Tate McRae made a striking fashion statement on March 28, 2024, at the Time100 Next event held at Pier 59 in New York City. Celebrated for her inclusion in the esteemed magazine’s list of the 100 most influential rising stars, the “Greedy” singer showcased her evolving style by donning a stunning piece from the Valentino Spring/Summer 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection, designed by Alessandro Michele.
McRae’s outfit marked a departure from her usual sporty attire, which often prioritizes comfort due to her background in dance. The almond-colored dress featured layers of light fabric elegantly draped over her figure, accentuated by tight ruffles along the hem and a dramatic train. The cowl-neck bodice, supported by two delicate straps, was complemented by a flowing cape of scalloped fabric that added an ethereal quality to the ensemble.
The standout element of McRae’s look was the geometric silver rhinestone netting that framed the design, evoking the glamour of the Roaring ’20s. She accessorized with sparkling drop earrings and styled her wavy bronde hair down, completing the sophisticated appearance with tan sandal heels that harmonized beautifully with her dress.
Reflecting on her journey in the fashion world, McRae discussed her style evolution during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year. Following the release of her third studio album, So Close to What, she expressed that her commitment to dance has often limited her wardrobe choices. “As a dancer, you want to be able to do everything, so the comfortability part of it is so important,” she explained. While she has often leaned towards sporty clothing, she is eager to embrace more high-fashion elements in her performances.
“I definitely do want to try leaning into the fashion a little more for this tour,” McRae remarked. Her recent appearances, including the high-fashion visuals in her “Sports Car” music video and her captivating presence on the red carpet, indicate a promising future as she explores deeper into the world of fashion. It will be intriguing to see how her style continues to evolve as she balances her artistic expression in both music and fashion.
