It may still technically be winter, but Emily Ratajkowski is clearly operating in full summer mode.
On Saturday, March 14, the 34-year-old model dropped a carousel of poolside photos on Instagram that racked up over 257,000 likes in under 10 hours.
Shot by photographer Morgan Maher at what appears to be the Beverly Hills Hotel, the seven-image spread features Ratajkowski in a plunging red one-piece swimsuit, posing by the water with palm trees and cabanas in the background.
The comment section filled up fast. Love Island star Ekin-Su Culculoglu wrote “Hottttt” while supermodel Irina Shayk dropped a fire emoji. Other fans called her a “legend,” the “Most gorgeous girl,” and “too beautiful for this world.”
Ratajkowski’s photo dump arrives just ahead of the 98th Academy Awards, which take place Sunday, March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The ceremony, themed around “humanity,” airs live on ABC beginning at 7 p.m. ET, with comedian Conan O’Brien set to host.
This year’s show will feature performances tied to Sinners and KPop Demon Hunters, a tribute to Rob Reiner, and the debut of a brand-new Best Achievement in Casting category — the first new Oscar category since Best Animated Feature in 2001.
While it hasn’t been publicly confirmed whether Ratajkowski will be in attendance, the Gone Girl actress is no stranger to Oscar weekend, having appeared at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party nearly every year since 2016.
Red swimsuit moment aside, Ratajkowski has also been making headlines for her love life. She went Instagram official with French film director Romain Gavras on February 19, posting a series of photos of the pair embracing and kissing.
Gavras, 44, directed the film Athena and has helmed music videos for Jay-Z and M.I.A. He previously dated pop star Dua Lipa in 2023 before the two split after less than a year.
As for Ratajkowski, she was previously married to producer Sebastian Bear-McClard from 2018 to 2022. The two share a 5-year-old son, Sylvester.
