In the eight-second video, Emily Ratajkowski is seen crossing the street when a man's voice off-camera tells her to "put on a shirt." The remark was particularly strange given that she was clearly wearing a grey tank top at the time.

Ratajkowski responded to the unsolicited comment by pairing the video with a snippet of Charli XCX's hit '365,' featuring the lyrics: "Who the f**k are you? I'm a brat when I'm bumpin' that. Now I wanna hear my track, are you bumpin' that?"

She cheekily captioned the video, "Wait for it, man tells me to put on a shirt," and added, "famously not demure, famously not mindful," referencing a recent trend on TikTok.

This latest incident comes just a week after Ratajkowski revealed that she is "decentering men" from her life. Joining a growing number of young women who are embracing a "boysober" lifestyle, Ratajkowski has made it clear that she is prioritizing self-care and personal growth over traditional romantic relationships.

In a recent interview with Vogue, she discussed this shift, explaining that she no longer finds the idea of a whirlwind romance appealing. "Decentralizing men has been a huge part of my life," she said. "I still love men in many ways, but the Disney fairy tale I had once embraced... I just don't find that interesting anymore."
