From Milan Fashion Week to Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.
After strutting her stuff on the runway at the Tod’s, Dolce & Gabbana and Blumarine shows in Italy, Irina Shayk, 39, touched down in Brazil to partake in the Carnival celebrations.
Designed by Henry Filho, her show-stopping look for the parade included feathered wings — a nod to her time as a Victoria’s Secret model — along with an embellished bikini top and bottom and a sarong dripping with sapphire-colored crystals.
Shayk turned up the drama further with her matching bejeweled headpiece, glittering choker, multiple arm cuffs and thigh-high, crystal-encrusted gladiator sandals.
Marking her first time at the world’s biggest Carnival celebration, Shayk shared her excitement on Instagram ahead of the event.
“Humbled to be part of the parade tonight …Nervous and excited! 🇧🇷BRAZIL, I love you! Thank you for the warmest welcome. What a great opportunity to be here, celebrating life and love!💙,” she captioned a racy picture of herself laying in bed wearing nothing but her ensemble’s choker and arm cuffs.
She later described the experience as “a dream.”
“I can’t believe this is real…BRAZIL, thank you SO MUCH for the love you gave me! RIO, you have been so magical!!!🇧🇷,” she wrote in the caption of an Instagram carousel that included snaps from the festivities.
“Incredible,” commented fellow catwalker Emily Ratajkowski, while Parisian designer Ludovic de Saint Sernin said, “HOT 💙💙💙.”
You can always count on Shayk to deliver an unforgettable fashion moment.
