In October 2026, Lara and fellow member Megan attended Loewe’s Spring 2027 show during Paris Fashion Week, marking another major fashion appearance for the pair.

Manon

Manon Bannerman is one of KATSEYE‘s six original members and has remained an important part of the group’s story since its formation.

In February 2026, Manon began a temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and wellbeing. KATSEYE subsequently continued some performances without her.

Although she has not been participating in KATSEYE‘s regular performances during her hiatus, Manon has continued to attract attention through individual appearances and fashion-related activities.

She was also featured in KATSEYE‘s Wild Hearts documentary, which gave viewers a closer look at the group’s journey and the members’ experiences.

Sophia

Sophia Laforteza is the leader of KATSEYE and one of the group’s six original members.

In 2026, Sophia temporarily stepped away from group activities to focus on her mental health and wellbeing. Her hiatus was announced in August, shortly before several of KATSEYE‘s scheduled performances.

Before her hiatus, Sophia participated in major KATSEYE activities throughout the year, including the group’s Grammy appearance and its Coachella debut.

KATSEYE‘s Coachella performance in April featured Sophia alongside Daniela, Lara, Megan, and Yoonchae, while Manon was absent because of her ongoing hiatus.

The group has also continued its international touring schedule. KATSEYE‘s WILDWORLD TOUR reached Europe in September, with dates including Copenhagen, before the group prepared for its U.S. tour leg.
