When she’s not walking the runway for Versace at Milan Fashion Week, appearing on the covers of magazines around the world, attending Cannes Film Festivalor bestselling author, Emily Ratajkowski simply trying to sort out life as a new mom in New York City. 30 year old supermodel gave birth to a son Sylvester in March 2021 and she’s the first to admit that motherhood has changed everything, especially her fashion priorities.
“Well, now I would love to get him dressed,” Ratajkowski told POPSUGAR. “I basically feel like a baby stylist. And most of the time, depending on the nap and whatever, I won’t have a lot of time to dress myself, that’s it. it’s okay. That usually means I’m kind of throwing looks at each other.”
A true one street style star As someone who is always caught by the paparazzi, Ratajkowski has been more flexible in thinking and strategizing her look before becoming a mother. She will spend her time trying on different outfits before heading out the door.
“I don’t have that kind of room to play the way I used to,” she said. “But that being said, I’ve learned to find a balance with that. And especially now that it’s getting warmer, I say, ‘Okay, I feel like I should try. unites me as it binds him. together.'”
Ratajkowski’s outing formula is all about comfort and practicality. “Sneakers for sure, and I’ll make a pair of leggings,” she said, adding that she’s particularly fond of flared pants at the moment. “They make me feel a little cooler, like a little cooler,” she shares, laughing. “And then sometimes I’ll just borrow an oversized coat from my husband and wear a sweater.”
Ratajkowski’s latest collaboration with Italian footwear brand Superga couldn’t have been a more perfect fit with her current approach to fashion. She wore their sneakers for the first time while walking her dog in New York City.
“I really like them and am a fan of the brand, so when they do relate to each other, it feels really natural that we are going to do something together,” she said. “I also love Italy and have worked with a lot of Italian brands, so I like that aspect as well.”
As a brand ambassador, she wanted to create her own twist on two of Superga’s most recognizable styles, choosing to customize the Superga 2750 and the Alpina. Ratajkowski likes the contrast of those two styles: One is a bit more classic, and the other is a bit more fashionable. She kept the customizations minimal (like the off-white laces and round laces) to create a pair of “really simple, great” sneakers.
“I mean, I like to wear sneakers with a dress, especially when it’s getting warmer in New York,” she says. “It’s the most comfortable yet chic look you can go for. Other accessories, like what you do with bags and jewelry-wise, can dress it up. A larger bag will make it look great. it’s more casual, but if you’re doing something small and sexy, it can be great for the night.”
While #momlife has certainly changed Ratajkowski’s personal style, she is still known for incorporating countless 90’s fashion trends in her wardrobe. Before that, she’ll open up about her favorites and how she’ll expertly style each.
