We’re officially mid-way through the Spring/Summer 2024 season of Paris Fashion Week. Rather than suffering from a bout of fashion fatigue, it seems that those attending the shows in the French capital are getting more inventive than ever when it comes to styling their ensembles.

Case in point: New York native, Emily Ratajkowski.

The supermodel has just touched down in Paris with her two-year-old son Sylvester (Sly). The star hasn’t divulged her itinerary, but we’re expecting to see her planted in the front row at LOEWE.

Perhaps it was her fashion faux par from last season—as you’ll recall, the New York Times best-seller wore nothing next to nothing to the Maison’s SS24 menswear show after deciding to don a leather trench coat in the peak of European summer—that’s resulted in this experimental styling trick.

Her PFW-approved hack? Fashioning a corset into a dress. Sartorial sorcery, indeed.

The classic corset remains in high rotation in Ratajkowski’s off-duty arsenal. However, the podcaster has upped the ante for her time in Paris. For those curious about the logistics of this look, allow us to break down the silhouette.

Rather than wearing an oversized corset and calling it a day, the model took a boned black bodysuit and seemingly tucked it into the elasticated waistband of a black maxi skirt. From afar the streamlined silhouette turned the set into an illusion of one seamless look.

With the My Body author often sporting cropped corsets and low-waist skirts, leaving her midriff exposed, this tucked-in trick is an often-overlooked styling scheme that deceives the eye into thinking you’re wearing a smooth and cohesive outfit. 

Breaking up the monochromatic outfit, Ratajkowski also spotted a pair of Brick Red-colored stiletto boots from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s collaboration with footwear label GIA BORGHINI. 

With this look her Paris Fashion Week entrée, we can’t wait to see what Ratajkowski is cooking up for the main course. Bon appetite!
