The Model Reflects On Dream Victoria's Secret Debut, Calls It 'Surreal'

Before setting the runway ablaze, Ratajkowski opened up about her first-ever Victoria's Secret campaign and the experience left her in awe. Speaking with PopSugar, the mother-of-one shared how unbelievable it felt to be featured alongside the supermodels she admired growing up. In her words:
"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."
Ratajkowski also praised Victoria's Secret's new focus on inclusion and strength, saying she is proud to be part of the brand's evolution. "I think the casting is unique and represents such a beautiful range of strong women," she added.
As for fashion's current obsession with lingerie as outerwear, Ratajkowski sees it as a win for women. "I'm happy to see that we are moving toward a less judgmental attitude toward women and the way they want to dress," she said.
Emily Ratajkowski's Fresh Start Comes Amid Finalized Divorce

Ratajkowski is officially stepping into a new chapter both on the runway and in her personal life. The Blast reported that the 34-year-old's stunning debut at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show came months after her divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard was finalized, closing a long and messy chapter.
The former couple tied the knot in 2018 but called it quits in 2022 after allegations of infidelity surfaced. Court filings from the Manhattan Supreme Court indicate that the split was legally finalized on July 22, accompanied by a child support order submitted under sealed terms.
While the paperwork had been in motion since late 2024, corrections delayed the official judgment until now.
Here's to seeing Emily Ratajkowski continue to own every runway she steps on.
