Blurred Lines model Emily Ratajkowski wins Esquire Woman Of the Year, has a new film role and wants to become a 'brand'

The newly crowned Esquire model of the year appeared half-naked in the Blurred Lines video, has a new film role and wants to become a 'brand'.

She knows you want it. Emily Ratajkowski in the Blurred Lines video.

YOU probably knew her face before you heard her name.

And depending on which version of the Blurred Lines video you've seen, you might also be quite familiar with every other square centimetre of Emily Ratajkowski's perfect body.

The 22-year-old stunner has just won Esquire's Woman of the Year poll, which puts the call out every year for the red-blooded men of the world to anoint the planet's babe of the moment.

Even the Oscar-winning Jennifer Lawrence could only muster a respectable second to Ratajkowski, who steam-rolled home with 64.6 per cent of the final vote.

So she's just eye candy, right?

Nope. It seems Ratajkowski is pretty intent on global domination. And she's giving it a fair crack already.

This is one of the more modest screen shots from the Blurred Lines video.

Certainly, her career to date hasn't required her to do much more than show up and look beautiful.

There's the aforementioned video for Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines - the undisputed song of 2013 that went to number one in no fewer than 24 countries.

Ratajkowski is one of the three models parading pretty-much nude in that video, dancing sleepily and inexplicably carrying lambs. It's been watched 230 million times on YouTube, if you combine the views of the G-rated and raunchy versions.

Then there's her work in ad campaigns and magazines.

Shooting a Rag and Bone campaign earlier this month.

Oh, and director David Fincher (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network) has tapped Ratajkowski to play Ben Affleck's needy mistress in his film adaptation of Gone Girl, which is the crime thriller novel everyone in the world seemed to be reading this time last year.

Ratajkowski isn't content with just booking jobs and collecting a pay cheque though.

In a recent interview with the New York Times, she confessed that her goals involve transcending mere personhood.

"So whether I'm talking about a perfume, a movie or an editorial, there's always a part of it that's about me but an equal part that's about the project," she said. "I want to be a brand."

So it's probably time you stopped calling her That Girl From The Blurred Lines Video.
