Emily Ratajkowski is stripping things back, literally and figuratively, for the latest issue of Beyond Noise magazine.
For her latest provocative photo shoot, the 34-year-old model posed completely nude, before slipping into various racy looks that left little to the imagination.
On the cover, she perched on a stool wearing only a plush fur coat, draped loosely around her body.
Inside, she pushed the envelope further – donning just a Gucci horsebit belt around her waist ($2,450) with her hands covering her chest to preserve her modesty.
Other images feature her rocking see-through bodysuits and barely-there bra tops.
Ratajkowski also shared one of the striking shots to her Instagram, where she appeared completely nude, sitting in profile with her knees tucked to her chest.

The My Body author has long navigated the tension between empowerment and objectification, using her platform to question how women are seen and who controls that narrative.
‘Emily Ratajkowski is one of the most famous women alive. She’s famous in the old-fashioned sense—a single photo of her can stop the planet spinning,’ Beyond Noise captioned the photos of her on Instagram. ‘Looking good, or at least feeling good about how you look, is often a real step toward getting what you want. Emily gets this—she also gets that it’s complicated.’
Beyond the lens, Ratajkowski is gearing up for her next major project: an untitled A24 series for Apple TV+ that she’ll write, produce and star in.
The show is said to examine identity, creativity, and modern motherhood – themes drawn from her own life as both a public figure and single mom.
The interview sees Ratajkowski in conversation with a longtime friend and fellow filmmaker, Rachel Anne Sennott, discussing everything from the challenges of the writer’s room to balancing artistry with corporate expectation.
Ratajkowski’s editorial spread comes just weeks after she made her Victoria’s Secret show debut earlier this month.
In a 2023 interview with Popsugar, the model and actress spoke about some of the icons who had inspired her early in her career.
‘I grew up looking at images of Gisele, Candace, Naomi, and Adriana, so it’s simply surreal to be included in a campaign next to them,’ she said after landing her first Victoria’s Secret campaign.

‘Those women were larger than life to me — they still are in many ways — and that’s what it means to be iconic. Their beauty and the images they’ve produced with incredible photographers and designers and teams were and are so artful,’ she added. ‘They represent so much.’
In addition to Emily, the show featured several former Victoria’s Secret Angels, including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, Candice Swanepoel, Behati Prinsloo, Lily Aldridge, Taylor Hill, Stella Maxwell, Barbara Palvin and Grace Elizabeth.
Other returning models included Gigi Hadid, her sister Bella, Joan Smalls, Irina Shayk, Ashley Graham, Anok Yai, Alex Consani, Paloma Elsesser and Yasmin Wijnaldum.
There were also newcomers to the runway show, including WNBA star Angel Reese, influencer Quenlin Blackwell, nepo baby Iris Law, plus-size model Yumi Nu, model Daiane Sodre, actress Barbie Ferreira and plus-size model Precious Lee.
For decades, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was one of the most coveted runway events in fashion.
It kicked off in 1995 and immediately attracted immense buzz, with some of the biggest models on the globe walking in the fashion show.

By 2001 it was being broadcasted live on television, and each year, millions tuned in to watch the stunning models strut their stuff and the A-list performers dazzle on stage.
But in 2019, after more than two decades of it reigning supreme, the annual show was canceled amidst immense criticism over the brand’s lack of diversity when it comes to body types before then-chief marketing officer Ed Razek’s eyebrow-raising comments about trans and plus-sized models.
Last year, the Angels returned to the catwalk after a six year hiatus with a more diverse roster including plus-size and transgender models.
The latest runway show comes weeks after Victoria’s Secret’s new CEO announced plans to return to its ‘unapologetically sexy’ branding as it moves away from its woke rebrand.

The lingerie company is embracing its bombshell roots after years of struggling sales and a tepid response to its diverse catwalk last year.
CEO Hillary Super, 53, who took on the role in September 2024, admitted her predecessors had allowed the brand to become ‘watered down’.
‘At the time I took over, Victoria’s Secret was regarded as inappropriate and off-color and we had to correct those mistakes,’ former CEO Martin Waters told the Wall Street Journal.
The company toned down its provocative branding after a a 2020 New York Times article reported that many employees and models faced a slew of misogyny and harassment.
At the time, the brand was under the leadership of Leslie Wexner and Ed Razek.
Super, however, said many decisions were made ‘out of fear’ after the company moved away from their sexualized branding and more toward comfort following a wave of backlash.
The brand’s seductive lingerie was replaced with products with more coverage and plain designs, as well as a heavier focus on athleisure wear and comfortable pajamas.
