Emily Ratajkowski isn’t one to shy away from a statement outfit, which I admire about her. She’s constantly pushing boundaries and rocking bold choices, even regarding accessories. That’s what makes her such a fashion icon.
After a whirlwind trip to Paris Fashion Week, the 33-year-old American model is back in NYC and settling back into her routine, which includes strolling the city in fabulous outfits.

For me, there’s nothing more inspiring than seeing how celebrities put together chic looks for everyday life, and Emily is a master at that. And one thing you can always count on with Emily? Amazing shoes! She has a knack for picking footwear that elevates any outfit.
Here’s a look at three of her recent street-style outings that catch my eye: shoes and all.
Effortless Summer Style with Low-Rise Pants and Oversized Button-Down Shirt
Early on a Thursday morning, June 27, to be exact, Emily Ratajkowski was spotted taking her usual walk through NYC. This time, her outfit took a nostalgic turn, putting a fresh spin on a classic summer staple from years gone by.
The vibe of the photos screamed “casual New York walk,” and I love how her outfit perfectly matched that energy. It feels effortless and cool, ideal for a stroll through the city streets.

Her outfit consisted of a breezy white, oversized linen button-down shirt. I love how she styled it with the sleeves casually rolled up to her elbows – it added a laid-back charm.
The New York Times best-selling author left the shirt unbuttoned for a peek-a-boo moment that undeniably caught my eye. It revealed a brown bralette peeking through, showcasing her toned abs.
Emily’s a big fan of making lingerie (and bikinis, for that matter) work double-duty as daywear, so this wasn’t entirely unexpected. But hey, if you’ve got it, flaunt it, right?

She paired the daring top with slouchy parachute pants to beat the early morning heat. I love how the dark green cargo pants sat low on her hips with a stretchy waistband, ballooning into wide legs that ended right at the ankle.
Elevating Her Street Style with Chunky Axel Arigato Sandals
What truly elevates this look for me is Emily Ratajkowski’s choice of footwear. I love it when celebrities thoughtfully touch every element of their outfits, and she delivered here. The shoes themselves deserve a closer look!
With the effortless “on-the-go” vibe, Emily chose a pair of black chunky Axel Arigato Delta Eva sandals. These sandals blend Scandinavian and Japanese minimalism; they’re made from bio-based EVA material. The puffy silhouette creates a playful, almost inflated look that feels perfect for summer.
These shoes might bring back some middle school flashbacks for some people, but they’ve come a long way from their poolside origins. The platform sole adds a touch of sophistication, effortlessly elevating Emily’s off-duty look.

Classic flip-flops inspire the design but with a significant upgrade. The simple toe thong gets a trendy update with an oversized silhouette, while the rounded platform base and puffy straps add a touch of luxury.
They even come in various colors, from vibrant pinks and greens to oranges, but Emily’s choice of all-black shade offered a sleek and chic touch. The sandals could have been the show’s star, but Emily never goes for a one-note look.
Emily Blunt is another Emily who’s a fan of the Swedish label Axel Arigato. She has worn the brand’s bird-embroidered sneakers and white Clean 90 Triple sneakers.
To add some extra sparkle, Sebastian Bear-McClard’s ex-wife sported her signature large gold Jennifer Fisher Jewelry Baby Samira hoop earrings and a matching ring – a touch of bling that always complements her outfits.
Oversized black sunglasses completed the look, adding a touch of mystery and keeping the focus on the overall vibe.
Emily went for a natural, no-makeup makeup look with nude lips, letting her gorgeous brunette hair flow down in loose waves with a middle part.
Exudes Parisian Chic in Dad Pants and Classic Converse Sneakers
Tuesday, June 26, marked another day, another impeccably styled EmRata street-style moment. This time, Emily Ratajkowski brought a touch of Parisian chic to the streets of New York City.
The foundation of the look was a simple yet undeniably chic cropped white muscle tee. It showcased her toned abs perfectly, and I love how it conveyed a sense of effortless coolness.

She went for a baggy silhouette on the bottom to balance the fitted top. She paired the tee with off-white Levi’s Dad Utility pants.
These pants were a perfect example of the “athleisure” trend done right. The mid-rise and straight-leg cut offered a relaxed fit, with the contrast stitching infusing a subtle striped pattern that I find interesting.
Sticking the neutral color palette, the “My Body” author chose footwear that complemented her top and pants. The classic white Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star Core high-top sneakers completed the look.

I love how Converse always manages to evoke a sense of nostalgia. The beauty of Converse is that the design hasn’t changed much since its inception, and that’s the point. They’re timeless classics that never go out of style.
For a touch of glam, Emily accessorized with her signature gold hoop earrings. A pair of yellow-rimmed Miu Miu oval-frame sunglasses with a logo plaque offered a touch of personality and shielded her eyes. For her essentials, she opted for a practical camel-colored shoulder bag.

Keeping the effortless vibe, the mom-of-one sported a minimal makeup look with nude lips and let her brunette hair cascade down her shoulders.
Channels Her Inner Dancer with Ballet Trainers
Emily Ratajkowski knows how to turn even the most ordinary outing into a fashion moment, and her dog walk on Friday, June 14, was no exception. Walking her pup Colombo through the streets of NYC, she offered a masterclass in off-duty style.
The look is effortlessly cool – the perfect balance between casual and chic. She started with a classic black cropped tank top that showcased her toned abs and peek-a-booed her matching black bra straps. It was a simple piece, but it set the tone for the entire outfit.

To balance the top, Emily opted for a relaxed silhouette on the bottom. Light blue denim shorts with a frayed hem and a slightly baggy fit offered a laid-back vibe, while the mid-rise cut kept things flattering. The knee-grazing length was perfect for a summer stroll.
What truly catches my eye is her choice of footwear. Instead of the usual sneakers or sandals, Emily chose a pair of black Canvas shoes from London-based brand Foundry Mews. These weren’t your average everyday shoes – they were a unique blend of fashion and function that I love.
The shoes boasted a ballet-style pump silhouette with a modern twist. Multiple crisscross straps and a pronounced arch gave them a slight dance shoe feel for an unexpected flair to her outfit.
And let’s not forget about the details – made-to-order with mesh and cloth uppers featuring contrasting white stitching, they sat on sturdy rubber soles that provided a practical, non-slip base.

These shoes were the perfect way to elevate an otherwise casual look. They balanced the sporty vibe of the shorts with a touch of femininity, making them an excellent choice for an afternoon walk.
Of course, Emily didn’t stop there when it came to accessorizing. Oversized silver hoop earrings infused a touch of drama, while black wraparound sunglasses shielded her eyes.

For her beauty look, she went natural. A bare face allowed her to showcase her flawless features, and her long, brown hair pulled back in a black claw clip completed the effortless vibe.
