Emily Ratajkowski is over 'centering men' who don't serve a purpose
Emily Ratajkowski is taking hot girl summer literally. In a new interview with Elle UK, the model and actress told the publication that the men in her life must serve a specific purpose – or she's ready to show them the door. "Not centering men is really wonderful," she said in the article, published June 18. "In general, in our world, men have somehow filled this space, but what I found instead of it is community." "I still like men," she offered as a caveat, but added that her desire for friendship with straight men has dwindled. "I just have zero straight men in my life, unless they're a romantic interest. In the hierarchy of needs, that's at the top of the pyramid, which is nice," Ratajkowski, 34, told the magazine. While men may be good for "pleasure and fun," they're "not a part of my core" community, she explained. "The rest of my life is community with other women and queer people, and being a mom," she said. Ratajkowski shares one son, Sly, 3, with ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. 'Hot girl summer,' move aside. Women are going 'boysober' and have never felt better. Now an author, the model has spent recent years sharpening her feminist voice and becoming an outspoken advocate for women's rights. Her 2021 essay collection "My Body" explored themes of female empowerment, owning your own sexuality and the exploitative tilt of the entertainment and fashion industries. Her comments echo a wider sentiment circulating in some circles online of a freedom found in "decentering" men. In line with the "boysober" trend of last summer, which saw women renouncing sex and romantic relationships for the sake of clearheadedness and empowerment, Ratajkowski's sentiments match a growing movement to throw out the boy craziness of yesteryear and dig deeper into female relationships.

Emily Ratajkowski loved opportunity to shape character in Netflix show Too Much
Actress Emily Ratajkowski has said she loved being given the opportunity to "shape the character" in her role in new Netflix series Too Much. Ratajkowski is due to appear in the new romcom directed by Lena Dunham, which appears on screens next month. The model-turned-actress said she is enjoying having more control over her career now she is in her 30s. She told Elle magazine: "I really value control. In my 20s, I didn't have a lot of it in my career. Now, I like making things and I like not being an addition to them. With Lena, I got to shape the character so much, which was really fun." Ratajkowski, who appears on the cover of the July/August issue of Elle UK, also spoke of becoming a mother in 2021. She said: "I know what kind of mom I am, and I only deeply care about my son's reaction to that. Anybody else who has opinions about me as a mother because of the way I dress – it's just so inconsequential." Ratajkowski said it was important to think about others. "I hate when people, celebrities specifically, are like, 'I'm just really just focusing on my own life right now.' "It's what we all do to survive but, listen, the world could end tomorrow. It is important to really enjoy your life and take care of the people that you're close to."

Ratajkowski gave birth to her son Sylvester Apollo Bear (nicknamed Sly) in March Ratajkowski is taking a look back at her journey to motherhood, from pregnancy to her present-day mom era. On May 11, Ratajkowski—who gave birth to her son Sylvester Apollo Bear in March 2021—rang in Mother's Day by stripping down and baring her baby pump in a carousel of naked photos. 'Happy mother's day :),' the My Body author captioned her Instagram carousel, which began with a NSFW photo of the then–pregnant star lying topless in a bed. With her baby bump prominently displayed above the waistband of her low-rise gray sweatpants, Ratajkowski could be seen gazing at the camera while covering her chest with her hands. Alongside photos with her son Sly, whom she shares with ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, Ratajkowski also shared a topless photo of her only wearing a g-string as she showed off her pregnant figure in a mirror selfie. In the throwback photo, the Gone Girl actor could be seen covering her bare chest with one hand as she posed in front of a bathtub. It's no secret that Ratajkowski is partial to a NSFW bathtub selfie, as she previously shared an artsy image of her posing nude in the reflection of a glass shower divider last October. And she ensured her baby bump was front and center as she shared several other naked photos taken from her bath, including one zoomed into her stomach while she relaxed in the water. In another image, she could be seen posing nude in the bathtub with her hair down and her hands over her chest as she looked at the camera. In addition to sharing behind-the-scenes snaps from her pregnancy, Ratajkowski also gave fans a glimpse at her life with her mini me. The model could be seen enjoying a dinner, taking a nap, and exploring a museum with her son in the Mother's Day photo dump. Ratajkowski, who last shared a photo of her son Sly celebrating their appearance in The New Yorker, proved her son is already following in her sartorial footsteps as she sat front row with him at Paris Fashion Week last September. Making a stylish appearance at the Loewe Spring-Summer 2025 show, Ratajkowski styled Sly in an oversized light gray T-shirt, maroon pants, and matching boots. Read the original article on InStyle

Huma Abedin and fiancé Alex Soros put on united front at Met Gala after backlash over 'awkward' photoshoot
Huma Abedin and her billionaire husband-to-be Alex Soros put on a united front as they walked the Met Gala 2025 red carpet after going viral for their very awkward photoshoot that was just published hours before. The couple were among the celebrities in attendance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday evening, after they were mocked for appearing in a 'tone-deaf' magazine feature from The New Yorker. Appearing at the star-studded event, Huma, 49, oozed glamor in a cream ruched corset with a black trailing black skirt. She accessorized her ensemble with huge statement diamond earrings and a bold red lip. Her partner, 39, wore a black suit and matched Huma's corset top by wearing a bow tie in the same color fabric. Showing their unbreakable bond, Alex wrapped his arm around Huma's waist as they posed for photographers. Their show of solidarity comes after they were ridiculed online earlier in the day, after they appeared in the article named 'Power Houses Inside the living rooms of notable New Yorkers' alongside the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Emily Ratajkowski. In the piece, the couple showed off their ritzy high-rise apartment in NoHo with Alex positioned on the sofa as the political staffer stood beside him, holding his hand. They were both dressed in a similar shade of green. Neither party was smiling. The image went viral on social media shortly after, with users poking fun at Alex and his recent focus on fighting oligarchy and Trump while inside a plush pad with expansive views across the city. They also hit out at the couple for appearing miserable. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one noted: 'Could they be farther apart?' 'Here's a prime example where money doesn't bring happiness,' another said. A third added: 'Don't they look joyful.' 'Gosh how happy do they look,' wrote another. A fifth said: 'Have you ever seen a more dismal pair? What is it, with these people, that they think this is appealing? Does this inspire you?' Huma and Alex got engaged in June 2024 but kept it a secret until weeks later. It wasn't until early July, after reports emerged that said they were getting married, that the couple confirmed they were indeed gearing up to walk down the aisle together. 'This happened… we couldn't be happier, more grateful, or more in love,' Alex wrote on his Instagram Stories at the time, alongside a snap from the moment he got down on one knee. Huma was previously married to disgraced New York politician Anthony Weiner. She and Alex, who has been named as the heir to his father's $25 billion empire, first revealed that they were dating on Valentine's Day, when they shared a PDA-filled snap from Paris. They reportedly met through a mutual friend and have been traveling together over the summer. They then made their red carpet debut when they attended the Met Gala together in May 2024. Alex is the son of Hungarian-American businessman George Soros. The 94-year-old billionaire is known for his philanthropy, with George having donated more than $32 billion to his organization Open Society Foundations, which gives grants to groups and individuals that promote democratic principles and human rights. In addition to son Alex, George, who has been married three times, also has children Andrea, Gregory, Robert, and Jonathan.
