Emily Ratajkowski knows how to make an entrance. She proved it tonight when she showed up at the BAZAAR Icons in a barely-there shimmery black dress by Julien Macdonald that left very little to the imagination. She stepped out in a gown with straps that exposed major sideboob and grazed low on the hips.

"It's actually very comfortable and simple, and I feel great," she told BAZAAR about her dress.

As shocking as her look is, those quick to blame the model for showing skin to seek attention should think twice.

"A woman can be seeking attention and also make a statement.They don't need to be mutually exclusive," she explained in the August 2016 issue of BAZAAR.

Ratajkowski, a feminist and body-positive activist, has made known that her stance on female nudity and sexuality is not one of shaming but of empowerment. This, in fact, is the same woman who has stripped down for nude selfies in solidarity with Kim Kardashian and called out sexist critics (i.e. Piers Morgan) online.
