Emily Ratajkowski posts SHOCKING fully nude photo while enjoying summer getaway
Emily Ratajkowski posed for a fully nude snap in her latest Instagram post on Thursday as she enjoyed a lavish summer getaway. The supermodel, 34 - who recently risked a wardrobe malfunction in a very daring swimsuit - shared a carousel of photos that had been taken throughout this month and were captioned with 'luglio' which means July in Italian. In one image, the former Nickelodeon actress could be seen soaking up the sun as she relaxed on a lounge chair outside. However, Ratajkowski opted to ditch clothing and instead simply donned a red cap on top of her brunette locks to protect her eyes from the bright sunshine. She turned her head to gaze towards the camera and also held her smartphone in her hand so her arms could rest on top of her chest. It is not the first the media personality has made the bold move and notably posed for a nude bathroom selfie last year. Ratajkowski seemingly whisked herself away to Italy - and was joined by close pals as well as her son Sly, four. She shares the little one with ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. Another picture showed the beauty sporting a skimpy green bikini top with a plunging neckline on the front. Her hair was parted in the middle and naturally flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. Ratajkowski flashed her toned midriff during a stroll in a bustling city as she donned a cropped top as well as black shorts in the hot weather. She carried a purse over her right shoulder and completed the casual look with a pair of fashionable black shades. The Gone Girl actress snapped another selfie as she sat underneath a shady area while donning a plunging black swimsuit while a towel was wrapped on top of her head. During the trip, both Ratajkowski and her son had the chance to spend quality time together - and in one snap, the pair posed in their swimwear. They stood next to a tree on a dirt path with the model wearing a pair of mini yellow bottoms and a patterned bikini top. She added a red button up on top and slipped into a pair of white flats. The Gone Girl actress snapped another selfie as she sat underneath a shady area while donning a plunging black swimsuit while a towel was wrapped on top of her head Another image was taken as Ratajkowski paused next to a vintage red car outside what appeared to be a scenic hotel. She also showcased her airport style as both she and her son Sly waited to board their plane. The beauty opted for a strapless white tube top as well as a pair of low-waisted, brown trousers. Her son had a blast during the vacation and was filmed dancing as a man sang an Italian song at a restaurant. Ratajkowski also gave her followers a glimpse at some of the stylish outfits she wore last week in NYC while promoting her latest Netflix series titled Too Much. Lastly, the star shared snaps that revealed some of the tasty meals she was able to indulge in on the trip. She also showed off the swimming pool that was located at the hotel and filmed another clip while enjoying a drive in Italy. Over the past weekend, Ratajkowski turned up the heat while showcasing her figure in a skimpy black swimsuit that had a deep plunging neckline on the front that fell down towards her lower midriff. Ratajkowski also gave her followers a glimpse at some of the stylish outfits she wore last week in NYC while promoting her latest Netflix series titled Too Much She modeled the head-turning look while spending time inside a luxurious villa near the Adriatic Sea which borders the eastern side of Italy. Ratajkowski has had a busy summer thus far, and recently promoted her new Netflix show Too Much, which was released on the streaming site on July 10. In the series - which was created by Lena Dunham and her husband Luis Felber - the star portrays the character of Wendy Jones. The My Body author wowed in an assortment of ensembles while stopping by talk shows in the Big Apple - including a vibrant blue snakeskin minidress from Gucci. She also dished on 'decentering' men as she stopped by the Today show while talking to hosts Jenna Bush Hager and guest co-host Willie Geist. At one point, Ratajkowski was questioned if it was true that she has been 'deprioritizing' men in her life. 'Well, the kids say decentering,' she lightly joked, and elaborated to the Today hosts that it was true. 'I am a single mom and I just really, I think as I've gotten older I started to really value community with other women particularly. And that's definitely a priority for me.' She added, 'I think it's one of the best parts about living in New York as I get to meet so many amazing women and queer people. And yeah, I really value community these days.' Following her split from her husband, Emily seemingly came out as bisexual in October 2022 after posting a TikTok clip. The following month, she expressed to Harper's Bazaar: 'I think sexuality is on a sliding scale. I don't really believe in straight people.' Ratajkowski later said, 'I want to be able to have fun with how I present myself in the world without feeling like I'm a bad feminist or a good feminist. Duh. I don't want to be a part of your club if you don't want to have me. It's fine!' Also last week, it was revealed that her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson is expecting his first child with model girlfriend Elsie Hewitt.

Emily Ratajkowski Braves 90-Degree Temperatures in This Controversial Pants Trend
The Gist Emily Ratajkowski wore polarizing capri pants with a form-fitting blazer that featured gem buttons. She swapped her blazer for a graphic tee, and later had a full outfit change in a crisp-white suit. The model appeared on the Today show to discuss her role in the new Netflix series Too Ratajkowski's latest ensemble is not too little, not too much, but just the right amount of summer fashion inspiration. Her outfit formula is quite simple but packs a lot of pizazz, including a polarizing pants style. The model, author, and star of Lena Duham's new show Too Much was out and about in New York City today, where she braved 90-degree temperatures in a noteworthy look. Ratajkowski stunned in an intriguing black blazer top that featured a scoop neckline, fitted bodice, long flared hem, and gemstone buttons in beautiful bright red, green, and blue hues. Her pants were equally as interesting, as she opted for love-them-or-hate-them capris in an inky-black shade. EmRata kept her accents simple, opting for black open-toe, crocodile-embossed mule heels; dark oversize shades; and large diamond stud earrings. As for beauty, the actress wore her medium-length, chestnut-colored locks down and straight with a middle part. She glammed up with bronzy makeup, complete with sun-kissed cheeks, a nude lip, winged eyeliner, a subtle smoky eye, and defined eyebrows. Ratajkowski had a quick outfit change, where she revived the celebrity graphic T-shirt with a white-and-blue baseball tee that had "I'm a speed skater" emblazoned across the front. Just hours before, she did a sartorial 180 in a monochromatic white outfit. Then, the mom-of-one wore a crisp suit, composed of a long jacket with tortoise-shell buttons and tailored pants. She kept her sunglasses and footwear consistent. Ratajkowski appeared on the Today show to discuss the hit Netflix series, in which she plays Wendy, an influencer who is being Instagram-stalked by her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. The 34-year-old also touched on her own life, specifically how she is "de-centering" men. "I am a single mom and I just really, as I've gotten older, started to value community with other women particularly," she said. "That's definitely a priority for me. I think it's one of the best parts about living in New York is I get to meet so many amazing women and queen people." Read the original article on InStyle

Emily Ratajkowski endorses Zohran Mamdani in New York mayoral race
Emily Ratajkowski, model and activist, added her voice to the growing list of celebrity supporters backing Zohran Mamdani's bid for New York City mayor. On Tuesday, Ratajkowski posted a video on social media, wearing a "Hot Girls for Zohran" T-shirt while standing in front of Mamdani. In the video, she urged young voters to make their voices heard, emphasizing the importance of their votes in this election. 'This election is gonna be decided by young voters,' Ratajkowski stated, pointing out that New Yorkers' average age is 38. 'The last mayoral race was decided by just 7,000 voters. Your vote really matters.' Mamdani, a 33-year-old New York State assemblymember, has seen his popularity rise significantly thanks to a strong social media campaign and endorsements from prominent progressives like Letitia James, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and Jamaal Bowman. In recent polling, Mamdani is showing strong momentum, even surpassing former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in a June 23 ranked-choice voting simulation. Mamdani, who advocates for progressive policies such as a citywide rent freeze, increased corporate taxes, and a free public bus system, has been the target of smear campaigns, particularly from Cuomo's camp, which has spent millions on anti-Mamdani ads. Despite these attacks, Mamdani remains firm in his stance against antisemitism, strongly refuting the accusations aimed at him. With polls closing at 9 p.m. tonight, Mamdani's celebrity-backed campaign appears to be gaining widespread support among young New Yorkers.

'I Have Zero Straight Men In My Life': Emily Ratajkowski Enters Her Free Era
Photographs by Morgan Maher, Styling by Natasha Wray Emily Ratajkowski might be your favourite woman's favourite woman. You just know a night out with her would be a blast. She can toggle from Joan Didion and political discourse to reality TV and TikTok memes, high fashion and handbags – you're going to have a good time. Indeed, women are at the centre of Ratajowski's universe right now. 'Not centring men is really wonderful,' she tells me. 'In general, in our world, men have somehow filed this space, but what I found instead of it is community.' The 34-year-old model, actor and author of the bestselling essay collection My Body – is sitting in front of a beautifully curated bookshelf in the New York apartment she shares with her four-year-old son Sly. On her T-shirt is an R Crumb illustration of a hairy, naked woman with large breasts doing a handstand. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE 'I still like men,' she adds. 'I just have zero straight men in my life, unless they're a romantic interest. In the hierarchy of needs, that's at the top of the pyramid, which is nice. [Men are] pleasure and fun, but not a part of my core. The rest of my life is community with other women and queer people, and being a mom.' Having dinner and drinks with these women – one of them being the model and actor Adwoa Aboah – is among her favourite things to do. 'It's so fun to talk sh*t with my friends,' she says, laughing. The pair are going on holiday together this summer and, yes, 'it'll be brat' (Charli xcx is another good friend). Morgan Maher Emily Ratajkowski wears top, £1,100 and shorts, £1,980, both PRADA Aboah and Ratajkowski also appear in this summer's most- anticipated TV show, Lena Dunham's new Netflix series Too Much .Ratajkowski plays Wendy, the model/influencer rebound girlfriend of the lead's ex-boyfriend. It's the first series Dunham has writtenand directed since the iconic Girls ended in 2017, and stars Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe as made-for-each-other lovers navigating the various pressures of their thirties. The hilarious script, brilliant performances from a cast that includes Andrew Rannels, Richard E Grant and Naomi Watts and Dunham's zeitgeisty grip on the neuroses of a generation are sure to make it a huge summer hit. 'Lena leans in to some of the more 'feminine' ways of directing – over communication, consideration of everyone on set. Instead of being this domineering presence, her power lies in grace and in the ability to make everyone feel comfortable,' explains Ratajkowski, who has been friends with Dunham for more than a decade. They met when Ratajkowski first shot to fame after appearing in a Robin Thicke music video, which she later described as a pretty horrific experience: 'I didn't have any real power as the naked girl dancing around,' she wrote in the essay 'Blurred Lines', which was part of her book. 'I was nothing more than the hired mannequin.' Dunham, she tells me, was a welcoming and understanding ally, 'when no one really was, to be honest'. They went on to share drafts of their books and give each other notes. Now, 'it's a really beautiful friendship'. Dunham wrote the part especially for her friend, so Ratajkowski really couldn't turn it down, which is something she often does these days. 'I don't agree to a lot of offers,' she says. It's because she's busy writing and parenting. But also, she adds: 'I really value control. In my twenties, I didn't have a lot of it in my career. Now, I like making things and I like not being an addition to them. With Lena, I got to shape the character so much, which was really fun. It gave me a bigger role than just an actor for hire.' Morgan Maher Top, £1,380, and shorts, £1,010, both PRADA The show resonated for Ratajkowski as it explores the tension between the growing confidence and perennial sense of WTF that is so prevalent in one's thirties. 'I'm fascinated with this decade of my life,' she tells me. 'My mom had me at 39, and I remember she always romanticised her thirties as a time of self-exploration and power as a woman. I'm in the midst of it and really feel that way too.' We discuss how, in your twenties, you might think, 'Yeah, I want this', but have no concept of time, because you haven't lived enough. But now, being 34, she can remember what 24 was like. 'I know exactly what 10 years feels like, and what consequences are.' Now, she says, she understands how she can shape the next period. 'You can't control everything, but you can move towards something to give yourself the life you want, which really excites me, because when I think about 34 to 44, I'm like, 'Oh man, there's so much opportunity.' I can be so much more intentional than I was in my twenties and there won't be, like, accidents.' Morgan Maher Dress, £4,300, PRADA Ratajkowski might be a successful polymath today (starring in films such as Gone Girl , being the face of Marc Jacobs' new handbags and writing feminist polemics), but when she was younger she was 'ashamed of being a jack of all trades, and really wanted to be the person who was really excellent at one thing'. Her parents were intellectuals, and after they moved from London, where she was born, to California, she recalls her artist father having a studio that was as big as their house, and her mother, a writer and professor, creating an entire reading curriculum for her from the age of five. 'I don't think my parents ever pushed me in a certain direction. We're not religious people, so what we talked about was our stories, and politics. My dad would bring his paintings in when he was done, and we'd look at them and discuss them. And I was included in that.' Morgan Maher Hat, £1,100, PRADA. Earrings, Ratajkowski's own Talking to me about her own son, whom she had with her former husband, the producer Sebastian Bear-McClard, she says all she wants is for him to be good at critical thinking. 'I don't have any idea what he should do with his life. I think it's great when you're interested in making things and working with creative people. I want to give him that gift, but if he decides that there's something that's more fulfilling to him, that's wonderful.' It's incredible to think that Ratajkowski was only 10 years older than her son is now when she was scouted and signed to Ford Models. Her parents were supportive, eventually, enjoying the financial security and the glamour it offered, but they were no doubt thrilled their only daughter later pivoted into acting and, later, writing. She's at a good point with her writing, she says, a year and a half on from 'being in the misery of it'. After dropping Sly off at school, if she doesn't have a car picking her up to take her to a shoot, she'll return home to write and edit all day. Morgan Maher Cardigan, £1,610, and shorts, £690, both PRADA 'I used to be somebody who would write in bed and on my phone – basically anything to make it seem as if I wasn't feeling pressure. Now, I actually really enjoy the ritual of sitting down and being like, 'We're getting to work.'' Writing is, she tells me, what's getting her through this moment in American politics. 'I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about [writing], so it definitely provides a welcome distraction and focus. I hate when people, celebrities specifically, are like, 'I'm just really just focusing on my own life right now.' It's what we all do to survive [the sense that you have no control over nightmarish global politics] but, listen, the world could end tomorrow. It is important to really enjoy your life and take care of the people that you're close to.' She relates heavily to a recent piece in The New Yorker by Jia Tolentino titled 'My Brain Finally Broke'. (Ratajkowski admits she is 'chronically online', and if there's a viral long-form feature, you can bet she's read it.) In the article, Tolentino explains that 'much of what we see now is fake, and the reality we face is full of horrors. More and more of the world is slipping beyond my comprehension'. 'I'm so overwhelmed by the state of the world,' Ratajkowski says. 'It's really hard. I used to feel slightly ashamed by that. But I think there's something important in just being like, 'I'm not really totally sure what to do.'' Morgan Maher She says that 'every year I've become more and more left-wing, which is great because I think that in college there's this idea that you're going to become more conservative as you get older. But between Joe Biden and now Trump, I just feel more connected to [the left]. Basically, there's no confusion for me.' She describes the last four years of American politics as 'being asleep at the wheel'. 'With Biden,' she says, 'people were like, 'He's left-wing enough and he's not crazy. He looks like what a president should look like.' He said the right things, and I think that a lot of people backed off being politically engaged. Now, we're in a state of shock in the US, because just the first hundred days [of the Trump administration] have been this unbelievable news cycle.' She points to the demonisation of transgender people and says: 'I can't believe what's happening when it comes to trans people in this country. It's terrifying. I have friends who are parents of trans kids, and they're thinking about Canada, they're thinking about moving. I have friends who've travelled internationally and been questioned, and have had their IDs changed. I don't care about gender, other than as a personal expression. So it's really hard for me to understand this thinking and the desire to control people. But the personal is political.' Morgan Maher Jacket, £2,650, trousers, £1,150, and bag, £4,150, all PRADA So, for Ratajkowski, is fashion. She becomes visibly animated, perhaps more so than she has been throughout the entire call, leaning towards the camera, her eyes darting mischievously. 'It's a little bit of a walk to my son's school now, so I can't wear heeled shoes,' she tells me. 'But, when I was in the city, we lived two blocks from his preschool, and I would often just leave for work from there. At that point I was hosting my filmed podcast, so I would be in an outfit.' How did that go down with the other parents, I wonder. 'Oh, I was definitely dressed up compared to them. I think that's actually one of the ways I really enjoy being subversive with motherhood. There's so much around what a mom should look like.' Morgan Maher Shirt, £1,610, PRADA She believes that people who are really concerned with how they come off as a parent maybe aren't always necessarily focused enough on how they actually are. 'I know what kind of mom I am, and I only deeply care about my son's reaction to that. Anybody else who has opinions about me as a mother because of the way I dress – it's just so inconsequential.' I picture Ratajkowski dropping her son off at preschool this morning, wearing a fabulously explicit piece of art on her T-shirt, before tossing her beautiful hair over her shoulders, checking her phone, filming some hot takes and then heading home to write a feminist critique. 'I don't know, maybe it's getting older. Maybe it's motherhood, but it just is what it is,' she says, shrugging. And does she care about what other people think, I ask. 'No,' she answers.

Emily Ratajkowski is over 'centering men' who don't serve a purpose
Emily Ratajkowski is taking hot girl summer literally. In a new interview with Elle UK, the model and actress told the publication that the men in her life must serve a specific purpose – or she's ready to show them the door. "Not centering men is really wonderful," she said in the article, published June 18. "In general, in our world, men have somehow filled this space, but what I found instead of it is community." "I still like men," she offered as a caveat, but added that her desire for friendship with straight men has dwindled. "I just have zero straight men in my life, unless they're a romantic interest. In the hierarchy of needs, that's at the top of the pyramid, which is nice," Ratajkowski, 34, told the magazine. While men may be good for "pleasure and fun," they're "not a part of my core" community, she explained. "The rest of my life is community with other women and queer people, and being a mom," she said. Ratajkowski shares one son, Sly, 3, with ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. 'Hot girl summer,' move aside. Women are going 'boysober' and have never felt better. Now an author, the model has spent recent years sharpening her feminist voice and becoming an outspoken advocate for women's rights. Her 2021 essay collection "My Body" explored themes of female empowerment, owning your own sexuality and the exploitative tilt of the entertainment and fashion industries. Her comments echo a wider sentiment circulating in some circles online of a freedom found in "decentering" men. In line with the "boysober" trend of last summer, which saw women renouncing sex and romantic relationships for the sake of clearheadedness and empowerment, Ratajkowski's sentiments match a growing movement to throw out the boy craziness of yesteryear and dig deeper into female relationships.
