The star recently shared a serene image wearing the classic garment, much to the delight of doting fans.

While the tank top has always remained a must-have piece, the item has taken on a whole new sartorial cachet in recent months. Thanks to Prada's Fall 2022 collection, which saw the likes of Kaia Gerber and Euphoria star Hunter Schafer grace the runway in white triangle-plaque logo tank tops, the garment became a commercial hit.
