Emily Ratajkowski Wore A Bra As A Shirt & Served Major Underboob

October 11, 2024

Following in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Florence Pugh, Camila Cabello, and Jennifer Lopez, Emily Ratajkowski is the latest big name to hop on the bra top trend. While stepping out in New York City on Oct. 27, the model served a laid-back, office-chic look with an NSFW twist.

EmRata’s Saucy Take On Workwear

While most models serve their looks on the red carpet or runway, Ratajkowski most often flaunts her style on the busy streets of NYC. On her most recent romp, she nailed the smart-casual aesthetic in a grey bra top and matching pleated skirt — a saucy take on the professional skirt suit.

Olivia Rodrigo fans might recognize the spicy Sandy Liang co-ord, which she wore to perform at the 2023 VMAs. Rodrigo, however, opted for a cherry red iteration of the look.

Ratajkowski’s leather bomber completed her casual take on professional attire. EJ Briones, Bustle Digital Group’s Executive Fashion Market Editor, says the jacket perfectly “balances out the overt sexiness” of her look with a bit of “added toughness.”

NSFW Work Attire: “This take on the professional skirt suit is bound to get calls from HR. But if you really want to wear this to the office, I suggest pairing the look with a white button-down.” — Briones

Proving The “Wrong Shoe Theory” Right

One might expect EmRata’s suit-inspired set to be worn with polished loafers or ballet flats. However, adhering to the viral “wrong shoe theory” favored by Kendall Jenner, she opted for a pair of black Puma Palermos.

For those unfamiliar with the fashion philosophy: The theory claims that by intentionally selecting footwear that contradicts your overall look, the outfit will look more “personal, interesting, and styled.” This is all according to TikToker and wardrobe stylist Allison Bornstein.

The It Girl Bag Of 2023

To match her bomber, EmRata toted one of the buzziest bags of the year: the Miu Miu Wander ($2,850), also in black leather.

The must-have accessory has become a celebrity fashion staple as of late and has been clutched by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Sydney Sweeney, Gigi Hadid, and Hailey Bieber (photos here).

This is all to say: Ratajkowski has got taste.
