Emily Ratajkowski walked the GucciCore runway in New York in May 2026 wearing a belted black jacket with an oversized fur collar – and that single detail shifts the entire look.
That collar is the headline. And at the GucciCore Fashion Show in New York City on May 16, 2026, Emily Ratajkowski made sure you saw it before anything else.
On the runway, Emily Ratajkowski at GucciCore wore a black belted jacket with an exaggerated, sculptural fur collar that frames her face almost like armor. The body of the jacket is sharply cut and cinched at the waist with a wide belt, creating a defined hourglass line, while the hem skims into a mini length that keeps the proportions tight and deliberate.
Notice how the matte finish of the jacket contrasts with the dense texture of the fur at the shoulders. The volume sits high and wide, then narrows quickly at the waist, and that compression is what gives the look its tension. It reads dramatic, but it’s actually disciplined.
The knee-high black leather boots continue that vertical line, sleek and structured, with a pointed toe that sharpens every step. In her hand, she carries The Attico “8:30 PM” clutch in black-and-white snake-print leather, its triangular shape echoing the sharp geometry of the belt and boot toe.
Under the runway lights, the all-black base absorbs everything around it while the collar catches the glow, almost hovering above the jacket. That push and pull between heaviness at the top and clean lines below is the whole story.
As runway drama goes, this lands at a confident 8/10 – bold in shape, precise in execution, and made for spectacle. This belongs squarely on a runway, not anywhere near an everyday outfit.
The collar sets the power dynamic.
