Irina Shayk, the ex-girlfriend of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, attracted attention with her nearly nude photoshoot. The supermodel’s daring style quickly sparked controversy.

According to The Sun, supermodel Irina Shayk has become the center of attention after appearing on the cover and in a new fashion photoshoot for V Magazine. Specifically, in the photoshoot by photographer Steven Klein, the Russian model pursues a fashion style inspired by bondage, combining artistry, provocation, and strong visual elements. Of course, this type of photography is not for everyone, so there will be mixed opinions.

In many frames, Irina Shayk is almost naked, only wearing a leather robe, combined with metal accessories, studded necklaces, and high boots. The details are intentionally arranged, creating a strapping effect that most noticeably emphasizes the “rebellious” nature of the photoshoot. Other frames capture moments of Irina Shayk wearing a black leather mask, appearing next to a motorcycle or standing in front of a metal backdrop, contributing to the edgy and powerful tone.

Immediately after its release, the photoshoot sparked intense controversy. Many expressed disappointment, deeming the concept overly provocative. Some even questioned Irina Shayk’s reasons for agreeing to pose for the photos. Conversely, many fans defended Irina Shayk, arguing that the photos reflected the experimental fashion spirit and individuality she has pursued for many years.

Some comments praised the supermodel’s figure, demeanor, and style at age 40. Previously, Irina Shayk shared in V Magazine that this character represents wild femininity – strong, fearless, and living life to the fullest.

Irina Shayk, born in 1986, rose to fame after becoming the first Russian model to appear on the cover of the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. This success marked a significant turning point in her career, transitioning her from swimsuit modeling to high fashion.

The Russian model was one of the standout faces at the recent Victoria’s Secret Show 2025. Irina Shayk became even more well-known due to her past relationships with several big names in international entertainment and sports.

Irina Shayk dated Cristiano Ronaldo from 2010 to 2015, which helped her gain widespread recognition. Afterward, she was romantically involved with actor Bradley Cooper and they had a daughter together before separating in 2019. More recently, the supermodel is rumored to have dated former NFL star Tom Brady. However, Irina Shayk is probably still single, so she dedicates all her time to her work.
