It’s the one-year-old’s first fashion campaign.
Sylvester’s look was completed with a small lime green Tory Burch handbag, which he could be seen holding while being held in his mother’s arms.
On Ratajkowski’s Instagram, where she posted behind-the-scenes videos and photos from the shoot, Sylvester was also seen modelling a rooster outfit and a carrot costume. Another photo showed the baby wearing an oversized denim jacket.
“Sly! My little alien superstar,” Ratajkowski captioned the Instagram album. “I love my Tory family so much.”

“Cutest thing I’ve ever seen,” one person wrote, while another said: “Such a star!!”
Fellow model Elsa Hosk also praised the mother-son campaign, writing: “So stinkin cute,” while model Lily Aldridge wrote: “Cuties.”
The post also prompted a comment from the official Tory Burch Instagram, which added: “The Dream Team and your little alien too.”
