Tate McRae Channels Versace’s Iconic 2000s Glam on the Miss Possessive Tour

When Tate McRae stepped on stage during her Miss Possessive Tour, fans and fashion insiders alike instantly recognized a sartorial homage to one of the most iconic runway moments of the early 2000s: Gisele Bündchen’s white Versace bodysuit with gilded hardware. In a tour wardrobe brimming with Y2K references and pop power, this look stood out as a love letter to the era that shaped a generation of supermodels and pop stars alike.

A Supermodel Moodboard

McRae has never shied away from her admiration for Gisele Bündchen, calling her “one of my favourite supermodels” and filling her tour moodboard with images of the Brazilian icon. For the Miss Possessive Tour, McRae and her stylist Brett Alan Nelson dove deep into the Versace archives, drawing direct inspiration from Gisele’s unforgettable white bodysuit adorned with bold gold blocks-a look that epitomized Donatella Versace’s early-aughts vision of female power, sensuality, and confidence.

The Look: White Bodysuit, Golden Accents

On stage in Lisbon, McRae electrified the crowd in a custom white body-hugging suit, meticulously tailored to echo the Versace original. The silhouette was pure Y2K: high-cut legs, a sculpted fit, and a halter neckline that accentuated McRae’s athleticism and stage presence. What truly set the look apart were the gleaming gold blocks-strategically placed hardware that caught the light with every movement, nodding to the era’s obsession with metallics and statement details.

The effect was both nostalgic and futuristic: a pop star channeling the unapologetic glamour of a supermodel, yet making it her own with the energy and attitude of Gen Z. The look seamlessly blended athleticism (a nod to McRae’s dance roots) with high-octane fashion, allowing her to move freely while commanding the stage.

Styling and Stagecraft

The rest of the ensemble was kept intentionally minimal to let the bodysuit shine. McRae’s hair was styled in loose, effortless waves-a modern update to Gisele’s legendary bombshell look. Accessories were pared back: just a pair of gold hoop earrings and white knee-high boots, further emphasizing the clean lines and sculptural drama of the outfit.

Lighting and choreography played their part, too. As McRae performed under spotlights that bounced off the gold hardware, the bodysuit transformed into an armor of confidence-a visual metaphor for the Miss Possessive era’s themes of self-possession and power.

A Fashion Legacy Reimagined

In an age where pop stars are as much fashion icons as they are musicians, McRae’s Versace-inspired look is a reminder of the enduring influence of early-2000s runway. By reinterpreting Gisele’s legendary moment for a new generation, McRae cements her place in the lineage of artists who understand that every tour is also a fashion show-and every outfit, a statement.

As the Miss Possessive Tour continues across Europe and beyond, expect more archival nods, bold silhouettes, and the kind of fashion storytelling that makes both fans and editors swoon. For McRae, it’s not just about singing the hits-it’s about dressing for them, too.
