The One Thing Emily Ratajkowski Wears With Everything, From Bikinis to Dresses

Whether she's at the beach, the airport, or in the city, there is one thing that Emily Ratajkowski is always wearing. Yesterday in New York she was photographed wearing a gray body-con dress with a pair of her now signature sporty white sneakers. This summer, her Instagram feed is (as usual) flooded with pictures of her wearing micro bikinis, however, the difference is she's skipping sandals and wearing sneakers with her swimwear.
On Emily Ratajkowski: Nookie Charlize Midi Dress ($159)
Our team has a lot of questions about this—do her feet sink into the sand with the weight of her Reeboks and Yeezys? Are her sneakers permanently filled with sand? And, well, why? She's worn them on a yacht with a thong one-piece, on a motorbike with a vest top and bikini briefs, and then yesterday, with a body-con dress in New York. Keep scrolling to see how Emily wears her sneakers.
