Emily Ratajkowski Wears Thong Bikini on Vacation in Rio de Janeiro

Of course, Emily Ratajkowski wore a Brazilian thong bikini in the country that coined its name.

While continuing her girls’ trip getaway to South America, Ratajkowski, 33, bared her pert bum on the white sand beaches of Rio de Janeiro in a tropical-print top and cheeky bottoms, as captured in a series of photos that she shared to her social media feed on Sunday, January 26.

The model struck a pose from behind, giving the camera an up-close shot of her enviable curves, as she raked her fingers through her hair with one hand and held a beer koozie in the other. Fittingly, a snap of her longtime BFF Babs Jeanne was also included in the Instagram carousel wearing a printed two-piece from Ratajkowski’s very own swimwear line: Inamorata.

They kept the good vibes going past dusk, but not before Ratajkowski changed into a second itsy bitsy string bikini, this time replete with a flesh-colored top. She gave it the DIY micro treatment by ruching the cups tightly to create minimal coverage and maximum cleavage.

Elsewhere in the post, the model and Jeanne hit up the beachfront bar at the Fasano hotel and broke out the bubbly while wearing coordinated beachwear that juxtaposed naughty and nice.

While Jeanne, 33, hit a sultry note in a leopard bikini and black sarong, Ratajkowski looked sweet in a cheery balconette top and high-cut bottoms, seen peeking out of relaxed linen pants that were left unbuttoned — all the better to show off her suntanned limbs and toned midriff.

Indeed, Ratajkowski has spent the last week living her best life in Brazil, as this was far from the first occasion she’s provided her fans with a virtual podcast from paradise. On Monday, January 20, the model and swimwear designer brought the heat in a red-coded Instagram carousel, featuring a series of vibrant looks — including yet another Brazilian thong bikini. When in Rio!
