Tate McRae is embracing a more fashion-forward era, and her latest Variety cover shoot proves it. The “Sports Car” singer posed for a series of striking portraits. She opened up about life after her blockbuster ‘Miss Possessive Tour’ while showcasing an editorial wardrobe that ranged from cozy basics to daring high-fashion looks.
Tate McRae poses in nothing but cheeky Calvin Klein thong and knee-high socks for Variety
The standout look featured Tate McRae wearing an oversized grey knit sweater with nothing underneath except a cheeky white Calvin Klein thong. The iconic branded waistband peeked out just above her hips, adding a sporty touch to the otherwise minimalist styling. She completed the outfit with slouchy knee-high Baserange socks that pooled around her calves, creating an effortlessly cool, off-duty aesthetic.
McRae crouched low for the camera. This accentuated the sweater’s oversized silhouette, while the Calvin Klein underwear remained subtly visible from the side. The styling balanced comfort with confidence, proving that elevated basics can be just as impactful as couture. Her long, honey-blonde hair was worn in soft, voluminous waves, while glowing skin, bronzed makeup, and a glossy nude lip kept the focus on the relaxed yet sultry ensemble.
The Calvin Klein thong has long been a celebrity favorite, and McRae’s editorial puts a fresh spin on the iconic underwear by pairing it with cozy knitwear rather than the brand’s signature matching bras. This made it feel modern, youthful, and perfectly in tune with the singer’s evolving fashion identity.
While the grey sweater and Calvin Klein look stole the spotlight, the ‘Variety’ shoot also featured McRae in a yellow knit sweater, metallic underwear, and black boxing gloves. Furthermore, she wore a silky pink slip dress with embellished heels and leg warmers for the magazine’s cover. Lastly, a polished blue button-down paired with flared trousers. Together, the images showcased the singer’s versatility.
