The Icon Behind the Dress: Irina Shayk

Introducing the sexy yet classic Irina Dress from our Little Black Dress Collection.

Inspired by icons and designed for today, the Little Black Dress Collection fluently fuses together contemporary design features with the classic LBD heritage. Combining iconic moments from the red carpet with the style of modern day It Girls, the focus of our own-label collection is timeless, show-stopping-style with a modern update.

Irina Shayk

Possibly one of the most naturally beautiful women in the world, it's no surprise that Irina Shayk with her glittering modelling career, is one of the icons for our Little Black Dress Collection. Her undisputed, natural talent for always looking sensational on the red carpet – or anywhere else for that matter – is second-to-none and her penchant for the LBD, only second to our love for the iconic dress.

Receiving international recognition after being contracted to be the face of Intimissimi lingerie in 2007 she was irrevocably thrust into the limelight, much to her delight. Her incredible modelling career has seen her photographed by distinguished photographers such as Mario Testino, Bruce Weber and Mario Sorrenti, to name a few, and she's also been the cover girl for Vogue, GQ, Harper's Bazaar and Elle. And then there's the famous five-year relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo that always elicited headlines!

Flawless style

Her style is a flawless sophisticated fusion of Old Hollywood Glamour and sizzling sexiness: for the red carpet think gowns with sheer details, thigh-high splits, seductive cut-outs or plunging necklines, for events it's slinky pencil dresses and LBDs with a twist.

So who better to take a style que from for our inspired by icons  Little Black Dress Collection than beauty Irina Shayk! With her penchant for the LBD and her love for unique, sexy lace details, we've created our very own Irina Dress – a sexy pencil style with a beautiful Bardot off-the-shoulder lace neckline. Perfect for the summer season ahead, this sultry neckline is perfectly on-trend and the perfect statement for the Races, weddings and events.

Let her sexy sophisticated style inspire you.
