In the series of images and videos posted to her story, Maya styled the Tape Type T-shirt Medium Fit in Black Faded from Spanish luxury fashion house Balenciaga, which currently retails on the website for £725.00 as a mini dress. The extortionately priced tee is from the brand's new men’s collection and features a printed graphic of the brand name across the front in bold typeface, designed to look like it’s made out of masking tape.

Though the 30-year-old British icon kept her look laid back, she made sure to elevate the ensemble with a pair of statement gold hoop earrings, a messy high ponytail and a light dusting of her go-to makeup look - a classic winged eyeliner and a plump glossy nude lip shade.
