Emily Ratajkowski and Her Mom are Bikini Goals

July 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Emily Ratajkowski is no stranger to Instagram the bikini selfie, and now, neither is her mom. Yesterday, the model posted a photo of herself and her mother in a matching summer uniform: dad hats, sunglasses and swim suits. They pose arm in arm smiling by the pool, giving off double the bikini goals. 

Ratajkowski, an advocate for body positivity, seems to have gotten that self-confidence from her mom. She opened up about how her mother, Kathleen, helped her accept and celebrate her sexuality when she was a young girl.

"Before I understood what sex was, I was being looked at by men, which was a really weird experience. And I basically had a really great mom, who celebrated my sexuality and made it very clear that I was not to be embarrassed, or that anything I wore was something I should feel bad about," she said on Lena Dunham's podcast.
