Tate McRae’s Best Bikini Moments Through the Years

Canadian singer Tate McRae remains one to watch.
From her catchy, sultry tracks to her impressive dance moves and awesomely choreographed music videos, it’s not surprising the artist has become a household name since her first album dropped in 2022. The So You Think You Can Dance alum is constantly serving up inspiration for her global fan base, and that’s not limited to her addictive music.
As evidenced at events and on her Instagram page, McRae has a distinct fashion sense that blends sporty chic and Y2K edge. The pop star—whose latest album, So Close To What, dropped Feb. 21, 2025—is a total fashion icon, and, unsurprisingly, that extends to swimwear. While she can typically be seen wearing a cropped graphic tee, oversized pants or sporty short shorts, her taste in bikinis is a bit more feminine.
From crochet and ruffles to sultry staples and animal print, here are some of McRae’s best bikini moments through the years.

Serving up multiple aesthetics throughout her bikini photos, McRae proves that you don’t have to choose just one style to follow.
McRae’s music video for her hit single “Sports Car” showed this, as she stepped out of her comfort zone to experiment more with her fashion, wearing a long list of bold looks, including archival designer pieces. Her stylist for the video, Brett Alan Nelson, called the transformation a focus on “Tate, the supermodel,” allowing audiences to see her in a new light.
“There was so much discomfort with this video,” McRae told Vogue. “I wore wigs for the first time, which was a risk for me because I’ve always had my hair and my look. But [director] Bardia [Zeinali] and Brett, for this video, pushed me in a scary direction. I think I got to show so many characters that I didn’t even know existed.”
As her career as a musician evolves, we have no doubt her fashion choices will too. We’ll be keeping a close watch to see what she wears next, from dresses to swimwear and everything in between.
