Emily Ratajkowski receives heavy criticism for ‘fatphobic’ photoshoot
Emily Ratajkowski has been criticized by her fans for a photoshoot that many are calling “fatphobic.” In the photoshoot for Le Monde magazine, Ratajkowski is seen wearing oversized jeans with the waistband pushed out to accentuate her figure. The image caused an uproar when she posted a version on Instagram, with many fans criticizing the British-born model. “Designers don’t do plus sizes unless it’s a photo where a thin person can be quirky,” one commenter noted. Other fans labeled the photo “so tasteless and disgusting” and even called her a hypocrite. Fans called out hypocrisy when the model wrote a book called “My Body” in which she discusses her experiences with body image issues.

Don’t rain on Emily Ratajkowski’s summer.
The model and author, who was criticized for her choice of top during a recent outing, responded to the fashion criticism on social media on Tuesday.
Ratajkowski shared a video of the encounter in which she is seen walking down the street in a tight-fitting gray tank top and black low-waisted jeans. A few seconds into the clip, a male voice can be heard reprimanding Ratajkowski: “Girl, put a shirt on.”
The High Low with EmRata host apparently didn’t personally respond to the viewer’s criticism, as she continued her walk unfazed. However, Ratajkowski edited the video to include a clip of Charli XCX’s cheeky club smash “365,” from the British pop star’s latest album, Brat.

“Notoriously unassuming, notoriously unmindful,” Ratajkowski captioned the post, referring to the “lowkey” trend on TikTok. The catchphrase emphasizes an attitude that is sweet, clean and mindful, including modest fashion choices.
In contrast, the Brat Summer aesthetic includes bold, colorful, and sometimes provocative styles, often inspired by Generation Z’s revival of Y2K fashion.
According to Charli, summer essentials for brats can be “luxe or cheesy.” There are no specific rules for clothing, because being a brat is all about showing your individuality. But if there was a dress code, there would probably be a lot of Von Dutch trucker hats, baby t-shirts, and “white tank tops” paired with denim pants or miniskirts.
In her 2021 book, “My Body,” Ratajkowski reflects on her experiences with female sexuality in the entertainment industry. In an interview with USA TODAY, the 33-year-old said she is proud of the success and empowerment she has achieved by making a living selling her image – on her own terms.

“There is so much value and so much power that can be gained by becoming a model or being a woman who uses her sexuality and her image to be successful,” Ratajkowski said.
