Emily Ratajkowski is getting into the Halloween spirit, channeling her inner villainous vixen. The model and author took a jaunt in an outfit befitting an anti-heroine like Meredith Blake in The Parent Trap or Kathryn Merteuil in Cruel Intentions—who are sexy, dramatic, and just a touch sinister.
Her base outfit was simple: a black top and a black leather miniskirt over a pair of ultra-sheer tights. But it was her outerwear that was truly spectacular, in all of its campy glory. Ratajkowski opted for a black leather trench coat with a black fur collar and matching cuffs, which she coordinated with her knee-high boots, also rimmed in a thick black fur. And no look is complete without a pair of impenetrably dark sunglasses. In an outfit like that, we can definitely imagine her trying to thwart some bratty 11-year-old twins or plotting the downfall of a goody-two-shoes Reese Witherspoon.
Had the outfit been worn by a movie villain, it would instantly be entered into the femme fatale canon. But EmRata is proving that these outrageous outfits can be worn in our real lives, allowing us to live out our archetypal fantasies. By subverting the stereotype of the gold-digging trophy wife, and wearing whatever she wants all on her own, she’s creating a new rulebook for what a divorcée looks like.
