for sure there's been many, many famous guitarists using strats over recent years but none so intrinsically linked with one so sonically and visually (obv. pre Les Paul , Pensa Suhr , dobro etc...).
Edit: Sorry I see you said last player. SRV, Frusciante, Mayer etc are good candidates.
Stevie Ray Vaughan came to prominence after that, so...
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
"You don't know what you've got till the whole thing's gone. The days are dark and the road is long."
For me though, John Frusciante is the player I think of when I think about strats
But Hendrix is unquestionably the most iconic Strat player as well as guitar player.

He has got a Fender strap on it, though!
This.
Obvs Clapton’s solo stuff & his black Strat is iconic (maybe more so than Knopfler from level of fame/visibility), but I imagine most people think of him with an acoustic. That’s my bias showing, though. I remember the singles from unplugged as a teenager,
More modern: Weezer, early Green Day, Kurt Cobain at Reading, Biffy Clyro, the dude from Khruangbin literally only owns the one Mexican Strat, Michael Kiwanuka was a Strat guy for the first few albums.
