The actress enjoys drawing when she has some leisure time.

While the celebrity likes to read, her busy schedule influences the kind of literature she consumes.

“It is a very honest female perspective that I think everyone should read.”

Her strongfeministviewpoints aren’t something she’s adopted since becoming internationally known, though.

Ratajkowski developed feminist views in her adolescence.

“I was really young,” she toldOffice.

“My mom was an academic and she was always talking about feminism.”

Ratajkowski added that empowerment is key.

“But we’re directed to have a sort of confidence, a sarcastic attitude about the whole situation.

I think it’s actually celebrating women and their bodies.”

Emily Ratajkowski toldIndependentthat the furious outrage that erupted after the video’s release puzzled her.

“Nudity isn’t something people should take offense to,” she said.

“I don’t like how I look or I want to change certain things about myself.

After that, she started getting steady acting work.

Modeling provided her a gateway to her true passion.

“I started acting before I was ever interested in modeling,” she toldOffice.

It’s a good way to get her foot in the door.'

Modeling just happened to take off first.”

When things are rough, Emily Ratajkowski has learned how to deal with it.

The model toldEllethatself-confidenceis something that takes practice and that it doesn’t always come easily.

“Give yourself a break,” she said.

“This is a message that’s super important to me.

I don’t know if I see that as much with men, certainly not physically.”

And that’s great that those are the things that we all want.

Fortunately, that has changed.

“What does it matter?

Ratajkowski added that developing better habits has been transformative.

“It’s not even aging so much as it’s just maturity,” she said.

She has since developed a betterskincare routineand has also started eating healthier.

“But I wouldn’t feel good.

It wasn’t even satisfying, you know?

You’d be halfway through it thinking like,I just have to finish this.

The whirlwind romance swept the actress off her feet, but it has also kept her grounded.

“I … used to have serious FOMO,” she toldByrdie.

“If something was going on, I needed to be there.

I wouldn’t care how I felt.

But I’ve just gotten to the point where basically I’ve given up on FOMO.

I’m totally okay with being like, okay, tonight I’m gonna be by myself.

I’m not going to that extra thing.”

And honestly for me, sometimes I like that.

I’m like, you go do your thing.

This doesn’t mean that she’s preoccupied with her good looks, though.

“It’s not my real life.

Hopefully, young people understand that.

I’m curating this world.”

“No, I’m not posting that.”

With her clothing line,Inamorata, Ratajkowski wants to support all body types.

In 2018, a photoshoot for her line included both professional and amateur models with different body types.

“My dream is to see girls of all shapes and sizes in the underwear.

And that’s why the sizing ranges from extra small to extra large.

The sizes are really generous.”

Emily Ratajkowski is also using her brand to fight against ageism.

In 2019, Inamorata’s bodysuit line debuted with a photoshoot that used models from ages 2 to 70.

“Women can spend their whole lives in a bodysuit,” Ratajkowski toldRefinery29.

“We start wearing bodysuits as babies and […can style them] well into our 70s.

They really are forallwomen, of every age.”

“I want a radical left, and I don’t see it…

I was hopeful that with Trump coming into power there would be this drive to radicalize.

As she toldFashion, she’ll probably never be able to escape people critiquing her.

Instead of dwelling on what people think of her, Emily Ratajkowski would prefer to look forward.

“People don’t really care about you.

They mostly care about themselves and how you make them feel.

The more you stop showing them that you’re overly concerned with yourself, they like you more.”
