Ratajkowski’s shoes provided a casual base for her equally casual ensemble: a white tube top and wide-legged blue denim shorts, cast in a light wash. For a summer-worthy finish, the “My Body” author completed her look with several layered gold necklaces, hoop earrings and a pair of glossy black sunglasses. Her outfit was also elevated through her choice of handbag: Loewe’s medium-sized Luna bag, a $2,350 curved hobo style crafted from smooth black leather with a monogrammed cotton strap.
