Emily Ratajkowski landed on the recent issue of Evening Standard Magazine laden with sparking gems and designer garb. The David Bellemere photographed-spread sees Emily with her signature sultry pout and many words in defense of Kim Kardashian. In the accompanying interview Emily talked that topless selfie after defending the reality television star from Piers Morgan‘s attacks.

“Kim was kind enough to send me flowers…Then we decided to do a selfie with our tops off, flipping off [sticking up her middle finger at] the camera, which I think speaks for itself” she said. “But even someone who you might be critical of is allowed to post a naked selfie if she wants to.” Check out the spread above.
