Emily Ratajkowski Wore Black Lingerie and a See-Through Dress for a Met Gala After-Party

Emily Ratajkowski wore beading and not much else on the Met Gala red carpet Monday night. Then, for the after-parties, she changed into a black lingerie set and another very sheer dress, this time an archival Alexander McQueen for Givenchy piece. The minidress included purple fringe detailing and more gorgeous beading. The model kept her updo from the Met ball and finished her look off with very dramatic, black wrap heels.

Ratajkowski was on co-hosting duty, throwing the Après Met 2 Met Gala party with Paloma Elsesser, Raul Lopez, Carlos Nazario, Francesco Risso, and Renell Medrano yesterday.

Ratajkowski wore archival Versace on the Met Gala red carpet. She told Emma Chamberlain that the dress is “kind of all about the back, which is like non-existent.” She added, “I’m very naked, but what else is new?” She called the look “fun” and noted that it felt “great,” adding that the Versace outfit is very “party in the back—this is all business [in the front].”

Ratajkowski spoke to ELLE last March about how she learned to stop caring about how the public perceives her.

“Control is a huge theme in my life,” she began. She said that when her debut essay collection, My Body, came out in 2021, “I was like, please God, let the world give a shit about my brain. I felt very timid. I was careful not to wear or post anything sexy.”

Her breaking point was sparked in part by a review of her book that “talked more about an Instagram post than the writing.” The reviewer “was describing the way that I had a lollipop near my mouth [in a modeling shoot]. I was like, This feels the same as slut-shaming. ‘But her skirt was so short. How dare she say these things?’ And it liberated me because I was like: Okay, well, I just don’t give a shit.”

“I felt like I was constantly negotiating things in a way that was making me very meek,” she said. “I’ve stopped caring so much, which is, funny enough, an act of taking control. I’ve accepted what I can and can’t control, and found joy in things that I can.”
