Katseye may have just found their sweetest collaboration yet.
After making waves with Gap’s global campaign set to Kelis’ iconic 2003 smash “Milkshake” — a viral moment that sent the internet into a frenzy — group members Manon and Sophia tell Page Six Style they’re manifesting a full-circle linkup with the “Bossy” singer herself.
“I have a feeling it’s going to come,” Manon teased during a joint interview with Sophia to promote their Invisalign partnership.
“She has been supportive online and that has felt really nice. So, she’s aware.”

Sophia — who, at 22, was born just months before “Milkshake” first dropped — says she already had a nostalgic connection to the track, thanks to “Mean Girls” and its place in pop culture.
“When they told us it was the song, we were like, ‘That is gonna eat,’” she recalled with a laugh. “It’s such a fun song and a lot of us know it from ‘Mean Girls.’ I remember thinking, ‘This song is going to be going up after [the Gap campaign].’ And it did. It feels so good. It’s so iconic.”
Katseye’s “Milkshake” recipe for Gap wasn’t whipped up overnight. Sophia reveals that choreographer Robbie Blue worked tirelessly with dancers to perfect the moves before the girls even stepped into rehearsal.
“He was just creating this magic,” she gushes. “Even with us in rehearsals, the choreography was constantly changing. He was determined to find the best fit for every part of this. It was mesmerizing.”
The massive three-day shoot felt “like one continuous day,” Sophia adds, thanks to hours spent in their same custom Gap outfits designed just for the ad. And don’t expect those looks to go anywhere but their own closets.
“It’s in my room, in my closet. You’re not taking it back from me!” Sophia says when asked if the performers could ever consider donating their ensembles to a museum.
“I’m not giving it up,” adds Manon, 23.
The pair were also floored by the scale of the production.
“I think this might be the biggest set we’ve ever been on,” Manon says.
“We got the full princess treatment. The Gap team made us feel comfortable and it did not feel like work — it just felt like a dream coming true.”
Manon and Sophia’s personal styles are decidedly distinct. All six members are able to embrace their individuality wherever fashion is at the forefront for Katseye — from their Gap campaign to their eye-catching music videos and head-turning red carpet appearances.
“You’re giving, like, rich, elegant royalty,” Manon tells Sophia, describing her bandmate’s sartorial sensibilities, which often veer into “girly and glam” territory.
“She gives me such model-off-duty,” Sophia counters, applauding Manon’s casual approach to styling herself.
“She’ll pull up to a function in sweatpants and a tank top and you won’t even realize it. Like, she is the outfit.”
For Manon, mixing things up with the “occasional miniskirt” keeps her fashion fresh.
“Every now and then, I like to spice it up a bit,” the singer explains, “and I walk down the street and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m feeling good.’”
That confidence extends to their megawatt smiles — now made easier thanks to their partnership with Invisalign, which the duo says has been a game changer.
“Invisalign really is the easiest way to get straight teeth,” Manon shares. “I had a big head brace as a child … so having Invisalign and really getting my teeth straightened without anyone noticing is a blessing.”
Sophia echoes that sentiment, calling it “so convenient.”
“I even kept my first aligner and every time I get a new set, I compare it to the last one. I see the change. It’s so effective and easy to fit into our busy schedules.”

Their viral Gap campaign is just the latest milestone in Katseye’s explosive rise following Netflix’s “Pop Star Academy,” which documented the group’s formation.
Since then, they’ve notched major wins: a record-breaking performance at Lollapalooza, their first-ever MTV Video Music Award, a coveted Coachella booking for next year and the announcement of their debut headlining tour — all underscored by a succession of hits like “Touch,” “Gnarly” and Gabriela.”
“I can’t just give you one [highlight],” Manon reflects. “There’s truly been so many. It feels like we’ve been doing this for 10 years.”
Sophia still can’t believe it herself. “We were just at the VMAs, we’re performing at Coachella, we were at Lollapalooza, we’re going on tour. Coachella! Are you kidding me? That’s insane,” she says, recalling the moment she spotted their name high up on the festival poster.
“I was like, ‘Wait, why is our name up there?’”
With a viral campaign under their belt, a possible Kelis collaboration on the horizon and a world tour ahead, one thing’s for sure: Katseye is just getting started.
