Emily Ratajkowski Pins Her Hair Up—And Channels an Iconic Italian Bombshell in Milan

Emily Ratajkowski attended the Green Carpet Fashion Awards with her dark hair pinned up in a style recalling this Italian icon.

When readying for the final evening of Milan Fashion Week, turning to Italy's reigning la dolce vita icon for inspiration is a foolproof approach. Just look to Emily Ratajkowski, whose cultivated abs and legs-for-days were outshone only by a tousled, breezily pinned updo that melded Sophia Loren's brand of bombshell glamour with a wash of millennial insouciance.

For last night's Green Carpet Fashion Awards, the model—spotted on runways like Dolce & Gabbana and Versace earlier this week—celebrated sun-kissed, solar powered skin framed in saffron silk Roberto Cavalli that ensured attention was paid to her toned physique. Above the neck, a set of gilded and geometric earrings made the finishing touch to a hairstyle that was the stuff of Milanese romance. Sections of face-framing straight strands were left to spill from her center-parted crown—ideal for effortless behind-ear-tucks—while the remainder of Ratajkowski's dark brunette lengths were brushed back into a knot secured between the mid- and top- of the head.

The result was a casual interpretation of one of Loren's meticulous, high-drama updos, though further pared down with a simple swirl of pink blush and a sheer, glassy lip. Finishing out the city's bustling fashion week, it's a look that promised to travel well the next morning on the first flight out of Milan—and beyond.
