Emily Ratajkowski just reminded us of the sexier side of cottagecore.
On Instagram today, the model shared a series of pics from her recent trip to France, where she stands in a field of lavender flowers while applying her sultry, effortless street style to the popular trend. Instead of a classic prairie dress, she chose a blue-and-white two-piece gingham set, comprised of a cropped puff-sleeve top with a smocked bodice and short shorts with a draped panel creating a skort effect at the front. In one pic, the star poses with her hand raised above her head, revealing the bottom of her sheer black bra peeking out from under the blouse.
Her only accessories were thin gold hoop earrings and a pair of tortoise-shell sunglasses, which she held in her hand. Her dark-brown hair was styled in loose waves, and she paired her fresh-faced complexion with a glossy nude lip.
The My Body author recently visited Paris to join the star-studded crowd at the Jacquemus spring/summer 2024 menswear show held at the iconic Château de Versailles. For the occasion, she dressed in a sexy balletcore ensemble, comprised of a structured bra top with sheer floral-print sleeves and a miniskirt with a drawstring, sweatpants-like waist attached to a crisp white ballerina tutu at the bottom. She finished the look with white square-toe Mary Jane heels with little bows at the front, and a micro bag in shiny silver, adding a pop of color to the look with a bright red lip.
