Sometimes clothes speak louder than words — just ask Emily Ratajkowski.

When the model turned up at the 2024 WSJ. Magazine Innovator Awards at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City on Tuesday, October 29, she sent a cryptic-chic fashion message in a JW Anderson dress covered with bold-lettered text.

Ratajkowski, 33, plucked her party dress right off designer Jonathan Anderson’s Spring 2025 runway. But the source behind the print was more elusive: it was actually an excerpt from English art critic Clive Bell‘s book Art, originally published in 1914.

“I love Jonathan, and I just saw this dress when it went down the runway and was like, ‘I want to wear that,’” she recalled.
