Emily Ratajkowski was spotted walking her dog Colombo in New York on Friday.

For her romp in the city, Ratajkowski wore a pair of black ballet-esque flats. The style featured a strappy crisscrossing construction, similar to the dancerly ballet flat silhouette, along with mesh and cloth uppers. Additionally, the style included contrasting white stitching and rubber soles that offered the model a sturdy and non-slip base. The silhouette of the runway regular’s shoes can be likened to a dance or tap shoe from the likes of Capezio or Bloch.

Ballet flats of all kinds are becoming exceedingly popular as of late. The style has enjoyed a renaissance, becoming the it-girl shoe in a flash for its diverse silhouette and immense comfort. The girly and playful style can be purchased from a wide range of brands including Prada, Circus NY, Coach, Miu Miu, Maison Margiela, Free People and Zara, just to name a few. Not just for dancers, ballet flats have received a major upgrade, coming in a myriad of colors, textural and prints.

Serving model-off-duty style, Ratajkowski wore a black tank top, accompanied by baggy denim shorts with frayed edges. Rounding out her look, the model wore large black sunglasses and silver hoops.

Ratajkowski’s model-off-duty style often includes a slew of sporty sneakers from brands including Vans, Nike, Puma, Asics and Koio. When it comes to shoes, the “Gone Girl” actress can be found in an array of strappy sandals, mules, boots or pointed-toe pumps from affordable brands like Aldo and Femme, plus boots from Proenza Schouler, Celine and Stuart Weitzman.

She previously founded her Inamorata line of intimates in 2017, which has since grown into Inamorata Woman, with categories like apparel, swimsuits and more. Beyond her talents for strutting down runways, Ratajkowski has appeared in a variety of roles in both television and film over the years.
