Emily Ratajkowski Says Yes to Low-Rise Maternity Jeans

The model displayed her growing baby bump loud and proud….

In terms of comfy maternity wear, a pair of stiff jeans is likely not the first thing a mom-to-be wants to wear (unless it has an elasticated waist band). But leave it to Emily Ratajkowski to defy the norms of maternity style. The model was spotted in Los Angeles, California yesterday wearing low-rise denim, which put her growing baby bump on full display. And the question is, if a pregnant trendsetter can pull them off, should we be readying ourselves for the return of low-rise jeans, too? Let’s investigate.

Like it or not, there have been signs that low-rise jeans are on the comeback. While stars such as Paris Hilton brought them to the forefront during the early-aughts, they have since fallen out of fashion in favor of much higher waistlines. But on the runways, low-rise trousers have been coming back into the fray at shows like Dion Lee and R13, and street style stars such as Bella Hadid have been rocking them, too. Why now? Y2K fashion is back in general—including brands such as Juicy Couture—so the retro silhouettes were bound to come back, too. Horrified? Don’t be just yet.

Ratajkowski’s hip-slung jeans hit just slightly further down than a normal pair would, and she wore them the right way by wearing it with a classic tee that’s cropped, but not too cropped, adding a cardigan overtop for coverage as well. She also accessorized the look with tortoiseshell sunglasses and Re/DONE’s low-top 70s sneakers, which played into more of a comfort factor. (Though we wouldn’t be surprised if Ratajkowski becomes a mom-to-be who wears heels, too.) Ratajkowski’s jeans are proof that the throwback trend might actually be wearable after all—they’re low rise, but not lowww rise.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout

A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.

The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.

There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.

The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.

Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack

Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.

The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.

None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.
