She's All That
CLEO Malaysia|October 2017

Model, actress, influencer and... Intellectual? Meet the flipside of Emily Ratajkowski that you’ll never see on her Insta feed.

She's All That

Fourteen million, and counting. That ’s the following of the girl who can have it all . Emily Ratajkowski, or EmRata as she’s more affectionately known to her millions, is so much more than a part in a movie or baring it all in a fashion campaign. Born in London and raised in California, EmRata was discovered at the tender age of fourteen. While one of her first few roles were in the General-rated Nickelodeon’s iCarly, she really broke onto the scene with her debut in Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’. With parts in big screen hits like Gone Girl and Entourage, this 26-year-old has made her mark in modeling and rubbing shoulders with celebs and It Girls.

Know this: Apart from that topless selfie with KimK (she took a picture with Kim in a bathroom mirror with both of them holding their middle fingers up), it seems EmRata is so much more than meets the eye. With acting, modeling and breaking the Internet with her bod in her repertoire, she is surprisingly grounded, humble and multi-talented. Just ask her intellectual mum and painter dad.

With editorials baring more and more (she has posed fully nude, you know right?) and an Insta feed that dishes up selfies and even more skin, you’ll discover this It Girl is actually an artist , and loves to draw, paint, read and write. Beauty with brains they call it. Meet the complete package.

From your career, you are the girl to die for. And at this point in time, I am sure this is not something to worry about, but sometimes do you question it?

Well I don’t even perceive myself that way. I feel that there’s much more to me and so many things that I would like to explore. As an actress, it doesn’t sort of worry me, partly because I don’t consider it.

At what point did you decide that your beauty could be a weapon to achieve stardom, or it just happened that way?
