Receiving the award at The Star, Ratajkowski said she believed modern feminism was not bound by rules.
“It is about defying stereotypes, it’s about pushing boundaries, it is about being in a string bikini on the beach and also at a protest,” she said.
“I don’t think any of us have to limit ourselves to a box. To the perception someone might force on you.
“I hope that young women across the world, but also in Australia, and men as well, will take that to heart and fight the good fight”.
Ratajkowski said she was enjoying her time Down Under.
“It’s my first time in Sydney and Australia … you have quite an amazing community here,” she said.
GQ and Vogue boss Edwina McCann presented the award at the VIP event which also hosted Joel Edgerton, Naomi Watts and Dacre Montgomery.
