Emily Ratajkowski attends Sicily party during Charli XCX-George Daniel wedding reception

Emily Ratajkowski was photographed smoking a cigarette while wearing a low-cut outfit as she attended a late-summer party in Sicily that doubled as a second wedding reception for Charli XCX and The 1975 drummer George Daniel. The event took place at Tonnara di Scopello, part of the singers’ weekend of nuptial celebrations following their London wedding on July 19.

Ratajkowski posted a 16-image Instagram slideshow from the event, and the set included shots with transgender model Alex Consani and comedian Jordan Firstman, as well as a separate moment with model Gabbriette. The posts described a so-called 365 party week, though she did not share images of any purported skinny dipping in Sicily. The model, who has a combined 33.1 million followers, did not include pictures of her four-year-old son Sylvester Apollo Bear with ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard in the feed.

Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard’s four-year marriage ended in 2022 amid a wave of sexual misconduct allegations leveled by several actresses; the divorce was finalized later that year. On September 5, she was photographed canoodling with actor Austin Butler at the Waverly Inn in Manhattan, signaling renewed romance speculation. In the years prior, she has been linked to a string of high-profile figures, including Stéphane Bak, Harry Styles, Orazio Rispo, Eric André, Pete Davidson, Jack Greer, and Brad Pitt.

On August 11, she announced that she will make her screenwriting debut and star in an untitled drama series for Apple TV+ from A24, with Lena Dunham and Stephanie Danler involved in the project exploring female identity and modern motherhood. Ratajkowski has said Dunham helped her opportunities beyond her Instagram following. The Zohran Kwame Mamdani campaigner’s swimwear brand Inamorata, which she co-founded in 2017, has not updated its Instagram account since June 2024.

Ratajkowski first rose to fame as a topless model in the 2013 music video for Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams, a moment that helped launch her into a broader entertainment and influencer career.
