Emily Ratajkowski is opening up about her style evolution in the wake of motherhood.
Ratajkowski, 34, recounted her school pick-up style in a new interview with ELLE published Wednesday, June 18.
“It’s a little bit of a walk to my son’s school now, so I can’t wear heeled shoes,” she told the outlet. “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.”
The model then revealed that she enjoys breaking from the norms of dress in parenthood. “Oh, I was definitely dressed up compared to them,” she explained. “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.”
In the accompanying editorial fashion shoot, Ratajkowski wore red leather Prada shorts paired with a white floral blouse, also by Prada. She posed in a two-piece tan and black striped set, which included a short-sleeve collared button-down knit top and matching knit micro shorts, also by Prada.
On the cover, the model is seen lounging in the grass in a floral collared 1960s-inspired Prada dress as she holds a small purple flower by her face.
The My Body author shares son Sylvester Apollo Bear, who was born on March 8, 2021, with ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. As for her dating life, Ratajkowski told ELLE, “Not centering men is really wonderful. In general, in our world, men have somehow filed this space, but what I found instead of it is community.”

She elaborated, “I still like men. 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.”
