Emily Ratajkowski suffered a wardrobe malfunction at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards but handled it like a pro.
The model was dancing during a performance when her top started to slip, nearly exposing her chest. Ratajkowski quickly adjusted her top and smiled, seemingly unfazed by the incident.
Some fans praised Ratajkowski for her composure, calling her a “queen” and “a pro.” Others commented on the daring nature of her outfit, which Jean Paul Gaultier designed.
Ratajkowski has always been open about her body and her sexuality. She has spoken out against body shaming and slut-shaming, and she has used her platform to promote body positivity, reported Yahoo!
“I didn’t feel like, ‘Oh, I’m an artist performing, and this is my outlet.’ I felt like a piece of meat who people were judging, saying, ‘Does she have anything else other than her [breasts]?’ ” she told The Los Angeles Times.
A Twitter user uploaded a video of Emily adjusting her top after it swung up from all of her dancing.
Her reaction to the wardrobe malfunction is just one more example of her confidence and self-acceptance. She showed that it’s okay to make mistakes and that it’s possible to laugh at yourself.
Ratajkowski’s wardrobe malfunction is a reminder that even celebrities are human and everyone has embarrassing moments. It’s also a reminder that it’s important to be kind to yourself and others and to celebrate our bodies, imperfections and all.
