Just over a year ago, in October 2024, Irina Shayk graced the refreshing cover of Harper’s Bazaar France . Essential and natural, she posed without artifice, her piercing green eyes and nonchalant air radiating the authenticity that defines her. Twenty years ago, in 2005, she left her small mining town in the Ural Mountains of Russia to conquer Paris. Magnetic, Irina Shayk made a lasting impression, from the fashion capital to the United States. Forty years ago today, on January 6th, she was born. A world she would not leave indifferent.
A top model, she graces the runways of Versace, Burberry, and Schiaparelli , electrifying the catwalk. With almost mechanical strides, Irina Shayk’s presence is transcendent. A raw beauty, she captivates the lenses of the greatest fashion photographers, from Peter Lindbergh to Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, and Inez & Vinoodh. One name: Shaykhlislamova . For many, unpronounceable; for an entire industry, unforgettable. So much so that Irina’s pronunciation—proud of her Russian roots—became a TikTok trend , intertwined with the opening notes of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance .” Bold and ambitious, Irina Shayk is supreme.
Irina Shayk, an all-terrain style icon
A superstar, she shines on the steps of the Met Gala adorned with Swarovski diamonds, then on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet in a flowing midnight blue Armani Privé gown, on the arm of Riccardo Tisci. Vivienne Westwood, Burberry, Alaïa. The most coveted fashion designers and couture houses dress the model in monochrome looks with Hollywood glamour.
In New York, the city she calls home, the street is a catwalk. Her street style is captivating for its effortless chic, featuring leather pieces and animal prints. Whether in a head-to-toe denim look for an autumn stroll, in a striped slip dress between Fashion Week shows , or in a dark trench coat and zebra-print heeled boots, pushing her daughter Lea De Seine in a stroller. From urban elegance to couture chic, Irina Shayk is an ambassador of eclectic fashion.
