These days, the fashion aesthetic dominating the zeitgeist is “mob wife,”—which TikToker Kayla Trivieri, who named it that, describes as being “an energy, an aura … it’s about being very forward and bold.” Clothes-wise, the mob wife look involves as much leather as possible, fur, gold jewelry, sexy statement pieces, and sunglasses, plus an Italian designer bag—at least according to Sarah Jordan Arcuri, self-declared “Mob Wife Aesthetic CEO” of the internet.
Celebrities from Khloé Kardashian to Dua Lipa have been embodying the look lately, and now it appears Emily Ratajkowski is joining in on the fun. The model was spotted in New York City today wearing a look that certainly winks at the trend. Leather? Check. Animal print? Check. Sunglasses? Check.

Ratajkowski first showed off the look on Instagram, where she wore a slate mesh long-sleeved Silk Laundry top over a gray bra. She paired these pieces with a low-rise cheetah-print maxi skirt, and added a few pops of leather with her dark brown marbled jacket and black stiletto boots. The My Body author shared a mirror selfie that featured her look, sans jacket, but then deleted the photo and shared another one of herself bundled up in the outerwear.

Once she stepped outside, the model wrapped a black woven scarf around her neck and threw on a pair of burgundy motorcycle sunglasses. Ratajkowski also chose a pair of silver hoop earrings, seen in a selfie shared to her Instagram Story.
May the mob wife trend live on!
