Emily Ratajkowski is getting into the holiday spirit in not one but two ways this week. First, she’s taking her clothes off for Love Magazine’s Advent calendar like many brave models (and Kris Jenner!) have done before her. She also designed a dress that gives back to an amazing cause.

The clip shows Ratajkowski sexily dancing to Snoop Dogg and David Guetta’s “Sweat” in a sheer Fleur du Mal x Playboy bra and panty set. She also wears Boucheron fine jewelry in the clip directed by Jonny Lu. (Reminder, last year she danced with a giant panda.)

As for her other gig, Ratajkowski, 24, is way more clothed. The model collaborated with California-based brand Christy Dawn on a flirty mini dress appropriately named the “Emily.” The design, which went on sale yesterday and retails for $250, features a square neckline and three-quarter sleeves that flare at the ends. It also has an on-trend neck tie.
The small Venice Beach company (which has some big celeb fans like Taylor Swift and Brooklyn Decker!) only made about 100 dresses (all from deadstock fabrics!) in six colors and one floral print, which Ratajkowski wore to Monday’s launch. Unsurprisingly, the design is close to selling out. (You better act fast: This is basically the Kylie Jenner lipkit of dresses!)

“Within a week, we met and designed the dress,” dress designer and owner Christy Dawn Petersen told WWD. “We did it really fast. It was cool to see someone so busy want to work with a smaller company like us.”
The best part? With each sale of an “Emily” dress, 25 percent of the proceeds go to Planned Parenthood.

“I let Emily take full rein on the charity of her choice because I wanted her to be really inspired to give to a charity that she was passionate about and I know she’s done a lot of work with Planned Parenthood so I was definitely on board,” Dawn Petersen shared.
