Emily Ratajkowski is back in beach goddess mode; this time turning heads in a barely-there neon printed bikini by Mirror Palais, as she soaked up the sun on a dreamy Brazilian escape. The vibrant two-piece, a fusion of highlighter hues and stringy silhouettes, clung to her in all the right places. But it was the playful red bucket hat, whimsically dotted with cartoon animals, that added a quirky-cool twist to the sultry seaside look. 

“You thought you could keep me away?” she teased in a cheeky Instagram Story caption, referencing her return to Rio de Janeiro after a previous visit in January. Ratajkowski lounged effortlessly in the golden sand, a drink in one hand and her signature confidence in the other, proving that beachwear is her natural habitat. 

While her current vacay may be making headlines, it comes hot on the heels of her jaw-dropping appearance at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Swapping bikinis for sheer lace, the model-turned-author rocked a custom Ludovic de Saint Sernin gown that played with transparency in all the right ways. Styled by Danielle Goldberg, the look channeled the night’s risqué energy while staying unmistakably Emily. 

But back in Brazil, it was all about the swimwear. The My Body author has long been known for her love of cheeky bikinis—unsurprising, given that she launched her line, Inamorata, back in 2017. Her style ethos? Minimal fabric, maximum impact. And on this trip, she stayed true to form, cycling through a carousel of eye-catching suits, including a soft tan bikini and a cherry-printed number that was equal parts flirty and fun. 

Of course, this wasn’t a solo getaway. Tagging along for the tropical adventure was her 3-year-old son, Sylvester, whom she shares with ex-husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard. The mother-son duo has become known for their globe-trotting bonding moments, and Ratajkowski’s not shy about showing how she balances motherhood with her high-glam lifestyle. 

This return to Brazil feels like a full-circle moment for Ratajkowski, who last visited earlier this year and delivered a parade of bikini looks that had fans double-tapping from every corner of the globe. Whether she’s walking a red carpet or strolling a beach, she knows how to serve a look and make it entirely her own. 

From sultry lace gowns to bold beachwear and candid mom moments, Emily Ratajkowski continues to blur the line between high fashion and everyday intimacy. With a camera roll full of sunlit snaps and her signature self-assured smirk, she’s reminding us of all that for her, every setting is a runway, and she’s always dressed to own it.
