Emily Ratajkowski recently made a political statement by wearing a black T-shirt featuring Stormy Daniels’ face on it in New York City. The T-shirt, which costs $95 and is a limited edition Platform style, was illustrated by cartoonist R. Crumb. On the same day, Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts related to false business records, which were linked to covering up his affair with Stormy Daniels. Ten percent of the proceeds from the shirt go to Safe Horizon, a New York organization that supports victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Ratajkowski has been open about her experiences with sexual assault and has used fashion to make political statements in the past. In 2020, she was seen wearing a Rage Against the Machine T-shirt featuring a young Bernie Sanders. Other celebrities have also used fashion as a form of expression. At the Cannes Film Festival, actress Cate Blanchett wore a dress that some believed resembled the Palestinian flag, while Bella Hadid wore a dress inspired by the Palestinian keffiyeh. Actor Guy Pearce also showed his support by wearing a Palestinian flag pin and bracelet in a photoshoot for Vanity Fair France. Fashion continues to be a powerful tool for celebrities to express their beliefs and stand in solidarity with causes they support.
