Emily Ratajkowski offered followers a glimpse at her recent life in Los Angeles, combining a daring swimsuit mirror selfie, an off-duty beauty moment and a romantic photograph with boyfriend Romain Gavras. The 35-year-old model shared the collection of images on Instagram, as reported by Fox News.

The carousel opened with Ratajkowski posing in a plunging black one-piece swimsuit. The design featured a dramatic neckline and high-cut sides, creating the boldest fashion moment in her latest collection of photographs.

Ratajkowski wore her long brunette hair loose around her shoulders for the mirror selfie. She completed the look with black shorts and oversized sunglasses while posing with her phone in front of the mirror.

"lotsa LA lately," Ratajkowski captioned the carousel. The brief message accompanied an assortment of personal images capturing her style, beauty routine, and relationship.

Another picture showed the "Gone Girl" actress taking a close selfie while wearing pink and orange rollers in her hair. She again sported oversized sunglasses and adjusted the frames with one hand.

A cigarette rested between Ratajkowski's lips in the image, adding another element to her relaxed glamour. That detail quickly drew mixed reactions from followers in the comments beneath her post.

"What is with influencers all smoking lately… smoking hasn’t been cool in a longtime," one person commented. The response directly questioned the appearance of the cigarette in Ratajkowski's photograph.

Another commenter was equally unimpressed, writing, "The Unlit cig isn’t hittin’ like you think it is, Emily." The reaction suggested the commenter believed the cigarette was merely being used as part of the image.

Other followers responded more enthusiastically to the carousel. Fellow model Irina Shayk showed her approval and commented, "My friend is ."

Beyond the fashion and beauty snapshots, Ratajkowski included a black-and-white photograph featuring Gavras, a French filmmaker. In the intimate picture, the couple held each other's faces while leaning in to share a kiss.

The romantic image arrived just days after Ratajkowski and Gavras attended the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Oct. 17. The couple posed together at the event, where Ratajkowski wore a striking red dress.

The gala was another public outing for the couple following their appearance together at the MTV Video Music Awards in September. During the VMAs, Ratajkowski appeared to offer a subtle tribute to Gavras through a manicure featuring the initials "RG."

Ratajkowski and Gavras first generated romance rumors in November 2025 after they were photographed together in New York City. Ratajkowski later posted photographs of herself with Gavras on Instagram in February 2026.

The model has also spoken candidly about relationships following her divorce from film producer Sebastian Bear McClard. In a June 2026 personal essay for The Cut, she reflected on a period of dating after her separation and her adjustment to being a single mother.

Ratajkowski explained that she initially pursued romantic attention during that period. She described becoming more emotionally detached in her approach to relationships before recognizing that she had lost sight of what she genuinely wanted.

"I'd never been connected to my own desires," she wrote, reflecting on that period of her life. Ratajkowski also explained that her divorce ultimately altered the way she understood her independence.
