Felix Takes The Spotlight
Stray Kids’ main dancer Felix stepped off the stage and into the fashion world as a star model for Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2026 show under creative director Nicolas Ghesquière. Known to fans as @yong.lixx on Instagram, he arrived in a head-to-toe blue look that matched the collection’s serene palette, immediately setting social media abuzz.
A Blue Hued Affair
On March 25, Felix shared a series of nine behind-the-scenes images from the runway on his Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ96mStzZhE/). His caption consisted of a single blue heart emoji (🩵) followed by tags for @nicolasghesquiere, @florentbuono and @marieameliesauve, the team credited with photography and styling. Each shot—from the satin-detailed coat to the slim trousers—carried the #LVCRUISE26 hashtag, reinforcing his partnership with @louisvuitton.
In an earlier post on March 20 (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ852ZwpZhd/), he teased fans with “Can’t wait!” alongside the same collaborators, building anticipation for his runway debut.
From Stray Kids To Vuitton Ambassador
Felix’s runway appearance builds on his role as House Ambassador for Louis Vuitton. Last year, at the Women’s Fall-Winter 2025 show, he introduced the brand’s striking new Express bag in a campaign shot by Florent Buono (https://www.instagram.com/p/DHF4o3XNGV0/). That event earned praise from Esquire Korea and confirmed his status as one of the house’s key faces across Asia and beyond.
Online Reactions
Fans reacted within minutes. On Twitter, #Felix trended as viewers applauded his poised walk among seasoned runway veterans. Reddit threads dissected every seam of his tailored ensemble. Memes quickly dubbed the shade of his outfit “STAY blue,” a nod to the Stray Kids fandom. His single-emoji caption sparked a flurry of fan art and edits celebrating the minimalist code.
Felix’s seamless crossover from K-pop idol to high-fashion muse underscores the growing influence of celebrity ambassadors in luxury shows. By fronting Nicolas Ghesquière’s vision for Cruise 2026, he’s raised the bar for music-to-couture collaborations, proving that a strong sense of personal style can shine through even the most established fashion houses. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on what Felix does next—both on stage and on the runway.
