They say to impress the French, one needs to imbibe the vibe thoroughly, enjoy the culture, and exude its aura. Very few outsiders have managed to amuse Parisians mildly, let alone captivate them.
And then comes Lisa Manobal, who not only won hearts but has also become the face of several high-end French brands.
Lisa embraced her elegant side with Bulagri, lauded for her sophisticated, opulent look.
Her influence has propelled several brands to reach global engagement and increase their brand value. Celine recognized Lisa’s power and made her the global ambassador in 2020. Here are the stats to substantiate Lisa’s dominance–
Lisa’s reign didn’t end with brand endorsements. For the first time in Parisian history, a K-pop idol has been invited to perform at the coveted Le Crazy Horse de Paris, also known as Le Crazy Horse Saloon. Lisa Manobal was scheduled to perform at five shows on September 28, 29, and 30.
Lisa, widely known for her superior dancing skills, got the opportunity to explore the other end of the spectrum with a Cabaret performance. Lillies (Lisa’s fans) and Blinks came together to support her boldest endeavor yet, trending the #LISAXCRAZYHORSEPARIS.
As soon as Crazy Horse revealed the announcement, fans flocked to the site to get their hands on tickets for the exclusive event. The pre-booking was sold out in a matter of few minutes. And now, with the arrival of D-Day, Lisa has become the talk of the town due to her mesmerizing cabaret debut.
Since the event was exclusive, people have been boasting about how fortunate they felt after getting the chance to see Lisa perform live. Meanwhile, celebrities worldwide flew in to see Lisa’s live performance. Even Jennie, Lisa’s band member, headed straight from the 14-hour flight to see her perform.
However, this performance also raised a few eyebrows over the context of the show. According to a specific group of netizens, they believe that Lisa has crossed the line with such a bold stage. The Crazy Horse gig is known for its audacious stage, where women wear revealing outfits while performing. As a result, a collective misconstrued the artistic liberty of Cabaret’s performance as something inappropriate for an idol to indulge in.
Subsequently, Lisa received unwarranted criticisms from the netizens, particularly from Korea and China. In fact, China has banned strip shows nationwide.
Hence, they also banned any coverage of Lisa’s Crazy Horse Performance, stating that it is a form of a strip show. Some haters went overboard by harassing her family members, compelling Lisa’s mother to delete her Instagram account.
However, the Parisian netizens clarified that the ladies perform with utmost dignity as the show is one of the most decorated events in the city. Per their culture, they believe that the ladies encourage other women to embrace their bodies.
Regardless of the discourse, no one could deny the absolute influence Lisa holds as her shows were sold out, with several VIPs gracing their presence.
One such influential person who came to see Lisa’s Crazy Horse stage was Christian Louboutin. The prolific and coveted footwear designer was so enchanted by the K-pop idol’s cabaret performance that he gifted Lisa an exquisite Astroloubi woman sneakers, especially signed by him with a sweet, heartfelt message: “For Lisa with love.”

If you own those red-soled shoes, it means you have made a mark for yourself. Imagine being presented with exclusive shoes signed by the designer, Christian Louboutin himself!
Only Lisa Manobal is capable of achieving this rare feat for her feet (mild pun intended). Christian Louboutin personally gifted Lisa with his signature pair of red and white Louboutin sneakers, which are designed with “textures such as smooth calfskin leather, soft suede, sleek satin, and matte rubber.”
Mr. Louboutin personally signed the designer Astroloubi sneakers for Lisa after watching her charming Crazy Horse stage.
