Emily Ratajkowski Brings Shimmering Gucci Drama to the Clooneys’ Albies in London
Emily Ratajkowski and Gucci have shared some memorable fashion moments this year. Back in Milan, the model walked the runway for Demna’s debut as the house’s creative director, wearing a shimmering silver bodycon mini dress from the Fall 2026 collection with crystal-encrusted pumps.
That partnership was on full display again this week in London. Gucci served as the Sentinel Sponsor and exclusive fashion partner for one of the city’s most prestigious charity events, making it the perfect stage for another standout look.
Ratajkowski attended the 2026 Albies on October 9 at London’s Natural History Museum, the annual ceremony hosted by the Clooney Foundation for Justice. She turned heads in a sheer black Gucci gown that quickly became one of the evening’s talked-about looks.
The floor-length dress featured long sleeves, a high neckline, and a fitted silhouette that hugged her frame. Its shimmering pattern caught the light against the event’s dark, draped backdrop, while floral detailing across the bodice added texture.
The gown finished with a subtle train that trailed behind her on the carpet. It was a sleek, dramatic choice that balanced coverage and transparency in classic Ratajkowski fashion. She kept the rest of her styling relatively simple. Ratajkowski wore her long brunette hair loose with a precise middle part, letting it fall past her shoulders.

Her makeup followed the same less-is-more approach. A smoky eye paired with a nude lip kept the attention firmly on the dress, creating a moody, polished finish. The look continued a year of bold, sheer styles for the model. Ratajkowski has repeatedly embraced daring, transparent pieces on the red carpet, and this Gucci gown added another striking entry to that list.
Beyond the fashion, the Albies carry a serious purpose. Established in 2022 by George and Amal Clooney, the awards are named after Justice Albie Sachs, a hero of South Africa’s anti-apartheid movement who survived imprisonment, exile, and an assassination attempt.
Now in its fifth year, the ceremony honors people who pursue justice at great personal risk. This year’s honorees included Kyrgyz journalists Bolot Temirov and Makhabat Tazhibek Kyzy, Malawian girls’ rights advocate Vanessa Mwangala, American photojournalist Lynsey Addario, Congolese organization Justice Plus and Microsoft’s Brad Smith.
Ratajkowski was in good company on the carpet. Amal Clooney arrived in a gold sequined Gucci gown with a fringed skirt, while George Clooney wore a classic Gucci tuxedo.
Other guests included Felicity Jones, Laura Dern, Isla Fisher, Anna Wintour and Poppy Delevingne. Josh Hartnett and Tamsin Egerton also made a rare joint appearance, coordinating in sleek all-black looks.
Alongside Gucci, the event was supported by sponsors Charlotte Tilbury and Microsoft. With so many high-profile names in attendance, the Albies once again blended Hollywood glamour with a meaningful mission.
For Ratajkowski, the night marked yet another bold fashion statement in a year full of them. Her shimmering black gown proved that sometimes the simplest silhouette can make the biggest impact.
