Emily Ratajkowski displays her incredible figure in semi-sheer lace lingerie

She's one of the most beautiful models in the world - and Emily Ratajkowski showed off her incredible figure in white lace lingerie on Monday morning.

The 25-year old shared the sultry snap on Instagram, delighting her 9.5million followers as she took a selfie in the mirror. 

She captioned the image with one simple word: 'Night', just days after slamming photographer Jonathan Leder for publishing previously unseen naked photos of her.

Standing in a beautiful hotel room, the brunette beauty pushed her locks from her face as she pouted, showing off a beautiful peach lipstick.

Emily shot to fame after stripping off for Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines video in 2013. 

'My body, my choice,' the actress and model wrote just hours before she landed at LAX airport on Thursday, following the photo release.

Flying under the radar! Emily was covered head-to-toe as she arrived at the LAX airport on Thursday

'My body, my choice': The model took to Twitter on Thursday to rant about nude photos of her from 2012 being leaked

The brunette beauty began her rant since Wednesday and tweeted her anger, stating: 'This book and the images within them are a violation.' 

The explicit photo shoot was done in May 2012 and some of the pictures have been widely reproduced by media outlets and magazines. 

News of the photos broke last week and Emily explained: 'I’ve been resisting speaking publicly on the recently released photos by Jonathan Leder to avoid giving him publicity. But I’ve had enough.'

Low-key look: The Blurred Lines beauty wore a loose-fitting black sweater which she teamed with light wash distressed denim jeans

She explained that the Polaroids were taken for an artful magazine spread and she never intended for the unused ones to be published.

'These photos being used w/out my permission is an example of exactly the opposite of what I stand for: women choosing when and how they want to share their sexuality and bodies,' she tweeted.

The genetically-gifted stunner continued her rhetoric on Thursday and wrote: 'To be clear: I signed no release & was not paid.'

Natural beauty: Emily went makeup-free for her travels which featured her flawless complexion

Details: The genetically-gifted stunner rounded out her low-key look was a pair of simple wire-framed glasses and dainty silver necklaces

'That said, the legal side of this is private,' she added. 'And I would appreciate it if people waited to base their opinions on facts rather than speculation or assumptions.' 

The Vogue Germany cover girl touched down at the Los Angeles terminal in light wash distressed denim jeans.

She wore a loose-fitting black sweater which she teamed with matching suede ankle boots.

Outrage: While she's happy to flaunt her body for fame, the model insisted via Twitter on Wednesday that it's up to her when and how she chooses to show off her figure

Her silky chestnut tresses were styled straight and parted down the centre for a classic look.

Rounding out her low-key look was a pair of simple wire-framed glasses and dainty silver necklaces.

Halle Berry Launches Sexy New Lingerie Line At 50, Features On Bruno Mars’s New Album ’24K Magic’

Halle Berry may be 50-years-old, but she can still show off her body for a steamy lingerie photo shoot, according to TooFab. The Monster’s Ball actress, who turned 50 this past summer, is really enjoying her age.

Halle Berry took to Instagram to share steamy photos of herself wearing sexy lingerie. With the photo shoot, the actress announced she’s launching a brand new lingerie line. On the photo, the 50-year-old actress is seen wearing a wet, see-through T-shirt with black lacy panties.

While the photo was taken from behind, Halle Berry still doesn’t look her age.

In the caption to the sexy snap, the actress says, “the big FIVE OH has taught me to be FEARLESS.”

Announcing her new lingerie line at 50-years-old, Halle Berry wrote that she knows one thing for sure: It’s “never” too early or too late to do “what EVER makes you happy.” The actress also added that the steamy pic was a little behind-the-scenes image from her recent shoot.

With a link to the private Instagram account @scandalehalleberry, Halle Berry seems to have revealed the name of her future lingerie line. It’s yet unclear when the Catwoman actress is going to launch the line. On her website, Berry described the lingerie line as “lingerie for real women.”

“We have real curves, real colors, and real needs. We deserve lingerie that lives up to us.”

Halle Berry also praised her lingerie line for being “beautiful” lingerie that’s also practical, functional, and comfortable. If all of the lingerie on her new lingerie line is as sexy as that one from her photoshoot, then the Scandale Halle Berry line could easily become a hit.

Halle Berry also claims that her lingerie is “so comfortable” that women can never take it off. Because, as the actress claims, this is the kind of lingerie women “can stay in, play in, live all-day-every-day in.”

In addition to launching a new lingerie line, Halle Berry is also lending her voice to Bruno Mars’s newly released album 24K Magic, according to People magazine. The actress is no stranger to being part of the music industry.

I’m crying @BrunoMars literally put @halleberry ‘s voicemail message in his song???????????? pic.twitter.com/41yHeVWNjI

â€" cawt (@czimmm) November 23, 2016

Halle Berry has been name-checked on several songs, including Kendrick Lamar’s “Money Trees,” but now the Catwoman actress also wants her own voice to be part of the music industry.

In Mars’s newly released album, Halle Berry makes a special appearance on the seventh track called “Calling All My Lovelies.” As the song’s title suggests it, Mars is trying to reach Berry by phone.

But Halle Berry appears to be unable to answer the phone, so the actress recorded a voicemail and sent a kiss through the air at the end.

“Hi, you’ve reached Halle Berry. Sorry, I can’t get to the phone right now, but if you leave your name and number, I’ll get right back to you.”

So Halle Berry’s fans shouldn’t be surprised when they hear the mention of her name as well as recognize her own voice in the new song. Because it was actually Berry herself who recorded that voicemail!

Even though Halle Berry played her iconic role as Catwoman over a decade ago, she’s still one of the most attractive women of DC Comics films, according to the Daily Mail. One more proof of that is Gal Gadot, who was cast as Wonder Woman, saying that she would pick Berry as her potential future love interest.

â€" Joe Cab (@garyorjoe) November 11, 2016

When Gadot was asked on Good Night with Guy Pines about her character possibly being bisexual, the actress said she already had an actress in mind to play her potential love interest. And that actress is Halle Berry!

“I saw her the other day, Halle Berry. She’s so beautiful. Wow! She’s gorgeous! So… yeah, I could do it with her.”

Victoria's Secret Accused of Designing 'Racist Lingerie'

Womenswear brand Victoria’s Secret has been accused of cultural appropriation and of designing “racist” lingerie by a lifestyle editor at Cosmopolitan magazine.

In an article, Helin Jung, executive lifestyle editor at the outlet, criticized what she called the “sexist, patriarchal, mostly white corporation” for its “brazen” perpetuation of “what is clearly cultural appropriation.”

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

Jung begins her critique by describing the Victoria’s Secret annual fashion show, which kicked off Wednesday in Paris.

“Models dressed in costumes fit for segments called ‘Dark Angel,’ ‘Secret Angel,’ and ‘Bright Night Angels’ stomped down the runway at the Grand Palais, showing off the sculpted results of their life’s work and ‘naturally’ enhanced hair,” Jung wrote.

After detailing the various designers, models, and entertainers showcased at the “multimillion-dollar televised panty parade,” Jung ominously warns, “But look closer and you’ll see that the golden glitter path is paved with unfortunate intentions.”

Jung’s biggest point of contention, apparently, is that while Victoria’s Secret’s appears to celebrate the world’s multicultural beauty through design and fashion, it is actually engaging in the “exploitation of these cultural references.”

“[D]on’t let yourself be hoodwinked by Victoria’s Secret’s brazen attempt to relabel what is clearly cultural appropriation by turning it into a celebration of ‘culture,'” Jung wrote. “The brand and its creative leads shamelessly cherry-picked imagery, breaking apart aesthetic references from wherever they wanted and stitching them back together again. They’re telling us it’s worldliness. It’s not; it’s a hack job.”

Jung rails against Chinese cultural appropriation, writing that “the emblems that stood out most were the ones that came from Asia â€" specifically China.”

But Jung also acknowledges that Nepalese  jewelry designer Arpana Rayamajhi created most of the work for the segment.

Jung firmly rejects Victoria’s Secret for its seemingly sincere attempt at appreciating the world’s cultures.

“With its positive, pre-emptive spin about globalization and multiculturalism, Victoria’s Secret seems to have anticipated my response,” Jung wrote. “The brand is leading with the notion that we’re all members of the human race, therefore everything belongs to everyone.”

UPDATE: Cosmopolitan appears to have taken down the article, as the link leads to an error message. The article is still available in an archived link here.

Social media users who noticed the article ripped the fashion website for publishing the piece, which accused Victoria Secret of mass cultural appropriation for profit.
