Models Off Duty: Irina Shayk and Emily Ratajkowski Enjoy Courtside Companionship at Knicks Game
New York City bred an unexpected courtside companionship on Friday night when supermodels Irina Shayk and Emily Ratajkowski were spotted enjoying one another’s company at the New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons game. The genetically blessed duo served up a heavy dose of off-duty model realness, playing with selfie angles and cheering on the home team while clad in enviably chic date night attire.
While Ms. Shayk is known to use sport matches as a backdrop for her model-off-duty style, this marked a first for it-girl and provocateur Ms. Ratajkowski. In an unexpected showing of basketball fandom from the podcast host and newly minted book author, Emily donned a plunging neckline bra top and slouchy leather blazer to take in the game. The longtime pals clearly relished the opportunity to let loose and support their city’s team, sharing moments of gleeful camaraderie over the course of the evening.
In an Instagram photo dump posted after the final buzzer, Ms. Shayk gave followers a glimpse into the lighter side of life inside the celebrity fishbowl. Clad in an LBD that would look at home on the red carpet, the model mama showcased the innate goofiness she and Ms. Ratajkowski share during their treasured girls’ nights.
Additional photos provided a sneak peek at the enviable contents of a supermodel’s date night wardrobe. Ms. Shayk unleashed her inner vixen in a lacy cocktail dress with a plunging neckline, topping off the look with an oversized puffer, knee-high boots, and statement earrings. With her tawny waves left loose and tousled, she embodied dewy-faced seduction. Ms. Ratajkowski channeled biker babe appeal in leather pants and pumps, a partially unbuttoned satin top allowing a peek at a matching undergarment beneath.
Cementing their supermodel status, the duo even managed to arrange a backstage photo opp atop a hulking construction vehicle post-game. Batting their lashes while perched atop the industrial machinery, they proved themselves fembots par excellence. After a night spent reveling in femininity and friendship, the two seemed relaxed and content when heading their separate ways into the night
