Did Emily Ratajkowski just make “adhesive thongs” a thing in her “naked pants” look? More Pictures below…

Emily Ratajkowski is in her Hollywood bag. After starring in Lena Dunham’s Netflix comedy series Too Much, Deadline announced that she’s making her screenwriting debut for a new Apple TV+ project, which she’ll also be producing and starring in. How’s that for a multi-hyphenate? Though she’s clearly preoccupied with expanding her entertainment skillset, her biggest role is still as a fashion maven and provocateur. Lest people forget, Ratajkowski dropped a spicy reminder on main.

Emily’s Wraparound Top

On Sunday, Aug. 24, Ratajkowski shared snaps from what looked like a photo shoot’s set, where she posed against a white wall. The blank backdrop was the perfect canvas for her all-black number to truly pop.

She wore a sleeveless wraparound top with a wide, décolletage-forward V-neckline. It featured criss-cross straps about two inches wide that wrapped around her torso and back, before looping a final time around her waist. To secure it in place, it was tied in a loose knot with the ends dangling casually. The wraparound detail lent itself to several cutouts along the midriff — for even more bare skin real estate. Oh, and the top was crafted in leather, giving it an edgy, Catwoman-esque vibe.

That… An Adhesive Thong?

Believe it or not, her bottoms were about three notches spicier. Instead of a regular waistband, it featured a teeny garterized band that dipped from the sides of her waist into her crotch area, just under the navel. To keep the pants in place, it also featured two skinny criss-cross straps around her waist reminiscent of lingerie garter belts.

And the pants? Cropped semi-capris with a notch on each hem. While that sounds… kinda normal, they were also completely sheer. They featured a semblance of “built-in underwear,” which was really just an extra layer of fabric.

Since the coverage was virtually nonexistent, Ratajkowski had to resort to what looks like a beige “adhesive thong.” If you haven’t seen one, it’s essentially a pantyliner made out of sticky fabric.

She completed the look with pointed-toe Mary Jane slingbacks in the same inky shade.

Naturally, her beauty matched her outfit’s risqué vibe. Her hair was blown out in voluminous curls — even her bangs were curled with a poofy, exaggerated side part. Meanwhile, her eyes were painted an intense smoky brown, while her lips were glossed.

She’s a fashion girlie through and through.

Before the Cannes Film Festival sent out a no-naked memo early this year, Bella Hadid made headlines at the famed fête in 2024 wearing what’s since been dubbed the “pantyhose dress.” Like the hosiery it’s named after, the Saint Laurent number resembled the humble stocking due to its ultra-sheer, nip-peering fabrication. Hadid loved the look so much, she later recreated it on a magazine cover. Only this time, it looked like actual black tights. Instead of pulling it up to one’s waist, however, the “waistband” was pulled so high up past her chest for a strapless moment.

Apparently, Hadid wasn’t the only one who loved the look — Kim Kardashian is also a fan. And what Kim wants, Kim wears.

Kim’s Naked “Mob Wife” Look

If you’ve always wondered what the ultra-rich do in the comforts of their private jets, Kardashian generously gave a peek via a photo dump on Monday, Aug. 18. Apparently, on her aircraft, the activity du jour is skincare. Kim, her sister Khloe Kardashian, and her friend La La Anthony all rocked the controversial SKIMS Sculpt Face Wrap, which supposedly contours the face and neck. But while the face bandage is attention-grabbing, what caught my eye was the ‘fit.

Channeling luxury, Kardashian wore an indulgent brown fur coat befitting the “mob wife” aesthetic. (It’s on brand — she helped popularize the look, after all.)

What was underneath, however, was the pièce de résistance. She wore the same “pantyhose catsuit” from Hadid’s magazine cover, but in a mocha hue. It featured the same faux waistband across her chest and the “YSL” logo in sparkly rhinestones on each calf.

And yes, if you were wondering, she also styled it sans any underwear.

She accessorized the look with black sunglasses and a matching croc-skin Hermès Birkin.

Bella’s Version

Last September, Hadid debuted a version of the see-through design on the cover of Self Service Magazine. While Kardashian’s was in a latte shade, Hadid’s was an intense black. Both head-turning looks were pulled from the same Saint Laurent collection, namely Anthony Vaccarello’s Fall/Winter 2024 runway.

Kim Kardashian is best known for being a reality TV legend, business mogul, and fashion icon, but she’s also an expert vacation planner. For the latest Kardashian family excursion, she jetted off to a luxe resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, bringing along quite the entourage.
