Irina Shayk has revealed what life really looks like behind the runway, sharing a colorful collection of photos and videos from her latest fashion adventures.
The 40-year-old supermodel has been especially busy this season, appearing in shows for major international designers. At the end of September, she took part in Milan Fashion Week before continuing her runway schedule in Paris at the beginning of October.
Now, the former partner of Bradley Cooper has gathered some of her favorite recent moments into one carousel, mixing glamorous fashion images with footage captured away from the main stage.
Instead of showing only the polished final result seen by audiences, Irina offered followers a glimpse behind the scenes — from preparations and backstage moments to encounters with other famous faces.
One particularly memorable photograph featured Shayk alongside tennis star Aryna Sabalenka, who also took part in Vogue World in Milan.
Irina even found herself taking on the role of runway coach. Behind the scenes, the experienced model helped Sabalenka with her catwalk technique and showed her how to master a model’s walk before the tennis star stepped out for the show.
“A little bit of work,” Shayk simply wrote alongside her collection of photos and videos.

Her followers were delighted by the rare backstage access. Comments praised Irina as a “runway queen,” while others called her one of the best models on the catwalk and noted how naturally she carries the dramatic fashion looks chosen for her.
Shayk and Sabalenka’s connection has also extended beyond their appearance together in Milan. Irina previously addressed the tennis player publicly following the US Open final, where Sabalenka lost to Elena Rybakina, the Moscow-born player who represents Kazakhstan.
For Irina, however, the latest post was less about one particular runway and more about everything surrounding her hectic fashion season — giving followers a closer look at the work, personalities and spontaneous moments that usually remain hidden once the lights go up.
