Tate McRae Stuns in Valentino’s Dreamlike Cruise 2026 Campaign

Tate McRae stuns in Valentino’s Cruise 2026 campaign, wearing red and navy couture looks that blend surreal beauty with signature house elegance.

Valentino’s Cruise 2026 campaign has arrived — and it’s every bit as enchanting as fans expected. Starring Tate McRae alongside Dakota Johnson, Dev Hynes, and Anne Imhof, the campaign captures the quiet magic of Alessandro Michele’s latest vision: the world between sleep and wake.

In one of the campaign’s standout images, McRae appears brow-less and striking in a red Valentino high-neck gown, featuring long sleeves and an A-line maxi skirt. Posed in the doorway of a soft pink room, she holds open a hatch with one hand while clutching a floral embroidered purse in the other — a study in cinematic poise and couture artistry

Keeping her signature chestnut brown hair flowing, McRae’s makeup embraced ethereal restraint — fringed lashes, soft nude lips, and a glittery brown smoky eye completing the look’s luminous energy.

In another frame, the “Tit for Tat” singer wears an off-the-shoulder navy blue dress with a thigh-high slit and sparkly ruching across the waist. The gown transitions into a floral and polka-dot skirt that trails into a floor-grazing train, striking a perfect balance between classic Valentino elegance and modern playfulness.

The campaign, set to Chopin’s “Nocturne in E Flat”, explores the “liminal space” of hotel rooms — where intimacy and anonymity coexist. The visuals highlight new Valentino styles, including sheer sequin gowns, fur-cuffed jackets, tweed blazers, and playful mini dresses, alongside statement accessories like the Panthea Shoulder Bag, feather-trimmed satin skirts, and the D’Orsay Bondie Pump.

With each frame, Tate McRae brings youthful allure and quiet strength to Valentino’s latest dreamscape — proving she’s as much a fashion muse as she is a pop powerhouse.
