KATSEYE have sparked another fashion debate after Sophia Laforteza and Megan Skiendiel appeared together in a TikTok dance for the group's new single, 'Animal'. The short rehearsal-style clip sees the pair dancing to the track, with Sophia wearing a black long-sleeved top and dark, wide-leg jeans.
Megan's outfit, however, quickly became the focus of the comments. She wore a black bra-style top with low-rise baggy jeans, leaving much of her midriff exposed. While some fans defended the 20-year-old singer's outfit choice, others questioned whether the revealing look was appropriate for a social media video.

Megan's Bra-Style Top Sparks Debate
The reaction was split between fans who felt the outfit was simply too revealing and those who saw no issue with it.
Some commenters questioned why Megan was wearing what appeared to be a bra rather than a conventional top. One criticism read: 'We want more vocals not more body. Another pointed out: 'It's just a bra, not a "top".'
Others focused less on modesty and more on the styling itself. One fan bluntly said: 'It just looks too small and too high up. Too much torso. The proportions are just off. It's not hot.'
Another suggested that Sophia, being older, could perhaps wear the crop top while Megan could have had more coverage.
Supporters Push Back: 'Who Cares?'
The opposing side argued that the criticism places unnecessary expectations on what a young female pop star should wear.
'Guys y'all forget she's an adult and can wear whatever she wants,' one fan wrote. Another put it even more simply: 'She's a pop star, not a nun.'
Several fans also pointed out that the clip appeared to be a rehearsal video, and not a formally styled performance. One commenter said they were comfortable with whatever the members chose to wear for rehearsal, comparing Megan's outfit to wearing a sports bra while working out.
Another fan argued that criticism should centre on the performer's comfort instead of the viewers' personal preferences. They noted that KATSEYE's short-form rehearsal videos are generally different from professionally styled performances, where the members' outfits are more clearly part of a planned concept.
Why Do KATSEYE's Outfits Keep Dividing Fans?
The discussion also feeds into a larger conversation around KATSEYE's fashion choices. The group have repeatedly faced online criticism over outfits described by online critics as lingerie-inspired or overly revealing.
Earlier this year, their Coachella looks were criticised for their lingerie aesthetic. Some fans were questioning the styling while others defended the members' freedom to dress as they choose.
That context helps explain why a simple rehearsal clip featuring Megan's bra-style top has attracted so much attention. What might otherwise have been another dance video has become part of an ongoing debate about KATSEYE's evolving image.
KATSEYE Enters Their 'Animal' Era
The TikTok comes as KATSEYE promote 'Animal', their latest single and the second pre-release track from their upcoming third EP, WILD. The song was released on 24 July and has been described by the group as a bold, flirtatious pop track about embracing a wilder side.
'Animal' was co-written by Ed Sheeran and comes with a music video featuring Demi Moore. The track follows KATSEYE's 2025 EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, which reached the top five of the Billboard 200.
With 'Animal' now at the centre of their latest promotional push, KATSEYE are clearly leaning into a more confident and grown-up pop identity. Whether fans love or dislike Megan's rehearsal look, the debate shows just how closely the group's fashion choices are being watched alongside their music.
