Over the years, many stars have experienced their own classic Marilyn Monroe moment, including Selena Gomez at last weekend's Golden Globes. But I don't think anyone has had a Marilyn Monroe moment while wearing cowboy boots and holding the latest iPhone in their hand.

Emily Ratajkowski experienced her own dress in the wind moment, only this time it was a high waisted black skirt with a thigh high-split. The actress must have been shivering as she strolled through New York, warming herself only with an oversized leather jacket.

Ratajkowski paired this skirt with a plain black t-shirt and tan-colored cowboy boots. She's proven herself to be a big fan of cowboy boots, wearing them throughout the year on any occasion.

She finished the outfit with a chunky necklace, silver hoops, classic sporty black sunglasses, and a black pleated leather handbag slung over her shoulder.

It's a stylish yet understated look, only slightly surprising in January.

Aside from this skirt to the wind moment, Ratajkowski actually shares quite a lot in common with deceased Monroe.

Both Ratajkowski and the actress were overly sexualized. For Ratajkowski, this came through her modeling and role in the "Blurred Lines" music video, which she has since said she regrets participating in. Even though Ratajkowski still regularly posts NSFW photos on her Instagram, it is now through her own agency and a manner of reclaiming her body.

Monroe unfortunately never had the chance to do this, and wasn't around to see Instagram or any social media platforms.

We can only hope that more female celebrities get the chance to celebrate their bodies on their terms, like Rihanna's recent campaign for her brand, Savage X Fenty.

In the meantime, Ratajkowski, please put on some tights, as I'm freezing just looking at you!
