Emily Ratajkowski Proves Three Trends Are Better Than One
Nobody’s street style looks are as varied as those of Emily Ratajkowski, whose grungy, eclectic off-duty outfits are as dynamic as her red carpet appearances. Her latest ensemble cemented that keen eye for pieces with punch while mixing not one, not two, but three trend movements at once.
While on the book tour for close friend Lena Dunham’s new memoir, Famesick, Ratajkowski stepped out in Philadelphia in a leopard-print coat. The button-up piece, which she’s worn on multiple occasions, featured a collared silhouette with a pony-hair texture. While nodding to the nonchalance of ’90s dressing, the style also brought a burst of pattern to her black silk slipdress and simple brown leather shoulder bag, two more hallmark styles of the decade.
The ’90s weren’t the only fashion trend at play in Ratajkwoski’s ensemble, however. Tory Burch’s new seashell drop earrings added an eclectic touch to the model’s attire with their swirling dark amber and white pattern. Her jewelry instantly nodded to the 2020s trend of breezy coastal dressing, which featured oceanic details, woven textures, and any range of accents nodding to aquatic elements like coral, fish, and water.
A surprising twist came from Ratajkowski’s black leather Western-style boots, which featured pointed toes and curved shafts akin to traditional cowboy footwear. Though their angled high heels would likely be out of place on horseback, the style fully embraced the Western boot trend that emerged in 2022 and has only grown from 2025’s boho-fashion resurgence. Outside of the trend cycle, the shoes have become a seasonal staple across various colors and heights, from brands like Ganni, Paris Texas, Tecovas, and Gabriela Hearst as well. A pair of Courrèges sunglasses smoothly finished Ratajkowski’s outfit, providing a shield from both paparazzi and the early spring sunshine.
Trend mixing isn’t a new concept, but Ratajkowski is a master of the craft. This latest look reminds us that her It girl fashion status is an earned one, and rightfully so, with her individualistic outfits incorporating trends from “tomato girl summer” to “office siren” dressing and more over the years. With summer just around the corner, there’s plenty of eye-catching ensembles for us to look forward to from this street-style savant.
