Emily Ratajkowski Blasts Body-Shamer For Telling Her To “Put On A Shirt” During Walk

Emily Ratajkowski isn’t concerned about being demure.

The model and author recently shared a clip of a stranger criticizing her fashion choices while she was walking down the street. 

In the video, Emily filmed herself in “selfie mode” and showed her outfit: a tight-fitting gray tank top with black low-rise jeans. 

A few seconds into the clip, a male voice can be heard telling her, “Girl, put on a shirt.”

Highlights
  • Emily Ratajkowski shared a video of a stranger telling her to "put on a shirt" while she walked down a New York City street.
  • The model remained unfazed by the remark and continued her walk.
  • Emily captioned the video "Famously not demure, famously not mindful," a nod to the "Very demure" social media trend.

The London-born star seemed unfazed by the remark and continued walking down the street. She then edited the video of the encounter, adding Charli XCX’s hit song 365 from the British singer’s latest album, Brat.

Emily captioned the video, “Famously not demure, famously not mindful,” referencing the “Very demure, very mindful” social media trend. The catchphrase was popularized by TikToker Jools Lebron, aka @joolieannie, who posted a series of videos about how to look “demure” at the office.

“See how I do my makeup for work? Very demure, very mindful,” Jools said in the viral video.

In contrast, the brat summer aesthetic is defined by its edgy, Y2K-inspired fashion. It can be “quite luxury” but also “trashy. Just, like, a pack of cigs, and, like, a Bic lighter, and, like, a strappy white top. With no bra. That’s, like, kind of all you need,” as explained by Charli XCX.

“You’re that girl who is a bit messy and loves to party and maybe says dumb things sometimes. She’s honest, blunt and a little bit volatile. That’s Brat,” the singer added in a TikTok interview.

In her collection of essays titled My Body, Emily acknowledges her sex symbol status and discusses how her beauty has impacted her career.

“There are so many things and so much power to be gained from becoming a model or woman who uses her sexuality and image to succeed,” the 33-year-old told USA Today.

The model shot to instant fame, aged 21, when she appeared naked in Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines video.

“I was fully into ‘choice’ feminism; that it’s feminist to be nude purely because it’s my choice,” she admitted to Harper’s Bazaar in 2021 about her decision to dance naked in the music video.

“I don’t really believe that now. I’m more interested in the power women can have by either really engaging with their sexuality or completely avoiding it. Because I do feel like every woman is sort of on the same scale, trying to figure out where and how they want to find that balance.”

Her outfit is pretty basic, nothing worth commenting over. NGL, I'm a little suspicious that she just happened to start filming herself randomly walking across a road, just as some random guy just happens to randomly decide to tell her to put on a shirt. I'm not saying that this doesn't happen, because I know it does, but the whole clip comes across as a bit staged to me.

Nailed it. She sure has no problem flaunting herself online where she'll get worse comments towards her.

For the future Pandas here who will say that "nobody cares about celebrities" and that "these articles are cr*p, please don't. It's not about a celebrity, it's about the right not to be bothered or s**t-shamed. No woman deserve that, even if she's wearing a g-string, a short dress or a crop-top. And yet, even if a woman has an Only Fan or is a striper, she still don't deserve to be shamed for that. No one deserve to be s**t-shamed, ever.

Wrong wrong wrong. This is simply about BP giving publicity to someone who wants publicity. I neither know nor care who she is, nor what did our did not actually take place, but 99% of these are just pathetic, albeit successful, attempts to garner web clicks.

I don't see the big deal here. She's not exposing herself, ffs. She looks like she's just going to/coming from, the gym. It's summer, so she's not going to be putting a sweatshirt, hoodie, or jacket on over her workout clothes. Suppose she was jogging in bike pants and a sports bra---something I have jogged and cycled in myself on especially hot days? Would the idiot who heckled her tell her the same thing? Would he have told a shirtless man to put on a shirt? I think not, because he probably would've gotten his a*s whooped. Out in public like that, just keep your opinions to yourself, or at least practice discretion. The rest of the world doesn't want to hear it. You're not as important as you think you are.
