Emily Ratajkowski Opens Up About ‘Subversive’ Dressing as a Mum
Emily Ratajkowski discusses her unique approach to motherhood and fashion in a recent ELLE UK interview. She embraces a ‘subversive’ style while rejecting societal norms about what mothers should wear. Amidst her candid remarks about personal struggles during her marriage, Emily illustrates a triumphant embrace of her true self as a mother and individual.
Emily Ratajkowski, the model known for shaking up societal norms, is making waves again, but this time as a mum. In a recent chat with ELLE UK, she shared her refreshing take on how she dresses while dropping her son Sylvester Apollo Bear off at school. Let’s just say her style is a far cry from the typical ‘Bridget Jones’ vibe.
“It’s a little bit of a walk to my son’s school now, so I can’t wear heeled shoes,” EmRata admitted. She revealed that when she lived closer to his preschool, her routine was a bit more glamorous, often rushing off to work straight from school in a stylish get-up. Can you imagine?
When prompted about how her fashion differs from other parents, she confidently declared, “Oh, I was definitely dressed up compared to them.” She relishes being what she calls ‘subversive’ in her approach to motherhood. She’s not one to conform to the clichés about what a mum should wear. “I know what kind of mom I am, and I only deeply care about my son’s reaction to that,” she stated quite emphatically. It seems like those outside opinions are of little concern to her.
As for her breezy attitude towards judgment? She attributed it to either age or motherhood, jokingly shrugging it off. “I don’t know, maybe it’s getting older. Maybe it’s motherhood, but it just is what it is,” she said. And then came the kicker, “No, I don’t think I do,” when asked if she cares about how others perceive her. Cheers to that mindset!
Emily shares ‘Sly’ with her ex-husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard. They were married for a hot second in 2018 before calling it quits in 2022. In a candid moment on a 2023 podcast, she opened up about her struggles during that time. “I didn’t have the courage to leave for a long time. I was really, really unhappy. I was, like, 100 pounds and I had just had a baby,” she admitted. Now that’s a real look into her life, showing that even supermodels have their battles.
