Emily Ratajkowski has been juggling Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks while also sharing rare moments with her 4-year-old son, Sly, in front of the Eiffel Tower.

In early March 2026, the 32-year-old model showed off bold designer pieces and gave followers an intimate look at motherhood. She hit multiple major fashion events, proving she's moved well beyond modeling into something bigger.

Parisian Charm and Mother-Son Moments

While in Paris for the city's prestigious Fashion Week, Ratajkowski carved out time for sweet bonding with her son, Sly. On Thursday, March 5, she shared an endearing video on Instagram of Sly, born March 8, 2021, taking in the iconic Eiffel Tower as it lit up.

Sly, who turned four this month, looked grown-up with his long blonde hair cascading down his back. The video showed him sprawled on his stomach, stretching towards a window to get a better view of the landmark. He wore comfortable baby-blue sweatpants and a mustard-yellow crewneck, a casual contrast to his mother's glamorous schedule. The video struck a chord with followers who rarely see this side of celebrity life.

Ratajkowski shares Sly with her ex-husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard. The couple welcomed their son in 2021 before splitting in July 2022 after four years of marriage. They co-parent Sly, a setup that's become more visible in Hollywood and reflects how modern families actually work.

Beyond her maternal moments, Ratajkowski made significant fashion statements in the French capital. On March 4, she attended Courrèges' fall/winter 2026 show in a strikingly bold black bodysuit. The square-neck one-piece featured a thong design, a completely open back, and large cutouts running down both sides of her body. She paired this with a low-rise black pencil skirt, black heels, a sleek shoulder bag, and chunky sunglasses. Her brown hair was styled down and sleek with a middle part, complemented by bronzy makeup. It's classic Courrèges—futuristic, bold, and unapologetic about the body.

Just a day earlier, the Gone Girl actress experienced a minor wardrobe malfunction at the Christian Dior show. She wore a white silk halter top with oversized ties on each side. One tie came loose upon her arrival, but she quickly retied it before continuing to pose for photos. She paired it with all-black pieces—tailored trousers, leather clutch, square-toe shoes, rectangle shades—and handled the wardrobe slip like a pro.

Gucci Glamour and Bold Statements in Milan

Before her Parisian engagements, Ratajkowski made headlines during Milan Fashion Week in late February 2026. She walked the runway for Gucci, showcasing a bedazzled bodycon minidress from Demna’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection. Demna's Gucci aesthetic—mixing history with modern edge—found the perfect model in Ratajkowski. She owned the runway in the sparkly minidress, embodying the collection's focus on glamour and sex appeal.

Following her catwalk appearance, Ratajkowski kept the momentum going with a series of equally impactful street style moments that cemented her status as a trendsetter. One notable ensemble saw her embracing a sophisticated yet edgy aesthetic, pairing a vintage leather trench coat with sleek tailored trousers and statement boots, a look that quickly circulated on social media and fashion blogs. That's what keeps her relevant—she can pull off both haute couture and street style that her followers actually want to copy.

Beyond the Runway: A Multi-Hyphenate Persona

Her European trip is basically a masterclass in her whole career strategy: mixing work, motherhood, and personal brand into one package. She's not just a model anymore—she wrote 'My Body,' launched her swimwear line Inamorata, and speaks out on feminism and body image. It's the new reality in fashion: models have to be entrepreneurs, activists, and personalities all rolled into one.

She swings between intellectual aesthetics and overtly sexy runway moments—and that duality is part of her appeal. That range lets her reach everyone—fashion obsessives and people who actually read her writing. She pulls off the rare trick of being both a fashion provocateur and a serious thinker without looking fake.

Fashion insiders cite her as the template for the modern supermodel: someone who uses Instagram, side hustles, and personality to break out of modeling's old box. She's a force because she dominates both the runway and the business side of fashion.ntemporary culture, far beyond the fleeting trends of any single fashion season.

Her consistent presence across these major fashion weeks and campaigns highlights her enduring status as a versatile and influential figure in both high fashion and popular culture, continually redefining what it means to be a modern icon.
