Emily Ratajkowski's Best Summer Street Style Looks

Emily Ratajkowski takes model-off-duty style to the next level. Sure, we're frequently dazzled by her red carpet and runway looks, but there's something about the way this woman puts together a casual outfit that is unmatched (no shade, Ms. Hadid. We love your 'fits too). Whether she's wearing a slip dress or baggy Y2K-inspired denim, this A-lister maintains a level of casual coolness that's to be admired.

That's not to say that Ratajkowski dresses like she doesn't care. The separates in her casual 'fits definitely look high-end. It's her styling choices that deliver the so-cool-it's-hot air of being undone and unbothered, even when swarmed by paparazzi on the sidewalk.

We've clearly studied EmRata's casual outfits enough to be considered academically enthused, if not full-on experts, and we're convinced that no one does this particular brand of summer style better. Judge for yourself after you scroll through Emily Ratajkowski's best street style looks.

The MBD

Shop Similar: Hill House The Lace Anjuli Nap Dress, $225.
Everyone loves a little black dress — an LBD, if you're nasty — but Ratajkowski made a case for MBDs, a.k.a. the midi black dress, while visiting Paris for Haute Couture Fashion Week. The lacy high-low hemline on this dress has all the appeal of a short dress, but manages to feel a bit more sophisticated.

Quietly Luxe Athleisure

If you would have told us we would one day see a pair of khaki pants and think, "those are hella sexy," we would have found a new fashion friend. And yet, here we are. Ratajkowski completed the look with a ribbed cropped white tank and classic low-rise checkerboard Vans.

A Casual Silky Midi Moment

Shop Similar: L'Academie Connor Skirt, $178.
One of the most captivating elements of Emrata's street style is her ability to take an almost formal piece and make it effortlessly cool. Case in point: this silky midi skirt, which she paired with a grey cami and sneakers.

Fun Pants

Of course, EmRata knows that less is more when wearing party pants. Her brightly striped pants are the centerpiece of the look and her simple white tube top lets them sing.

A Sporty Mini

Shop Similar: Alo Yoga Seamless Ribbed Warm Nights Dress, $88.
We don't know why a curve-hugging minidress and a pair of blindingly white sneakers look so good together, but Ratajkowski proves that this combo is a surefire slay.

Y2K Pop Vibes

Shop Similar: PrettyLittleThing Foldover Waistband Wide Leg Jeans, $38 (Originally $62).
The fold-over style of EmRata's baggy jeans adds a modern edge to this decidedly throwback fit. Without this detail, the halter top and baggy bottoms combo would look right at home in a music video from Christina Aguilera's self-titled album. Not that we're complaining — this street style look is definitely "What a Girl Wants."

Pajama Party

Celebs in slip dresses aren't a moment, they're a movement. EmRata kept her version of the look casual with a pair of mid-calf black cowboy boots, a brown baguette shoulder bag, a simple chain necklace, and her signature sunnies.

A Saucy Maxi Skirt

Shop Similar: Friends and Lovers Helena Maxi Skirt, $102.
We've already established that maxi skirts, denim or otherwise, are anything but dowdy, but Ratajkowski's leather maxi look sends the point home. The 'fit, worn by the A-lister at Milan Fashion Week, rivaled the ensembles she wore on the runway.

NYC's Knit Girl

Shop Similar: Kendor Long Sleeve Midi Dress, $63.
We're living for the off-the-shoulder silhouette of EmRata's sheer, long-sleeve maxi dress. Dress it up with a pair of chunky platform sandals or keep it cool girl casual with a pair of loafers or sneakers.

High-Neck Newsprint

EmRata loves a halter moment and she makes this Carrie Bradshaw-esque printed high-neck halter dress look breezy AF — even when styled with the celebrity-loved midi-dress and knee-high boots trend.

Sheer Separates

Shop Similar: BAUM UND PFERDGARTEN Sena Skirt, $84.
One thing Ratajkowski always nails is the balance between casual and sultry. This crop tank and midi skirt combo is a great example. Her looped statement necklace and knee-high cowboy boots are the perfect trendy finishing touches.

Pants on Fire

Shop Similar: Sézane Luiz Pants in Coral, $175.
Meet Business Emily. This combination of pleated, high-waisted trousers, gold heels, and crisp white shirt isn't one we'd have thought to try ourselves, but now that we've seen it, we literally can't get it out of our heads.

Foodie Fashion

While this fruit-forward blouse doesn't quite meet tomato girl standards, we adore its playful, fruit-forward pattern. Combined with black trousers that just barely puddle at the hem, and you've got a look that's elevated, but effortless.

Chainlink Luxury

Shop Similar: ANINE BING Carrie Pant, $249 (Originally $350).
Leave it to EmRate to find a sexy way to rock a turtleneck. She pairs her cropped version with chain-printed pants and strappy sandals for a look that would be right at home at The White Lotus in Sicily.

Color War Cutouts

We've seen cutout dresses a million times, but the one Ratajkowski wore to Gigi Hadid's birthday party last April takes the cake. The orange, blue, and black maxi is from Loewe's Pre-Fall 2022 collection and we love the brightness of its colorblocking and asymmetrical slashed details.
