Emily Ratajkowski experienced not one, but two wardrobe malfunctions while attending Paris Fashion Week — and handled both with runway-ready composure.
The 34-year-old model stepped out in a striking ensemble featuring black Dior pants paired with a sculptural white top. The flowing statement piece wrapped around her neck and cascaded down her frame, fastening into two oversized knots at the thighs and leaving her back completely open.
Ahead of the show in the Tuileries Garden, editors from InStyle captured Ratajkowski posing for photographers when one of the large knots securing her top unexpectedly came undone. Without hesitation, she calmly reached down, re-tied the fastening, and resumed her poses as if nothing had happened.
The second mishap occurred later along Rue de Rivoli. As Ratajkowski walked confidently down the street — turning the sidewalk into her own personal catwalk — a long piece of silk from her top detached completely. A passerby quickly retrieved the fallen fabric and handed it back to her. Notably, the model never broke stride, maintaining her pace and poise amid the unexpected interruption.
The incidents in Paris followed a bold fashion moment just days earlier during Milan Fashion Week. After walking in the Gucci show, Emily Ratajkowski shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram. Among them was a candid self-tanner snapshot that offered a glimpse at the branded thong she used as a stencil prior to being sprayed — a playful, behind-the-scenes nod to the fashion house.
Despite the brief wardrobe setbacks in Paris, Emily Ratajkowski once again demonstrated her seasoned professionalism. For a model accustomed to the unpredictability of live fashion events and street-style scrutiny, the moment became less about malfunction and more about mastery.
As Fashion Week continues to deliver high-risk, high-impact style, Emily Ratajkowski’s ability to navigate the unexpected proved that true fashion confidence extends beyond the clothes themselves.
