Irina Shayk

Irina Shayk's success story resembles a modern variation of the Cinderella tale. How did a provincial girl from the Russian hinterland achieve world recognition and dizzying success in the world of show business? How did Irina manage to become a supermodel and the wife of a Hollywood handsome man?

Irina Shayk is one of the most beautiful women in the world. Purposeful, decisive and strong-willed, she was able to conquer the entire planet with her beauty, although Irina is interesting not only for the “beautiful wrapper” - this woman has a strong-willed character, kind and open heart, and also has an excellent sense of style. But first things first.

Irina was born on January 6, 1986. Sheik's small homeland became a provincial town in the Chelyabinsk region - Yemanzhelinsk. By the way, Shayk is the model's pseudonym. The real surname that the girl inherited from her parents is Shaikhlislamova. The family was the most ordinary: dad was a miner, mom was a teacher, and Irina also had an older sister, Tanya.

In early childhood, Irina experienced the loss of her father, he died while the girl was still attending school. Since then, the mother of the family has worked for two to provide her daughters with everything they need. And little Ira studied hard, she was an excellent student - she inherited her diligence from her dad. Musical talents passed from mother to girl: Irina played the piano and showed good vocal abilities.

Like any modern girl, since childhood, Irina dreamed of moving from a remote province to a big city. And as soon as she finished school, she went to Chelyabinsk with her older sister. And since the girl inherited also a delightful oriental beauty from her dad, happiness was not long in coming.A proposal for a modeling career overtook Irina right on the street, almost immediately after she moved to a big city.

It looks like a fairy tale, but it was in reality. On one of the Chelyabinsk streets, walking, Irina attracted the attention of the staff of the local image club "Svetlana". Seeing the young beauty, the workers of the modeling agency, without hesitation, approached Irina and invited her to the casting. The girl accepted this offer, successfully passed all qualifying tests and immediately began working in the image studio on her modeling career.

Irina's baptism of fire became her constant participation in various beauty contests. She learned to walk beautifully, apply makeup, her dressing style has radically changed. And literally in the very first year of her tireless work, the 18-year-old beauty became popular throughout her native country. First, the girl received the palm at the regional stage of the "Supermodel" competition in 2004.

It would seem that the next step is to go to the final of the competition, to Moscow. Such an offer to Irina was made by her Chelyabinsk agency. But the girl decided to do it her own way. She went to Moscow for the competition, but as a guest. There, the girl stayed for a long time, made the right acquaintances, and as a result, photos of a Russian provincial girl with oriental beauty got into the world's glossy publications.

One of the most useful for Irina Shayk was her acquaintance with the president of the international modeling agency Grace models world - Gia Dzhikinze. It was he who became the main culprit in the fact that Irina's pictures hit the covers of world famous magazines: the first were Spanish Elle, Glamor, GQ Spain, South African GQ, as well as Jalouse, Bolero, Annabelle. In her native country, Irina also instantly became a "cover girl", they did not fail to note the beauty of Shayk in the popular men's magazine "Maxim".

In 2007, Irina became the face of the Intimissimi brand. This became the first of many subsequent contracts with major brands. So, behind Moscow the beauty of Shayk conquered Europe, America, and today the whole world knows about this Russian beauty.

Irina develops not only in modeling, she also appears in films, is a benefactor, does not refuse television projects, where she acts as a presenter.

Ever since moving to Moscow, Irina Shayk has been in the center of the hangout: she constantly appears at shows and parties related to the modeling business. But metropolitan luxury, glamor and brilliance of the chosen profession did not break the character of a provincial girl. Irina went to these events as to work: she maintained her image, made useful contacts.

Even having become a world celebrity, Irina does not get tired of conquering new heights. So, in December 2016, Shayk took part in the Victoria's Secret show for the first time, and was even unanimously recognized as the best model of this fashion show. But Irina did not achieve this right away: years earlier, the model was twice denied participation in this prestigious show.

Very picky about men, Irina from her youth was very attentive to the choice of a gentleman. So, the first serious and significant in her life was an affair with the world football star - Cristiano Ronaldo. The couple existed for 5 years, but never got married. Therefore, the relationship cooled, and ended altogether - a loud scandal.

Very soon after breaking up with Cristiano, Irina was seen in public with another famous handsome - Bradley Cooper. At first, the public dubbed this relationship "a fleeting affair", but very soon the couple announced their engagement.

In December 2016, it became known that Shayk was expecting a child from Bradley, so the wedding would have to be postponed. By the way, Irina took part in that very fashion show of Victoria's Secret, already pregnant.

According to preliminary information, the celebration is scheduled for the second half of August 2017.In the meantime, Irina and Bradley are preparing for the most important event - the appearance of the baby. The name of the child has already been invented: in honor of Bradley's father who died a few years ago, the couple decided - if a boy is born, they will call him Charles, and if a girl - Charlie. For Irina, marriage to Bradley will be the first, but her future husband will go down the aisle for the second time.

Today, at 31 years old, Irina is still charming and youthful looking. She is not afraid to give birth for the first time at this age, just as she is not afraid for her figure. The data indicated in Irina's model dossier reads: figure parameters 88-58-90, height 178 cm, weight 55 kg.

Now Shayk is just at that age when natural beauty must be protected and maintained, before it's too late. But the model, by her own admission, is not ready for radical intervention. Moreover, she categorically denies the plastic surgery that is always attributed to the beauty. Shayk is an outspoken advocate of natural beauty.

There is, of course, no data that would help refute these statements of the model. However, if you look closely at the photographs of Irina at the dawn of her career and compare with those of today, it is difficult not to find differences in some of her facial features. In particular, we are talking about the beauty's nose. Although, even if we assume that there was an operation, then Irina's beauty both before and after the "plastic surgery" can hardly be doubted.

By the way, Irina generously shares the secrets of taking care of her natural beauty with girls from all over the world:

• So, for the face, the model recommends natural coconut oil, homemade cucumber masks, dousing with cold water in the morning and rubbing the face with an ice cube.

• To maintain a reference figure, Irina adheres to a simple and effective method - healthy eating and sports.
• Irina Shayk's favorite among all the options in make-up is only natural "nude". To create brighter evening looks, the model can afford light smoky eyes and red lipstick, but no frills - everything should be moderate, restrained.

The supermodel's wardrobe has undergone constant changes throughout her career: from a Russian provincial girl, she turned into a gorgeous American lady. Clothes in the images of Irina Shayk at one time or another of her life perfectly reflect the status of the model.

Irina's street style, which she has already demonstrated by becoming a world star, is the best examples of style that young girls all over the world look up to. One important rule can be learned here: it is important to use materials that are considered classics of style, which are timeless when creating bows. For casual style it is leather, thin jersey and jeans.

The first image that we will consider looks very restrained and even deserves to be called classic, since it is designed in black and white. The textures are combined here in bright contrast: dense leather adjoins thin knitwear worn to holes. In general, there are a lot of opposites here: ankle boots are equipped with an open toe, a jacket has a short length - these as if autumn-spring attributes are in fact a summer variation of warm clothes and shoes.

At the same time, everything is very simple here: two colors (black and white), three items of clothing (leggings, a T-shirt and a jacket), a minimum of accessories (a bag, ankle boots, a pair of barely noticeable bracelets).

The second image from Irina Shayk's street style gallery is a demonstration of the use of "jeans" in the outfits of a modern girl. Irina combines the classic shade of dark indigo and skinny style with white and gray elements. At the same time, the catwalk star uses trendy materials (translucent knitwear, leather) in this everyday look, as well as fashion accessories (Velcro sneakers with a hidden platform, aviator model sunglasses).

The next ensemble is an example of a successful combination of textures such as leather and fur. The model combines a voluminous variegated vest with an adjacent solid-colored top and bottom.They also use high boots with stable soles, which makes such an outfit not only beautiful, but also comfortable. In such an ensemble, you can take long walks or shopping trips.

Although Irina Shayk looks great in almost any color, I would like to separately note her passion for black and white bows. In the first of these looks, we see black tight-fitting trousers, a top of the same style and color, and a satin white one-button jacket. In this look - without the use of jewelry, with smoothly pulled back hair - this look is a great office option for every day. But if you add here an evening hairstyle, large earrings, rings and bracelets, then in such an outfit you can go to a social event.

Many dark-skinned girls like to create spectacular contrasts by dressing in white outfits. And Irina is no exception to this rule. Let's consider a few of the most successful options. The first of them is a cocktail jumpsuit. This outfit with an open back, seductive neckline and a floor length allows you to demonstrate the advantages of an ideal figure, while remaining within the bounds of decency. And the presence of convenient pockets makes such a jumpsuit comfortable, allows you to feel at ease in it.

The second example of a black-and-white image from a supermodel is a demonstration of a very relevant now "lingerie" trend. The mid-length slip dress in satin fabric is simple overall but seductive thanks to the deep neckline. There is only one remark to Shayk: it is simply necessary to wear a silicone bra under such a dress. Otherwise, everything is matched perfectly: a black jacket, a miniature clutch of the same color, shoes are also black, and these are certainly elegant pumps with a thin stiletto heel.

Basque, fur, large jewelry - these are the three main components of the third white look from Irina Shayk. The delightful sheath dress has a bustier cut, but the shoulders in this outfit are chastely covered with a fur cape. Everything is perfect in the image: discreet makeup, pale pink manicure and delightfully harmoniously selected jewelry. The giant ring and the whimsical necklace go well with each other and with the outfit as a whole.

Irina Shayk also has shocking looks. In the following photos we will see an example of how to wear a "half-naked" dress. Here, bright contrasting combinations of fragments of dense black fabric with mesh are used. Of course, it suits exclusively the owners of an impeccable figure. It is worth admitting that although such an outfit is very controversial, Irina looks just great in it: both exquisite and original.

The same cannot be said about the samples of her outfits from an older period. Take this street bow, for example. It seems that absolutely everything in it is tasteless: stretch jeans of a dubious shade, a vulgar transparent top, a bra that barely exposes the chest, a nondescript jacket. Such an outfit betrays a girl from a remote Russian hinterland. Bows like these should only be used as fashionable anti-examples.

Fortunately, there are much more demonstrative outfits in Irina's arsenal. For example, here is such a practical outfit in the spirit of the 1970s: a tanned leather coat, ankle boots with pointed toes to match the coat, classic bell-bottomed jeans and a knitted turtleneck aimed at them.

The next bow is an example of Irina Shayk's sophisticated style. It is suitable for a modern business woman: a delightful two-piece trouser suit in snow-white color, a fitted jacket, trousers with a slight flare.

A dazzling white dress to the floor is a real gem of Irina's style. Silver jewelry, shoes and a clutch matched to this outfit only add sparkle to this chic look.

And before, the model easily allowed herself to appear in public in such ingenuous, if not cheap, outfits: a modest black top, a milky-tone mini-skirt made of thin fabric and patent leather high-heeled shoes.Over the years of her career, Irina has excluded from her wardrobe both such a style of shoes and a similar length.

Today Irina Shayk's calling card is maxi dresses. The length to the floor sometimes turns into such a charming train. And the closeness of the design of the dress is compensated by long cuts and fragments of translucent fabric. The original combination of soft lavender color, satin fabric, original decorative embroidery - all these elements are the trend of the coming spring-summer season.

This is not the first time that we have observed Irina's ability to wear elegantly even almost completely transparent things. Sky blue, an original lace pattern and a traditional neckline slit that reveals perfectly folded legs to those around her.

Irina's streetwear is simple, but very balanced outfits. Here, for example, we again see a model in tight knit leggings. A loose T-shirt, coquettishly tied up and exposing the navel, in flat sandals and a baseball cap - Shayk's favorite headdress.

For a walk with the dog, the world famous model can go in a simple summer dress, or in a short, tight dress, or in a trouser jumpsuit of a combined cut. In the first case, consider a fun summer version in a la hippie colors. This simple but bright little thing is the main and only element that should attract attention. Shoes and accessories are unremarkable here.

The second option is a longer dress with open shoulders and leopard print. His "lady with the dog" perfectly combines everything with the same slippers "through the toe" and stylish sunglasses.

The same accessories perfectly wander into the next look for walking with the dog - in the photo Irina is wearing a simple and comfortable overalls, ideal for walking on a hot summer day.

The last option is more effective. This is a seductive blue dress of a tight cut and all the same, especially beloved by Irina Shayk, sky blue. The dress is made of dense fabric, perfectly keeps its shape, although it has a tight-fitting silhouette. The performance of the short sleeve deserves special attention. Irina chose shoes for such a walking outfit more refined than we observed on previous bows.

When Irina runs on urgent matters, she often wears just short shorts and some simple T-shirt or T-shirt. In the warm season, the star practically does not appear on the street without sunglasses. In such cases, the sandals on the feet of the model are always minimalistic and practical - this is understandable, because they should be comfortable to quickly move along the busy streets of the metropolis.

Denim shorts are another frequent choice of the supermodel. And a white T-shirt in such an outfit is often thrown over a black sports bodice that looks out from under it. By the way, the opportunity to meet the charming and bewitching look of Irina Shayk is possible, in those rare cases when the model still goes out into the street without black glasses. And she does this only in one case - if she puts on her favorite baseball cap!

And here the star of the catwalks, obviously, is in a hurry for a daytime cocktail: a delightful dress, short and tight-fitting, with an original cut, the model wore along with open shoes on a low stiletto heel, and in the beauty's hand - a refined clutch - an invariable type of handbag for “going out” occasions ...

For shopping in late spring or early autumn, you can easily go in such an outfit offered by Shayk: skinny jeans, a short jacket-coat of an adjacent silhouette and hunters, which are extremely relevant for several seasons - stylish rubber boots.

In summer, go shopping, dressing up according to another example from Irina: stylish open sandals, a short dress of the current style and a little loose cut, intercepted by a thin leather belt. And don't forget the stylish sunglasses.

In the company of black - the main component of the outfit - the model allows herself animal prints in furs during the cold season. Here we also see sexy boots-stockings with corset lacing - a thing from the arsenal of every fatal seducer.

Pure black images are also not alien to Irina. She often dresses in total black, as, for example, in this case: skinny from suiting fabric and a fluffy sheepskin coat. In the photo, only the bag lets you down - the leather shines like a charm in the rays of daylight and gives off gray.

Speaking of gray, the model looks no less stylish and charming in it. For example, as in the following look: here in gray there is a trendy short-length jacket with fur trim on the collar.

Another great option in case of "jumping out for milk": a summer maxi sundress on thin straps with a stylish V-neckline and a geometric print repeating this shape.

Again minimalism, and again black and white. Once again, leather and knitwear are one of the most frequent combinations in Irina Shayk's street style. Shoes require special attention here - sandals with low soles have very interesting straps that encircle the legs above the ankle. A kind of shortened and slightly modified version of Roman sandals.

Another street look of Irina, which is impossible to pass by: bright blue skinny, a juicy buttercup top and a cropped jacket made of mixed fabric: denim and chunky knit.

For gatherings in a cafe, a delicate white dress with a thick red cage is suitable. The lower part of this summer sundress has a flirty ruffle, and the upper part is decorated with a drawstring.

And the last bright street look is a lemon sundress made of light flowing fabric, forming a trapezoidal silhouette. Strapless, wrap-around, knee-length. One of those cases where simplicity and genius border on each other. Here again we see simple and practical summer shoes. The model walks in unchanged sunglasses, with a roomy bag and a minimum of jewelry.

But back to the red carpet. As noted above, at official events, Irina Shayk likes to appear in red - sometimes it concerns the color of lipstick, but more often - the color of the dress. As, for example, in the following case. We see a very short version on Irina, which suggests that the photo refers to the early period of the model's career. The cut is tight-fitting, the cut is quite simple, but the choice of fabric makes this dress interesting. There are no more bright details here: makeup in natural colors, there are no unnecessary decorative elements. Only one luxurious diamond bracelet complements the look.

And here are two other examples of Irina's appearance in public in a red dress. Both are significantly more winning by today's standards, demonstrating the evolution of Shayk's style.

Today, even if Irina chooses a length above the knee, it is still a sophisticated and balanced outfit. So, in the next photo, an example of the appearance of a model in this form at one of the social events. In the first image, we see a star in outerwear - this is a stylish coat in navy blue. In the second photo Irina is already without a coat, she is wearing an original dress with buttons, and his company is made up of open shoes with massive heels of juicy red color and a miniature clutch to match the shoes.

In conclusion, we bring to your attention some more delightful dresses in which Irina Shayk was seen on the red carpet. Irina is one of those women who have been shaping their style for years, improving it day after day. And today we can safely call her an icon of style and a heroine of her time. Any image. In which the legendary supermodel from Russia appears in public today, you can safely take note, because it is compiled according to all the laws of fashion!
