See Irina Over the Past Year

On February 28, 2025, Shayk walked the runway for the Tod’s Ready-to-wear Fall-Winter 2025/2026 collection show during Milan Fashion Week in Italy. Wearing her long, dark hair down and natural makeup, she looked fabulous as she modeled the brand’s new pieces. For instance, one look involved the star popping on a caramel brown leather coat as well as a matching scarf. Beyond that, she wore snakeskin boots and carried a large red bag.
GettyShayk also walked the runway for the Dolce & Gabbana Womenswear Fall/Winter 2025/2026 show during Milan Fashion Week on March 1, 2025. Again, appearing to wear a leather coat, she also had a winter hat on, although the rest of her ensemble was rather revealing and wouldn’t be much help against chilly weather.
GettyShayk showed up in a striking black gown while attending the “Dossier 137” (Case 137) red carpet at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival on May 15, 2025. While the dress was stunning on its own, she also opted to wear long, sheer gloves and a few key pieces of jewelry.
GettyFans were also sure to spot Shayk when she appeared in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York City on October 15, 2025, while the model helped to show off the famous brand’s newest pieces.
GettyShayk Says Aging Is ‘All About Personality’
GettyWhen it comes to getting older, Shayk has a few thoughts that revolve around improving as one ages and how a person’s attitude can affect their situation.
“I think women are like a good wine: better with age, wiser and [make] better decisions in life,” Shayk told People in October 2019.
“I think a woman just has to feel she never ages inside,” she added.
The model also noted, “It’s all about personality. It’s all about how you take life in and send the energy out there.”
