Emily Ratajkowski: Here’s how she feels about her controversial dress today

Controversial celebrity looks are not uncommon on the red carpet, and neither is Emily Ratajkowski was already shown in a dress that was dubbed as such. Six years later, the model reflects on what fashion designer and mentor Tim Gunn called the dress “appallingly vulgar” – which she still thinks made her “look amazing” in it. Here you can find out everything about her statement and why she is now sharing disapproving messages on TikTok.

Emily Ratajkowski wore her most revealing outfit of 2016, and these are the details

In 2016, Emily Ratajkowski wore a controversial look at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons Party that still seems to be an issue today. Her black, sequined dress had cut-outs that reached her navel, giving the impression that she was wearing a low-slung skirt held up by two thick straps. Almost ’90s-esque, Emily Ratajkowski’s glittery gown by designer Julien Macdonald would likely be extremely relevant and hot on the red carpet in 2022. After the event, it was criticized by Project Runway mentor Tim Gun during an appearance on the Fashion Police talk show: “If I saw this at a party, all I could do was drink. I couldn’t eat. Absolutely no way. This dress is so appallingly vulgar and revealing. Why wear anything at all? Why not just take everything off?”

This is how Emily Ratajkowski reacted to the criticism six years later

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Emily Ratajkowski reflects on the controversial look and the reactions to it: “(It’s) probably the most controversial dress I’ve ever worn. Someone called it ‘extremely vulgar’ and it became a huge controversy on the internet. I was in my 20’s and just didn’t realize it was so sexy because it was under the cut out There’s a nude mesh panel, but it looks like there isn’t one. Basically, I was scolded for wanting attention, which I find interesting because basically you go to red carpets to get attention.” And she’s right, because when we look at the red carpet looks of the stars from the past few years, they always want one thing: to attract attention and polarize with extravagant combinations.

Emily Ratajkowski is now sharing empowering messages on TikTok

Emily Ratajkowski is no stranger to being criticized — especially for what men consider attention-seeking behavior. It only reinforces her desire to live an unfiltered life: “Women who put themselves at the center always face misogyny,” she explains in an interview with the magazine Variety, “That’s what drives people crazy when they accuse a woman of seeking attention. I personally know that very well. So yeah, I get a lot of hate. But as it says on TikTok: ‘The girls that get it, get it. And the girls that don’t, don’t’. That’s my motto these days.” And it is precisely with this self-confident attitude that Emily Ratajkowski speaks on her TikTok account with her 1.8 million followers about topics such as “the fetishization of female pain” in the new Marilyn Monroe film “Blonde” on Netflix or about her anti-sexist perspective on the Adam Levine cheating scandal.
