Emily Ratajkowski is defending her right to show off her whenever and however she seems fit.

The model, 27, opened up about how she aligns her sultry social media snaps and her feminist views in a new interview with Paper Magazine published on Monday.

Emily, who tied the knot in a surprise ceremony earlier this year, graces the cover of the publication's latest issue, dressed in a red top with a round collar, he hair arranged into a wavy bob with side-swept bangs.

Poker face: Emily Ratajkowski posed in a low-cut, brown lace dress for Paper Magazine with a set of playing cards at her feet and her left hand over a drink

Inside the magazine, Emily posed for more shots, including one that sees her sitting on the ground in a plunging, brown lace gown with a few playing cards laid out at her feet, a glass in her left hand.

Emily, glancing straight into the camera, brings one of the playing cards close to her pout with the other hand, in a perfect representation of the body and face that propelled her into stardom after she appeared in Robin Thicke's controversial video for his song Blurred Lines, back in 2013.

In that video, Emily danced along with Robin, now 41, Pharrell Williams, 45, rapper, T.I., 37, and model Elle Evans, 28, and Jessi M'Bengue, 28. All three men wore outfits such as suits and button-down shirts while the women wore white shorts and matching bras, with Emily ending up in a flesh-colored thong.

The video came as the song was accused of having a sexist undertone, of being 'rapey' and of celebrating the objectification of women. Emily later called the video the 'bane of [her] existence' in an interview with InStyle UK, wondering why people were still talking about it three years after its release.

Modeling was supposed to be just a day job for Emily, a temporary gig that would enable her to make some money before possibly going back to school.

'To have something that I was just viewing so much as a 9-5 job turn into something I really was not expecting was super surprising,' she told Paper Magazine.

Emily has stuck with modeling, appearing on the cover of Cosmopolitan, Glamour, and CR Fashion Book, among other publications. She has walked the runways of some of the highest-profile designers, including Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu.

On a day-to-day basis, Emily has carefully crafted her social media image, thanks to regular publications featuring her figure and / or close-ups of her delicate facial features.

'I think of my Instagram as a magazine,' she told Paper Magazine.

When asked about what sort of publication her Instagram would translate into, she replied: 'It's a sexy feminist magazine.'

Although her Instagram personal has earned her a whopping 19.3 million followers, Emily insists it doesn't encompass the full scope of her personality.

'I am not going to shout from the rooftops that I am smart on a visual platform,' she said.

The model has long called herself a feminist, despite criticism from people who felt that her decision to showcase her body on camera was incompatible with the concept.

'I think that the whole idea that because the body I was given might play into some patriarchal idea, I should be ashamed of it or be covering it up is ridiculous,' she said.

'I find empowerment in celebrating and sharing my sexuality. I think my body is beautiful and a lot of different bodies are beautiful.'

While she wouldn't refer to what she does as 'activism' (which she finds to be a 'strange word'), Emily insisted she is 'most passionate' about 'social issues'.

She has supported the Black Lives Matter movement, protested against Donald Trump's travel ban in January 2017, participated in the Women's March that same month, and previously endorsed then-presidential-candidate Bernie Sanders.

Emily, who played in Gone Girl alongside Ben Affleck in 2014, said the movie industry is the one that has challenged her the most, explaining: 'There are a lot of older white men at the top who still don't understand that just because you've seen a woman's body, you can also take her seriously.'

Still, the model, who launched her swimwear brand last year, feels in control of her narrative.

'Being able to have the agency to do the swimsuit thing is so empowering to me,' she said, 'and I'm hoping to be able to take that same entrepreneurial attitude to fashion, to film making and beyond and to utilize the tools that I feel lucky to have.'

Just on Sunday, Emily posted more of the sultry social media snaps that have become a core part of her brand, posing in two sets of low-cut polka dot swimsuits with the caption: 'polka.is.back.'

Daring to impress, the I Feel Pretty actress revealed her ample cleavage in the bikini top, which featured a plunging neckline. She thrust her pert derriere in the couture number with high-cut lines over her toned thighs and hips.

Her trademark brunette tresses were left long and loose as they cascaded over her petite shoulders.

The video vixen recently made headlines with her surprise wedding to Sebastian Bear-McClard at a New York courthouse in February.

Emily exchanged vows with Sebastian, 31, in a small ceremony with just a handful of friends in attendance in February.

Their marriage came as a shock to Ratajkowski's 16.6 million followers as the two were only dating for a few weeks prior to the wedding.

They only became a couple a few weeks before the wedding but a source told UsWeekly that she'd known him 'for years'.
