Irina Shayk

The success story of Irina Shayk recalls the 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?

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

Irina was born on January 6, 1986. The provincial town in the Chelyabinsk region - Emanzhelinsk became the small homeland of Shayk. By the way, Shake is a model alias. The real name that the girl inherited from her parents is Shaykhlislamova. 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 survived the loss of her father, he died when the girl was still attending school. Since then, the mother of the family worked for two to provide daughters with everything necessary. And little Ira studied hard, she was an excellent student - she inherited industriousness from the pope. Musical talents passed from mother to girl: Irina owned the piano and demonstrated good vocal abilities.

Like any modern girl, Irina from childhood dreamed of moving from a remote province to a big city. And as soon as she graduated from high school, she went to Chelyabinsk together with her older sister. And since the inherited girl also inherited from the pope a delightful oriental beauty, happiness did not take long to wait.The proposal for a modeling career overtook Irina right on the street, almost immediately after her move to the big city.

It sounds like a fairy tale, but it really was. While walking along one of the Chelyabinsk streets, Irina attracted the attention of the employees of the local Svetlana image club. Seeing the young beauty, the model agency workers without hesitation approached Irina and invited her to the casting. The girl accepted this proposal, successfully passed all the selection tests and immediately began working in the image studio over her modeling career.

Constant participation in a variety of beauty contests has become the baptism of Irina. She learned to walk beautifully, apply makeup, her style of dress radically changed. And literally in the first year of her tireless work, the 18-year-old beauty became popular throughout her native country. First, the girl won the palm at the regional stage of the contest "Supermodel" in 2004.

It would seem that we should go further to the final of the competition, to Moscow. It was such an offer to Irina that her Chelyabinsk agency made. But the girl decided to do her own way. She went to Moscow for the contest, but as a guest. There, the girl lingered for a long time, got 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 meeting with the president of the international modeling agency Grace models world - Gia Dzhikinze. It was he who became the main culprit for the fact that Irina's pictures fell on 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 Sheik in the popular men's magazine “Maxim”.

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

Irina is developing not only in modeling, she still appears in films, is a philanthropist, does not refuse television projects, where she acts as a presenter.

From the moment she moved to Moscow, Irina Sheik was in the center of the party: she constantly appeared at shows and parties associated with the modeling business. But metropolitan luxury, glamor and brilliance of the chosen profession did not break the character of the provincial girl. Irina went to these events as to work: she maintained her image, made useful contacts.

Even becoming a world celebrity, Irina does not get tired to conquer new heights. So, in December 2016, Shake took part in the Victoria's Secret show for the first time, and was even unanimously recognized as the best model for this defile. But Irina did not achieve this right away: years earlier, the model was twice refused to participate in this prestigious show.

Very picky in men, Irina very young was very attentive to the choice of a gentleman. So, the first serious and significant in her life became a romance with the world football star - Cristiano Ronaldo. The couple lasted 5 years, but it never came to the wedding. Therefore, the relationship cooled, and ended at all - with 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 connection a “passing affair,” but very soon the couple announced their engagement.

In December 2016, it became known that Shake was expecting a child from Bradley, so that the wedding would have to wait. By the way, Irina took part in that same Victoria's Secret fashion show, 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 several years ago, the couple decided that if a boy is born, they will call him Charles, and if the girl is called Charlie. For Irina, marriage with Bradley will be the first, but her future husband will go down the aisle for the second time.

Today, at 31, Irina still looks charming and youthful. 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 the model dossier of Irina reads: the parameters of the figure 88-58-90, height 178 cm, weight 55 kg.

Now Shake is just at the age when natural beauty must be protected and maintained, before it is too late. But the model, by its own admission, is not ready for radical intervention. Moreover, she always categorically denies plastic surgery, always attributed to the beauty. Shake openly advocates for natural beauty.

Of course, there is no data to 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 today's photographs, it is difficult not to find differences in some features of her face. In particular, we are talking about the nose of a beautiful woman. Although, even if we assume that the operation was, then the beauty of Irina both before and after the “plastic surgery” can hardly be doubted.

By the way, Irina generously shares the secrets of caring for 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.
• Favorite Irina Shayk among all the options in the make-up - only a 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.

Throughout her career, constant changes have been observed in the wardrobe of the supermodel: from a Russian provincial girl, she turned into a luxurious American lady. Clothing in the images of Irina Shayk in one or another period of her life perfectly reflects the status of the model.

The street style of Irina, which she demonstrated already becoming a world star, is the best examples of style that young girls all over the world are equal to. Here you can draw one important rule: it is important to use materials that are considered classics of style that are timeless when creating bows. For casual, these are leather, delicate knitwear and jeans.

The first image, which we will consider, looks very restrained and even worthy to be called a classic, because it is designed in black and white. The textures here are combined in bright contrast: the dense skin is adjacent to the thin knitted worn to holes. There are a lot of opposites here: the half boots are equipped with an open toe, the jacket is short in length - these seemingly autumn-spring attributes are actually a summer variation of warm clothes and shoes.

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

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

The next ensemble is an example of a successful combination of textures such as leather and fur. The model combines a voluminous motley vest with adjacent plain top and bottom.It also uses high boots with stable soles, which makes this outfit not only beautiful, but also comfortable. In such an ensemble, you can make long walks or shopping.

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 images we see black tight-fitting trousers, a top of a similar style and color, as well as a satin white jacket with one button. In this form - without the use of jewelry, with hair smoothly gathered back - this image is an excellent office option for every day. But if you add an evening hairstyle, large earrings, rings and bracelets, then in this outfit you can go to a social event.

Many swarthy girls like to create spectacular contrasts, wearing white outfits. And Irina is no exception to this rule. Let's consider some of the most successful options. The first of them is a cocktail jumpsuit. This outfit with an open back, a seductive neckline and floor length allows you to demonstrate the virtues of an ideal figure, while remaining within the bounds of decency. And the presence of convenient pockets makes this 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 current “linen” trend. A medium-length combination dress made of satin fabric is generally quite simple, but very seductive due to the deep neckline. There is only one remark to Shake: under such a dress, you just need to wear a silicone bra. Otherwise, everything was perfectly matched: a black jacket, a miniature clutch of the same color, shoes - also black, and they are always elegant boats with a thin stiletto heel.

Basque, fur, large jewelry - these are the three main components of the third white image from Irina Shayk. A delightful sheath dress has a bustier style, but the shoulders in this outfit are chastely covered with a fur cape. Everything is beautiful in the image: restrained make-up, soft pink manicure and delightfully harmoniously selected jewelry. A giant ring and a fancy necklace are ideally combined both with each other and with the outfit as a whole.

Shocking images are also characteristic of Irina Shayk. In the following photos we will see an example of how to wear a “half-naked” dress. Bright contrasting combinations of fragments of dense black fabric with mesh were used here. Of course, it suits exclusively the owners of an impeccable figure. It is worth recognizing that even though such an outfit is very controversial, Irina in it looks simply magnificent: both elegant and original.

You can not say about the samples of her outfits of a more ancient period. Take at least this street bow. It seems that absolutely everything is tasteless in it: stretch jeans of a dubious shade, a vulgar transparent top, a pretty bare-chested bra, an ordinary-looking jacket. Such an outfit betrays a girl from a remote Russian remote place. Such bows should be used only as fashionable anti-examples.

Fortunately, there are much more exponential outfits in Irina’s arsenal. For example, here is such a practical outfit in the spirit of the 1970s: tanned leather coats, half-boots with pointed noses in tone with the coat, classic flared jeans and a knitted turtleneck aimed at them.

The next bow is an example of the refined style of Irina Shayk. It is suitable for a modern business woman: a delightful two-piece trouser suit of white color, a fitted jacket, trousers with a light flare.

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

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

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

Irina’s ability to wear elegantly even almost completely translucent things is not observed for the first time. Sky blue color, original lace pattern and a hem that is traditional for a shake, opening the gaze of perfectly folded legs surrounding it.

Street casual from Irina - it’s though simple, but very balanced outfits. Here, for example, we again see a model in tight knit leggings. A loose T-shirt, coquettishly tied and exposing a navel, in flat sandals and a baseball cap - Shake's favorite headdress.

A world-famous model can go for a walk with a dog in a simple summer sundress, or in a short tight-fitting dress, or in a trouser overalls of a combined cut. In the first case, consider a fun summer option in a la hippie colors. This simple but vibrant little thing is the main and only element that should attract attention. Shoes and accessories are unremarkable.

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

The same accessories roam perfectly in the next image for walking with a dog - in the photo Irina in a simple and comfortable jumpsuit, perfect for a walk on a hot summer day.

The latter option is more spectacular. This is a seductive blue dress of a fitting cut and all the same, especially loved by Irina Shayk, sky blue. The dress is made of dense fabric, keeps its shape perfectly, although it has a tight-fitting silhouette. Particularly noteworthy is the performance of the short sleeve. Shoes for such walking alongside Irina picked up more refined than we observed on previous bows.

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

Denim shorts are another frequent supermodel choice. And a white T-shirt in such an outfit often throws itself onto 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 without black glasses. And she does it only in one case - if she puts on her beloved baseball cap!

And here the star of the catwalks is obviously in a hurry for a day's cocktail: a delightful dress, short and tight, with an original cut, she put on a model with open shoes on a low stiletto heel, and in the hand of a beautiful woman - a refined clutch bag - an invariable look of a handbag for “exit” cases .

You can easily go shopping in late spring or early autumn in such an outfit offered by Shake: skinny jeans, a short coat-jacket with an adjacent silhouette and hunters who are extremely relevant for more than a season - stylish rubber boots.

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

In the company of black color - the main component of the outfit - the model allows itself animal prints in furs in the cold season. Here we also see sexy corset-laced stocking boots - a thing from the arsenal of every fatal seducer.

Purely black images are also not alien to Irina. She often wears total black, as, for example, in this case: a skinny suit costume and a furry short fur coat. In the photo, only the bag fails - the skin shines in a parish way in the rays of day color and gives off in gray.

Speaking of gray, in it the model looks no less stylish and charming. For example, as in the following image: here in gray a trendy jacket of shortened length with a fur trim of the collar is made.

Another great option for the case of “popping out for milk”: a summer sundress-maxi on thin straps with a stylish V-neck and a geometric print repeating this form.

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

Another street bow of Irina, which is impossible to pass: bright blue skinny, a juicy buttercup top and a shortened jacket from a combination fabric: denim and knitwear of large knitting.

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

And the last bright street image is a lemon sundress made of light flowing fabric, forming a trapezoid silhouette. The product is strapless, with a smell, length to the knee. One of those cases where simplicity and genius border on each other. Here we again see simple and practical summer shoes. The model steps in invariable sunglasses, with a capacious 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, and this suggests that the photo refers to the early period of the model’s career. The cut is fitting, the style is quite simple, but the choice of fabric makes this dress interesting. There are no more vivid details: make-up in natural tones, no excessive decorative elements. Only one luxurious diamond bracelet is an addition to the image.

And here are two other examples of the appearance of Irina in public in a red dress. Both by today's standards are much more winning, demonstrate the evolution of the Shake 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 the model in this form at one of social events. In the first image, we observe a star in outer clothing - this is a stylish coat in a dark blue tone. In the second photo, Irina is already without a coat, she is wearing an original dress with buttons, and the company is made up of open shoes with a massive heel of juicy red color and a miniature clutch in the tone of shoes.

In conclusion, we bring to your attention some more amazing dresses in which Irina Shayk was spotted 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 you can safely call her an icon of style and the heroine of her time. Any image. In which the legendary supermodel from Russia appears today in public, you can safely take note, because it is made up according to all the laws of fashion!
