There's no questioning Emily Ratajkowski's turn-your-head style status. Whether she's modelling a tiny thong bikini on the streets of New York as part of her day job, or enjoying time away from the spotlight (but never the paparazzi lens) on an off-duty dog walk, she's always on trend. From red carpet naked dresses to Mango halter tops, everything she wears goes straight to the top of our wish lists.
Admittedly more realistic with the latter, than the former. Yep, unfortunately we do not have the same fashion budgets as our fave celebrities. This means whenever we spy something we love, we have to shop around for ways to create the same look for less. Which is exactly what we did when we spotted EmRata's latest Instagram story.
Our eyes were immediately drawn to the silver chunky E that hung from a red woven string cord around her neck.
The personalised initial necklace is an Alison Lou creation – the same jewellery designer behind Em's divorce rings – and retails for a steep $425. Whew.
Luckily, some of our favourite affordable jewellery brands have come through with remarkably similar designs. From the bubble font and XL size to the silver finish (we're *so* here for the silver jewellery comeback, btw!), it's never been easier to get in on a trend. And it's definitely a trend, think Hailey Bieber's iconic puffy B necklace.
While the high street has yet to jump on the woven cord look as a stylish alternative to a classic chain, there's no reason you couldn't source your own. Either add your pendant or wrap the corn around the existing chain necklace for a totally unique look that's all your own.
