Supermodel Emily Ratajkowski enjoys unique access to various fashion collections, yet her personal style often leads her to repeatedly wear items she loves—especially in multiple colors. A prime example of this is her fondness for the PUMA Speedcats.
Originally launched in 1999, the Speedcats quickly gained popularity among young fashion enthusiasts during their middle school years. With the resurgence of Y2K fashion trends, this sneaker has made a significant comeback, embraced by numerous style icons, including Ratajkowski. For over a year, she has sported a vibrant cherry red version of the shoes, demonstrating their versatility by pairing them with a range of outfits, from romantic dresses to athletic jumpsuits.
On December 10, Ratajkowski made waves by debuting a new colorway of the Speedcats during a visit to Milan for the PUMA Speedcat Launch Celebration, an event that also attracted fellow brand admirer Dua Lipa.
EmRata’s ‘00s-Era Style
At the event, Ratajkowski chose to wear an eye-catching ultra-sheer minidress that notably lacked a bra, revealing a daring neckline that approached her belly button. The ensemble invoked a sense of nostalgia for the early 2000s, echoing the sneaker’s own roots. She showcased her outfit in a distinctive manner by layering the dress over pants, which has often been a polarizing trend from that decade.
In line with her throwback aesthetic, Ratajkowski complemented her look with vintage-inspired accessories, including a metallic rosette pendant reminiscent of styles made famous by early 2000s icons like Carrie Bradshaw.
Her $100 Sneakers Are In Stock
To complete her fashionable all-black attire, Ratajkowski carried a stylish east-west bag and opted for her new Speedcats. Despite their popularity often resulting in sell-outs, this particular colorway is available now for $100—a tempting offer for fans of both fashion and comfort.
She Also Owns It In Red
Ratajkowski’s affinity for the Speedcats dates back to 2023, during which she has donned her favorite cherry red pair on several occasions, showcasing her flair for mixing styles. For instance, in May, she creatively combined a white doily dress—evoking a soft cottagecore aesthetic—with the sporty sneakers, illustrating the trend of pairing unexpected styles.
In February, she was spotted at New York Fashion Week sporting a chic athleisure look, consisting of a plunging jacket and cycling shorts, further pushing the boundaries of conventional fashion with her vibrant red shoes serving as the only bright element in her otherwise dark ensemble.
