Kate Cassidy just debuted some celestial ink that has us all saying, “Wing it, girl!” More than two months after the untimely passing of her boyfriend, Liam Payne, the 22-year-old is turning grief into art with angel wing tattoos on her fingers. Yes, you heard that right—tiny wings right where her texting thumbs can always see them. Talk about multitasking love and practicality.
Kate took to her Instagram Story on December 22 to share a snap of her fresh tattoos while chilling in bed with her dog, Nala. Oh, and did we mention Nala is the pooch she and Liam adopted together just a month before the singer’s tragic passing? This pup is basically the emotional support dog of the year.
In the pic, Kate strikes a casual “just woke up but still flawless” pose, showcasing the delicate wings inked on her index and middle fingers. The wings? They’re giving angel realness. The vibe? One red heart emoji, no caption needed. Honestly, we love a minimalist queen.
For those out of the loop, Kate and Liam were the it couple for two years before the One Direction alum’s devastating death on October 16. The 31-year-old tragically passed after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The duo had been vacationing together for two weeks before Kate returned home solo—a heartbreaking turn in what was supposed to be an idyllic getaway.
Now, with her new ink, Kate is clearly keeping Liam’s memory close—literally, as in, right next to her phone screen. It’s a touching tribute that’s equal parts chic and sentimental. And while we’re pretty sure Liam is up there approving of this design, one thing’s for sure: Kate’s angel wings are giving us all something to talk about.
Fly high, Liam, and kudos to Kate for making the most heavenly fashion statement of 2024.
