Why we love Irina Shayk

It always seems strange to think of how some of these supermodels started out; for Irina Shayk it was a beauty pageant in the Russian city of Chelyabinsk. Modelling wasn’t some kind of first love for Irina though – she wanted to be a teacher of literature as a child because she liked making up stories and reading. What a waste of talent it would have been if she only ever stood up in front of a class of schoolkids.

Pushed on by her mum’s influence she went to a music school for seven years, and then started studying marketing at college but found it really boring so enrolled in a beauty school with her sister. In a twist of fate, next door to the school was a local modelling agency (convenient), and a scout noticed Irina, telling her to enter Miss Chelyabinsk 2004. She won, drew the attention of more scouts and within a year was modelling in Paris.

She started learning English and then started taking the modelling world by storm. In 2007 she became the face of Intimissimi lingerie, and also found herself appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition; a tradition she has continued for every year since, eventually winding up on the cover of the 2011 issue. Seeing as this section is called “Why we love Irina Shayk” we can categorically state that it’s because of her immense hotness and has got absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she’s going out with Cristiano Ronaldo. Nobody’s perfect.
