Emily Ratajkowski was both body-shamed and criticized for her choice of swimwear as she soaked up rays in The Hamptons ahead of the pandemic. In 2018, the supermodel flaunted her sensational body on the East Coast, enjoying a relaxing solo beach day as she read a book. Displaying her Amazonian frame and famous curves in a tiny bikini with a thong design, EmRata went cheeks out in her skimpy bathing suit, one quickly gathering comments. While many users shamed Emily, saying that she’s got no muscle tone, others focused on her two-piece. The latter came complete with suggestions that the thong briefs might be causing Emily “discomfort.”

Scroll for the photos. Opting for a blush pink shade and rich, satin fabrics, Emily upped the ante while keeping her look classy.
Flashing her ample cleavage in a plunging, balconette top with ruched detailing, the “Blurred Lines” star highlighted her toned abs and shoulders while on soft sands, initially wearing baggy jeans, but eventually removing them. Displaying her mile-long legs and peachy backside, Emily teamed her busty top with matching briefs, rocking a butt-baring finish that exposed her famous backside.

With a criss-cross, tied-up back, Emily Ratajkowski also sent out ballerina vibes thanks to her ribbon-like straps. The London-born star was photographed with her hair clipped back and makeup-free, completing her look with gold earrings and layered necklaces to match. Emily lounged around on the beach while topping up her tan, with some photos showing her quietly reading a book.

Fans on The Daily Mail commented on the photos, and not many were kind.
“Surely these women must feel most great discomfort with their bikini bottoms tightly rammed up their backsides or is exposing their bum cheeks for the press coverage they get worth the discomfort suffered?” one fan asked, gaining over 60 likes. Another wrote: “Put ya bum away hon. You don’t need to display it like that.”

Elsewhere, an alarming number of body-shaming remarks came in. Fans called Emily Ratajkowski’s backside “saggy”, saying that she needs to do “lunges” and “squats.” Emily is known for her washboard abs and buns of steel, but this crowd seemed convinced that her figure was subpar. Over 45 fans agreed when a separate user replied:
“Emily long bottom..her butt looks much different when not photoshopped or pushed out.” The photos were taken ahead of Emily’s pregnancy. In 2021, she and ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard welcomed son Sylvester. Nobody seems to think Emily looks any different since having become a mother.
