Tate McRae, the Canadian pop sensation, took center stage at Saturday Night Live’s (SNL) 50th season in a mesmerizing creation by Indian couturier Rahul Mishra. The singer, known for her global hits, donned the ‘Cityscape’ corset from Mishra’s Spring 2025 couture collection – The Pale Blue Dot, a piece that blurs the lines between fashion and art.
The avant-garde corset, a 3D-embroidered metal frame structure, mimics the towering silhouettes of a metropolitan skyline, embodying Mishra’s signature craftsmanship. Intricately designed with shimmering embellishments, the architectural masterpiece is a testament to the designer’s ability to translate nature and urban landscapes into wearable couture.
Rahul Mishra, a pioneer of sustainable luxury and Indian artisanship, has carved a niche in the global fashion industry. The first Indian designer to showcase at Haute Couture Week in Paris, Mishra’s creations fuse traditional handloom textiles with cutting-edge design. His International Woolmark Prize-winning collection in 2014 propelled his label into international retail spaces, and his presence at Paris Fashion Week remains an annual highlight.
McRae, whose meteoric rise includes chart-topping hits like Greedy and You Broke Me First, brought Mishra’s visionary piece to life, merging the worlds of high fashion and pop culture. With SNL’s golden anniversary as the backdrop, the collaboration between the designer and the singer was nothing short of a spectacle—cementing Mishra’s reputation as a true artist in couture and McRae as a star embracing avant-garde fashion with effortless charisma.
