Tate McRae just reminded everyone that Instagram should be casual again, while also proving she’s still the queen of effortlessly cool. The Canadian pop star dropped a new carousel this week, and while each slide offered a glimpse into her vibrant, tour-filled life, the first photo immediately stole the show.

In the cover snap, McRae posed for a sultry bathroom mirror selfie, flaunting her toned, sculpted figure in the white COARI dress from Maygel Coronel. The halter-neck mini, originally priced at $450 and now on sale for $225, features ruched detailing, floral 3D appliqués and a dramatic side cut-out. Equal parts flirty and fashion-forward, the design captures what the Colombian brand is known for: daring silhouettes that celebrate the female form.

The 22-year-old, who is currently on her Miss Possessive world tour after releasing her third studio album, So Close to What in February, has fully embraced her superstar status while still keeping her online presence grounded.

Her casual yet curated photo dumps feel like the diary entries of a Gen Z “It Girl,” equal parts glamorous and relatable. The “you broke me first” singer captioned the post with a playful string of tiger emojis, perfectly capturing the post’s chaotic-cool vibe.

“Hello baddie,” Megan Moroney commented.

“QUEEN,” Tyler Schmitt added.

Beyond the white-hot mini moment, the rest of the carousel was equally on-brand. One image showed a floor covered in sunglasses, heels and clothing—likely taken during a fitting with a stylist. In another, McRae reclined outdoors in a vintage red string bikini with her belly button ring on display. Later, she brought the sporty-meets-sexy aesthetic to life in an oversized green jersey from Barrow (the now-sold-out “Coach Print Shirt”), paired with red mini shorts and Fendi vintage ponyhair pumps for a close-up mirror snap as she sat on the floor.

The 21-year-old’s fashion game has been non-stop. Just a few weeks ago, she hit the red carpet for the F1: The Movie premiere in London wearing a custom black Balenciaga gown styled by Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo. The dramatic look was paired with Bvlgari diamonds and marked another bold style moment from McRae, who also recorded a track for the movie’s soundtrack

From glittering, custom bedazzled suits to sheer lace Honey Birdette bras, McRae’s stage wardrobe is a masterclass in pop star fashion. There‘s no doubt she’s a true hybrdi between a performer and athlete in concert, but she‘s also a style icon in the making.
