                              Irina 
                              has been "Shayk'in" things up in the fashion 
                              world , proving that she is much more than a one 
                              cover wonder.
                              
                              Her career was already at a steady climb when she 
                              was announced as the 2011 SI Cover model, after 
                              that she gained a career super boost.
                            Through 
                              out the years we have seen models get that famous 
                              golden swimsuit cover who careers looked to be promising 
                              but only turn out to be one cover wonders. However 
                              when Shayk landed that golden swimsuit cover we 
                              knew it was only just a stepping stone milestone 
                              along the path of a moving career.
                            She's 
                              been SHAYK'in things up, most curvaceous supermodels 
                              are only seen as a swimsuit or lingerie model but 
                              not Irina Shayk. Yes we've seen her in those swimwear 
                              campaigns and she is the face of Italian lingerie 
                              brand Intimissimi. Yet, she also has appeared in 
                              dozens of fashion campaigns, her first fashion cover 
                              for ELLE Spain last November and on numerous fashion 
                              runways joining fellow supermodels such as Karolina 
                              Kurkova , Ana Beatriz Barros and Izabel Goulart 
                              just to name a few. 
                               
 
                              
                              She can glam it up with the best of them on the 
                              runway or red carpet. At just about every a-list 
                              red carpet event and premier Shayk has always easily 
                              been seen in the spotlight as one of the stars dressed

                            Beauty, 
                              fame and fashion was never something on the mind 
                              of Irina Shayk as a child growing up. She started 
                              playing piano at the age of six, then went on to 
                              music school and studied to become a classic pianist 
                              following in the foot steps of her classical pianist 
                              mother.
                              
                              Shayk's modeling career began in 2004 when she won 
                              the Miss Chelyabinsk beauty contest. She went on 
                              to model in Paris and made her first appearances 
                              in the 2007 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

                              has a charismatic fun sense of humor that many people 
                              have seen from her television interviews. One could 
                              wonder if she would also give acting a try in the
