How Emily Ratajkowski is Redefining Motherhood Through Bold Fashion Choices
Emily Ratajkowski isn’t your typical mom — she’s a trendy mom.
The 34-year-old model shared insights about how becoming a mother has influenced her fashion choices during a conversation with Elle, featured in a profile published on Thursday, June 19.
Ratajkowski, who has a 3-year-old son named Sylvester with her ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, admitted that her style only shifted slightly after his arrival. “It’s a bit of a walk to my son’s school now, so I can’t wear heels,” she explained, highlighting that while living in New York City, her apartment was merely “two blocks” from his preschool, allowing her to confidently show up in glamorous outfits for drop-offs and pick-ups.
“I often left for work directly from there,” she mentioned. “During that time, I was hosting my filmed podcast, so I was always dressed.”
While Ratajkowski acknowledged that her “dressed up” outfits set her apart from other parents, it never fazed her.
“I think that’s actually one of the ways I really enjoy being subversive with motherhood,” she stated. “There’s a lot of pressure on how a mom should look.”

The Gone Girl actress confidently rocks sultry outfits, even while spending time with Sylvester.
In April, she posted an endearing photo of herself and Sylvester enjoying a cozy moment at a restaurant, both smiling brightly. Ratajkowski was seen going topless under a blazer, showcasing her cleavage while holding her son on her lap. In another frame, she planted a kiss on his cheek.
Ratajkowski even took Sylvester to his inaugural fashion show in September 2024. For the Loewe presentation, she looked stunning in a partially unbuttoned plaid top paired with a black leather skirt featuring a drop-waist and flowing pleats.
She carried Sylvester into the event, dressing him in a gray oversized T-shirt with the brand’s logo and wine-red trousers.
