What do Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, Jennifer Lopez, and Hailey Bieber all have in common (other than impeccable bone structure and diamond-tier style muse status)? They keep reaching for the same top. Intimissimi’s Ultralight Bateau Neck Top has become one of those pieces that keeps showing up in street style, on your FYP, and in just about everyone’s checkout queue—and now the top has somehow gotten even better.
Intimissimi just dropped the best-selling silhouette in a new Ultralight Cotton fabric, and if you’ve ever loved how the original looks but wished it felt as good as it photographs, this is your moment. The original’s modal-cashmere blend has that gorgeous sheer drape that made it go viral in the first place—it just happens to be the kind of fabric that requires a little extra care. The cotton version, however, gives you the same look with a softer hand feel and a lot less laundry anxiety. Same fit! Same boat neck! Even the same $65 price tag! The collection goes beyond the bateau neck, too, with a tank top ($22), a bodysuit ($45), and a full range of bras and underwear in the same ultralight cotton.
If you’re a history buff like me, here’s the top’s origin story: It gained a cult following back in 2022, when Kendall wore the cashmere version in periwinkle on Jay Shetty’s podcast and inadvertently sent TikTok into a tailspin over it. From there, it spread to Bella Hadid’s off-duty rotation, Hailey Bieber’s post-Pilates wardrobe, and Emily Ratajkowski’s street style (she’s since become Intimissimi’s US brand ambassador, for what it’s worth).
The cotton version is already getting the celebrity treatment, too. Olivia Jade wore the Ultralight Cotton Top in black to a recent Intimissimi event in LA, pulling it slightly off the shoulder with a layered tank underneath, straight-leg jeans, and heeled sandals. Easy, effortless, but still the chicest thing in the room—which has always been the entire point of this top.
