Our compatriot Irina Shayk increasingly appears in front of the lenses. Fashion news headlines are full of her name; the girl managed to become a trendsetter and win the hearts of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bradley Cooper. Today I will tell you how it reached these heights and how it influences trends.
Path to fame
It is generally accepted that all models are either daughters of rich parents, or girls who managed to get married successfully. But Irina was able to achieve everything herself. And not with other people’s millions, but thanks to hard work, perseverance and amazing fortitude.
She was born in the small mining town of Yemanzhelinsk in the Chelyabinsk region. Irina came from a poor family - her mother gave piano lessons, and her father worked in a mine. They fed mainly from their own garden. It became really difficult when the girl turned 14 - her father died of lung cancer, and her mother was forced to go to hard work. At school, the girl was teased for being thin and tall.The future model was not at all popular with boys.

After school, she moved to Chelyabinsk and became a student at the College of Economics. Following her sister Tatyana, Irina went to a modeling agency. Already at 18, she won the “Supermodel” competition and received an invitation to the Supermodel of Russia in Moscow.
It was there that the girl was noticed by fashion scout Gia Dzhikidze. He invited Irina to work in Paris. At that time, Shayk was not yet thinking about a modeling career, but her family needed money. And that’s why it went to Europe so late for model 19.
The girl had a hard time in the romantic capital. She lived in a small room, ate only rice and survived in the cut-throat, competitive modeling world. But innate perseverance played a role.
Now Irina is among the TOP 10 most attractive models in the world. She acts in films, participates in fashion shows and was married to the famous actor Bradley Cooper, to whom she gave birth to a beautiful daughter. Our compatriot also sets her own trends.
Irina's influence
Shayk is a true trendsetter. She manages to look great in any weather, at any time of the day. The girl often shares her fashion techniques and reveals the secrets of her own wardrobe.
Over the knee boots
There is nothing better than boots for those with long and slender legs. Irina can be seen wearing them all year round. She wears these shoes under both a dress and an autumn coat. Moreover, among all brands, she prefers Versace.

The model often tries on crazy looks - she either picks up boots in the style of comics, or puts on shiny shoes, combining them with a bright dress.
Total black
Irina Shayk, if she didn’t start the fashion for all-black looks, certainly contributed to its popularization. The girl can often be seen in monochrome looks.

Most often, the model is spotted in a tight mini-dress, leather boots and a voluminous coat.
Dress-robe
It was Irina who introduced the fashion for this style, walking around in this outfit all spring and summer. A long dress made of light, “flying” fabric with a wrap, a small belt emphasizing the waist - any girl will look impressive with such a bow.
Irina combines this look with simple sandals without heels and a bright handbag. Practical and stylish.

Birkin Hermès bag
Another “trick” of Irina’s style was her signature handbag. She has a whole collection of Birkin accessories in her wardrobe in all sorts of colors and sizes. The girl is often seen wearing a classic, elegant Birkin Hermès.
The model goes with her to a fashion show and for a walk with her beloved daughter.
Beige is the color of the season
Irina Shayk has a honey-toned skin tone, so beige looks perfect on her. That is why she can often be seen in a monochrome beige look. A universal color suitable for both a walk and a formal event.
