She forewent a swimsuit, however, and appeared solely in body paint.
The issue doesn’t usually lie in what she’s worn, but rather what she hasn’t worn.
Where there’s an abundance of public nudity, scandal will follow.
(Looking at you Kanye West women Bianca Censori andJulia Fox, who consistently miss the fashion mark.)
Get ready for some skin because these are Emily Ratajkowski’s most scandalous outfits of all time.
Fashion guru Tim Gunn called the look extremely vulgar on an ensuing episode of E!
’s “Fashion Police” and the internet attacked (viaInStyle).
On apicof the dress on her Instagram, one user commented, “It is vulgar and classless.
I am sure the same would be said for a male guest showing up in a thong.
But she sure got the attention she was seeking.”
Nonetheless, she defended it and asserted that she looked great.
(She even capitalized on her bikini bod, starting a swimwear line, Inamorata, in 2017.)
But do the two necessarily mix?
Yes, according to the model.
No, according to some members of the public.
Users didn’t miss the irony.
We agree that it leaves a weird taste in our mouths.
But some argue, based on her scandalous outfits, that she shouldn’t be.
For the 2024 gala, with the theme Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, Ratajkowski appropriately chose vintage Versace.
What wasn’t so appropriate, at least to some, was the sheerness of her look.
“Life & Stylecriticized the model for always choosing sheer looks.
This is a fair assessment, as her 2019 Peter Dundas gown also proves.
Her Jacquemus dress was hardly prim, however.
The sexuality of the dress didn’t end there.
It had molded-on nipples.
Ratajkowski didn’t rely on her own nips for this occasion the dress had them sculpted on already.
But the molding didn’t match the shape of the model’s breasts, making it appear even stranger.
The public panned her dress, as did critics.Wonderwallcalled the look “bizarre.”
Hers, however, didn’t have a dramatic side-boob exposure or fake nipples.
The"My Body"author certainly wasn’t the first to rock the look, however.
Brooke Shields and Madonna wore it in the ’80s, as did singing sensation Jody Watley in the ’90s.
And it became one of the model’s oft-replicated looks.
Above, she wore a sports-bra look in 2016, years before it hit the mainstream.
