Emily Ratajkowski Sizzles in Throwback Black Dress That Leaves Almost Nothing to the Imagination
Emily Ratajkowski turned up the heat on Instagram this week, taking fans back to her 2016 fashion era. The 34-year-old model and author shared a series of throwback photos, giving a peek at her life almost a decade ago. One picture immediately caught attention: Emily wearing a black sequined dress that left very little to the imagination.
The gown was bold and daring. It had sheer panels, a deep plunging neckline, and cutouts on the sides that showed off her toned figure. She finished the look with smoky eye makeup and her hair in loose waves, perfectly capturing the mid-2010s vibe. According to her Instagram post, the look was from New York Fashion Week in 2016, a year that marked a big rise in her career.
Fans quickly flooded the comments with admiration. One wrote, “I have say only this … for me one of the most beautiful woman on this planet. I like you.” Another gushed, “Good Lord Emily! You are, and always have been, smoking hot!” At the time of writing, the post has already racked up more than 583,400 likes.

Emily Ratajkowski first became a household name in 2013 after appearing in Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams’ music video Blurred Lines. The video went viral, putting her on the global map almost overnight. She didn’t stop there, moving into acting to show she could do more than modeling.
Her breakout movie role came in 2014 with Gone Girl, directed by David Fincher. She played Andie Fitzgerald, the mistress of Ben Affleck’s character. Critics praised her for holding her own alongside stars like Rosamund Pike. She later appeared in We Are Your Friends with Zac Efron and took on a comedic role in I Feel Pretty with Amy Schumer.
In recent years, Emily has shifted focus toward writing and her business ventures. Her essay collection My Body became a New York Times bestseller. In it, she discussed the objectification of women, body politics, and her personal experiences in the modeling world. She also launched a podcast called High Low with EmRata, where she talks about pop culture, politics, and philosophy with friends and guest stars.
Emily is also a devoted mother to her son, Sylvester Apollo Bear, whom she shares with ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. Since their divorce, she has balanced parenting with running her swimwear and apparel brand, Inamorata. The company promotes body confidence and empowers women to feel comfortable in their skin.
Her 2016 fashion throwback shows that even years later, Emily Ratajkowski continues to turn heads and set trends. Fans can see both her evolution in style and her growth as a public figure beyond just being a model.
