Emily Ratajkowski Then & Now: Photos of the Model Through the Years

Emily Ratajkowski is a multi-hyphenate! See photos of the model’s most memorable moments over the years here.

Emily Ratajkowski is one of the most famous runway queens in showbiz right now. At just 14 years old, Emily signed to Ford Models. Her career reached new heights after she appeared in Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” music video in 2013. Since then, she has appeared in multiple fashion shows, and has also appeared in movies, such as Gone Girl and I Feel Pretty.

These days, Emily continues to balance modeling, acting, writing, and producing. Among her latest projects is an untitled Apple TV+ series from A24 that she is developing alongside Lena Dunham and author Stephanie Danler. Speaking to Beyond Noise in October 2025, Emily shared that Lena told her writing a television series is “like a long-term marriage.”

“We have a pilot, that’s what I’m working on right now,” Emily said. “Honestly, I was really happy when the announcement went out. You put so much of your heart and soul into it, and what’s so terrifying about this process is that there’s a world where it just [doesn’t happen]. The state of TV — it’s a stressful time. People are pretty confused between AI, the strikes, streaming. It’s a really insane, high-risk situation, and that doesn’t necessarily bode well for the creative process.”

To celebrate her for the multi-hyphenate that she is, we’ve rounded up Emily’s best photos over the years in our gallery below.
