This week, Gemini Emily Ratajkowski celebrated her 31st birthday in paradise and surrounded by friends. On social media the model and mother to baby Sly shared happy snaps from her tropical-fuelled celebrations in Tulum, Mexico. “Burnt n happy birthday girl,” Ratajkowski shared to Instagram, wearing a giraffe printed string bikini. Unsurprisingly a design from her namesake swimwear label, Inamorata.

The author and actress was joined by a group of girlfriends including Alexis Paige, Caitlin King and Stephanie Danler and judging by social media, the women spent plenty of time lounging by the pool, eating and paddle boarding (vicariously living right here).

Ratajkowski seemingly celebrated her 30th birthday last year from the same destination with her husband Sebastian Bear-McClard and one-year-old son, Sylvester. She briefly documented that tropical getaway and posed in a none other than a spangly Versace Spring/Summer 2021 number – not once, but twice.

Her inauguration into the 30s club arrived with great success. Ratajkowski finally released her ground-breaking memoir My Body, and for the first time publicly discussed in further detail allegations of sexual assault and her experience in growing up in the modelling industry. If you haven’t read it yet, you must.

Ratajkowski also released a collection of sneakers with Superga. To mark the launch she spoke to GRAZIA about her personal style. “My style is influenced by countless women! Sometimes it comes from a woman I see walking on the street in New York City and other times it comes from an old picture I’ll see online of Julia Roberts or Halle Berry in the 90s,” the then-30-year-old said.

She recently appeared on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet where the model debuted blunt front bangs – in Miu Miu of course. Her most recent social media post however, suggests it was the hard work of a very good clip-in.
