Emily Ratajkowski was just another model up till the point everyone saw her in Robin Thicke's NSFW music video Blurred Lines. That video has opened all the doors for her and today she's being featured in just about any thing to do with sexy or a bikini.

But Emily isn't just perfection to look at. She's also got the smarts. She attended UCLA for a year before pursuing modeling, and her parents are both educators. She spent a lot of her childhood moving around different parts of Europe, Now she's everywhere. We tracked her rise to fame in the list below:
