26 year old Irina Shayk has appeared in every annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue since her debut in modelling, 5 years ago. Her unusual beauty landed her campaign after campaign with Intimissimi, Guess, Victoria’s Secret, Lacoste and Armani Exchange, and she’s also been in a Kayne West video in 2010. That was a good year for her, as she met her boyfriend Christiano Ronaldo back then. And while she still loves a good lingerie spread, like the one she recently did for underwear brands Lascana and La Clover, Shayk is taking her career to the next level. The model is the new host of Russia’s Next Top Model, and she tweeted: “I am so happy to be a host of new season Russia’s next top model!” So are we! It takes a true model to know what the industry is all about and to know how to advice the aspiring models from back home. Shayk has recently been spotted doing some shopping with a friend (Chanel and Max Mara bags were visible), donning hot Rag&Bone skinny jeans with leather and Gucci aviators from the FW12 collection.
