She’s got the ick.
Emily Ratajkowski chatted with influencer Remi Bader on the latest episode of her “High Low with EmRata” podcast Tuesday, and along with discussing body image, boundaries on social media and inclusivity in the fashion world, the model revealed one of her biggest turnoffs.
“What are your icks?” the 32-year-old podcast host asked Bader before sharing one of her own fashion frustrations.
“My recent ick is men’s ankles. Exposed ankles. I hate that,” Ratajkowski said. “A dainty ankle exposed on the hottest man will ruin my day.”
Bader laughed at the fellow Victoria’s Secret model’s “very specific” ick as the mom of one continued, “When they like sit down and the leg pulls up and I see their dainty ankle I’m like (gagging noise).”
New York’s best-dressed dog walker doubled down on her no-ankle rule, saying that she actually stopped seeing a guy because of his short pants.
“I swear to God there was a guy I was seeing and he came over in short pants and like, a shoe that exposed his ankle, and I have not seen him since. Swear on Sly’s life,” Ratajkowski said, referring to her son with ex-husband Sebastian Bear McClard.
She didn’t name names when it came to the cropped-trousered offender, but the fashion-forward star — who briefly dated Pete Davidson last year — seemed to show off a less-picky message when she posted a video earlier this month joking, “Newly single me deciding to date anyone who wanted to take me to dinner.”
While she might not enjoy a show of ankle, the “My Body” author certainly loves to show some skin herself, rocking a variety of tiny outfits in recent days including a sexy vintage dress with ab cutouts while walking the VMAs red carpet earlier this month.
Cropped trousers aside, the duo discussed Bader’s career as a body-positive influencer, covering a range of topics including size diversity at fashion week.
Bader — who recently walked the Victoria’s Secret World Tour red carpet in the same sheer dress once worn by Megan Fox — said that while she felt London Fashion Week “seemed way more inclusive,” she didn’t get the same vibes in Paris.
“When I was in Paris … I was literally getting no’s to every possible, not even show, but events, and I just felt not wanted and I was like, ‘why am I here?'” she told Ratajkowski. “Like, I’m not going to make a change at Paris Fashion Week when it’s been one way for so long.”
