She hasn’t been on the scene as long as others, but damn has she had a glow-up. Emily Ratajkowski got her big break and came onto the Hollywood scene just a decade ago but she’s managed to change a ton since she first graced our screens back in 2009. We originally came to know her as a sex symbol and she’s only grown more and more beautiful — but she definitely had humble beginnings. Scroll through the gallery to see EmRata’s transformation since 2009.

2009-2010

In the early days of her career, an 18-year-old Emily guest-starred on two episodes of the Nickelodeon smash hit iCarly — and she definitely looked the part! The soon-to-be model looked pretty young until she really made her mark in the scene…

2012

In 2012, she posed on the cover of a fine art and erotica mag called Treats! Magazine. When she showed up for the Spring Issue Launch Party to celebrate her cover, it was clear she had started to grow into herself.

While attending New York Fashion Week in 2013, Emily rocked a very tame and young look, with no hints toward her developing style and penchant for being as nude as possible. Until, of course…

The model made her landmark appearance in Robin Thicke‘s “Blurred Lines” music video, where she bared it all — to much controversy — and really proved she was someone to watch in the modeling and acting worlds.

2015

Em’s career was fully underway by 2015. At the photocall for her first leading feature film role in We Are Your Friends, she rocked a turtleneck minidress — a more covered-up look that was a stark contrast from the music vid she was famous for.

2016

At the Harper’s BAZAAR Icons party in 2016, EmRata really stepped out and showed up as the Emily we know and love today: the one who bares it all, or at least isn’t afraid to.

2017

At the Christian Dior show for Paris Fashion Week in 2017, Emily really started to find her footing when it came to her love for the feminine. Her looks started to really capitalize on her femme qualities this year.

2019

Back in June at the 12th Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, EmRata stunned in this adorable crop top and pencil skirt number. The ‘fit was tame on the red carpet, but she made sure to show off her underboob later on Instagram. Cheeky!

At the WrapWomen Power Women Breakfast in July, the model spoke on feminism and empowerment — and wore the cutest play on a power suit to prove it. She really is all grown up, y’all.
