Emily Ratajkowski

Emily Ratajkowski, the London-born, California-raised model and actress who first broke through on the cover of treats! and in the "Blurred Lines" video, has been named hot by MARCA. The outlet's coverage, along with her placements on our hottest women (#10), hottest models (#3) and hottest actors (#8) lists, reflects a media consensus built on her runway presence, screen work and the way she commands a red carpet. MARCA reported that she shared her most sultry photos from the Academy Museum Gala with Romain Gavras and turned heads with a daring look at the 2026 VMAs, while its U.S. edition noted she set social media alight with her bold VMAs outfit. Fox News highlighted a subtle nod to Gavras in that same VMAs look, a passionate kiss on vacation in Rome, and a bikini-filled July photo dump. AOL.com described a striking black swimsuit plunging to her belly button, and ELLE marked the Academy Museum Gala as the couple's red carpet debut. Her Wikipedia page views confirm the sustained search interest that keeps her high on the rankings. The steady stream of gala appearances, festival looks and viral photo dumps — each dissected by outlets from MARCA to Fox News — shows a public appetite that goes beyond a single breakout moment. She remains a fixture because every major appearance renews the conversation.
