last September, she gave the clear shoe trend a more storybook finish in transparent Maison Margiela Tabi wedges, while her Blackpink tour wardrobe included sharper silhouettes like Gianvito Rossi’s black Ascott boots during the group’s “Deadline” tour, which concluded in January 2026.

This year, she carried that more directional instinct into NikeSKIMS’ spring 2026 campaign, which introduced the satin Rift shoe, before returning to stage footwear at Coachella in April in silver boots while performing “Bad Angel” with Anyma.
Her fashion profile has only grown alongside her solo work. Earlier this year, Lisa attended the 2026 Golden Globe Awards in a sheer Jacquemus look, and in January, Kith named her guest designer for its spring 2026 collection. The move followed a busy stretch for the performer, who released her debut studio album, “Alter Ego,” in 2025, and returned to the stage with Blackpink as the group continued its “Deadline” world tour.

Lisa, Anitta and Rema’s “Goals” brings together K-pop, Afrobeats and Latin pop, with production from Cirkut. “Being a part of the Official FIFA World Cup Album this year has been so exciting,” Lisa said in an official release. “Music always unites people across the world, so it has been an honor to work with Anitta and Rema.”
The 2026 FIFA World Cup officially kicked off on June 11 and runs through July 19, with 48 countries participating in 104 matches throughout the tournament. Lisa’s Los Angeles performance was part of the U.S. opening ceremony lineup, which also included Katy Perry, who opted for a pair of Aquazzura Sea Wave wedges, Future, who wore white Louis Vuitton trainers with a custom look and Tyla, who performed in transparent Jeffrey Campbell heels.
