Irina Brought Every Girl’s Favourite Summer Outfit Combo To Cannes

Previously a purveyor of the naked dress – who looked ready for anything, whether the red carpet, gym or racing track – in chunky trainers and speed demon-style, don’t-look-at-me sunglasses.

Despite standing out in a sea of silk gowns and strapless silhouettes, Irina’s wardrobe seems to be taking notes from every girl in London. Whatever the borough, whatever the weather, on any street in the capital you’ll likely spot someone sporting the classic summer combo of floaty silk dress and trainers. Of course, the vibe varies, but the trainer remains a constant staple, no matter the weather.

Irina’s penchant for rich mum dressing is well documented and this isn’t the first time she’s taken style cues from the Brits. Her autumnal wardrobe was a nod to all things Jilly Cooper: think Rivals-appropriate riding boots and a miniskirt. She’s also staying firmly on trend with a pair of massive sunglasses, the “9pm to 9am” essential that’s your secret weapon for unpredictable summer days, perfect for shielding from the sun or hiding bleary eyes from the night before. What happens in Cannes stays in Cannes, right?
