Clearly, the cold autumn bite doesn't faze Emily Ratajkowski in the slightest – and, frankly, we are in awe. Fresh off the back of her daring appearance at Swarovski's Holiday celebration (in case you missed it, she rocked a slinky see-through maxi), the supermodel has come through with another look with an unmistakably sultry edge.
The 31-year-old threw caution to the wind and stepped out on the streets of Manhattan in an all-black ensemble that stopped us in our tracks.

Emily, who has been super busy promoting her new podcast interview series High Low with EmRata, opted for a black mega-plunge long-sleeved crop top with the most striking detail. Styled with a low-rise midi skirt and glossy black boots, her top featured a gilded visage in the centre of belt-like ties wrapped around her midriff.

The head of Medusa is deeply embedded in the heritage label's history, featuring in its logo. Inspired by the Greco-Roman stories present in much of Italian art, the house's founder Gianni chose Medusa's head as Versace's emblem for its mythical significance.

Such was her wrath at this sacrilege, Athena punished Medusa by turning her hair into snakes. Before she was transformed into a monster, anyone who looked at her couldn't help but fall in love with her, and even in her new, terrifying form, Medusa commanded attention. And those who dared to look into her eyes were fated to never turn away – just once glance turned them into stone.
While EmRata has much more in common with Medusa's original form, there's no denying that her sultry street style moment has us utterly captivated – and unable to look away.
