Emily Ratajkowski has taken her affinity for cheeky undergarments to a new level.

The 33-year-old has posed in what Bustle described as “the stringiest G-string ever strung” on the cover of Milan-based art and fashion magazine, Cap 74024, for its 10th anniversary issue.

In the photo, taken by Fausto Elizalde, the model and author is pressed against a window overlooking Paris, her back toward the camera to reveal a black, Loewe leather jacket, worn open over the underwear.

Ratajkowski, whose essay collection My Body was published in 2021, said earlier this year her relationship with her physique had changed since the birth of her son, Sylvester, now three.

“It changed the surface-level relationship I had with my image and my body, where it was just this thing to be looked at and it was either doing a good job or a bad job in that regard,” she told Glamour in January.

“Now I see it as this amazing vessel that actually knows a lot more than me in some ways.”

She also opened up about the judgement she faces now because she’s a mother when she does something like, say, pose naked on the cover of a magazine.

“It’s the classic thing that once a woman becomes a mother, that should be her identity solely, if she’s a good mother,” Ratajkowski said.

“I’m an example of that. So, I feel like there’s this sort of confusion: if it’s not just blatant sexism of (on the one hand), ‘She shouldn’t be doing that, she’s a mother’, which is obvious. There’s almost (on the other hand) this, ‘I can’t believe she’s a mum!’ which is equally not great.”

Ratajkowski added that “misogyny permeates every interaction all women have, even with yourself, and particularly women who’ve built their careers and their successes off of their image or the way they look; they face a particular kind of aggression”.

In a separate interview with Elle UK in November, Ratajkowski said she didn’t “give a sh*t” anymore about what others thought of her.

“I don’t care anymore. I used to really try to play a part based on the space that I was entering,” she said.

“If I was trying to be sexually attractive, I would wear a lot of makeup. If I was wanting to be taken seriously by an academic crowd, I would wear less and that applied also for how I dressed.

“I think now, I just don’t give a sh*t. I just don’t care so much about the perception that people have of me. This is who I am and they’ll figure it out and if they don’t, that’s on them.”
