Emily O'Hara Ratajkowski (born June 7, 1991) is an American model and actress. She rose to prominence after appearing in the music video for Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines", which became the number one song of the year 2013 in several countries and was the longest running Billboard Hot 100 number one song of the first half of the 2010s decade in the United States.

Ratajkowski's modeling career has progressed from retail adwork to arthouse erotica and high fashion. She appeared on the cover of the March 2012 issue of erotic magazine treats! Among her other cover appearances are GQ, Cosmopolitan and FHM. This led to her being asked to appear in two music videos, one of which was Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines". Following the success of "Blurred Lines", she became a high profile sex symbol and appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Ratajkowski began acting as a child in the San Diego area before she gained a recurring role on the Nickelodeon series iCarly.
