Ratajkowski rose to global fame after starring in Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams' 2013 music video Blurred Lines. She has since starred in the Netflix miniseries Too Much in addition to David Fincher's Gone Girl and the Entourage feature film. She's also the host and EP of the podcast High Low With EmRata.

Ratajkowski is also the founder of the successful apparel and swimwear line Inamorata.

She was married to film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard from 2018 to 2022, and the two co-parent their son, Sylvester Apollo Bear.
