Irina Shayk’s Brazil-Soaked Glamour for Vogue

The cover shot itself sets the tone: she wears a sheer black blazer-like top with a beige bustier underneath, a daring nod to innerwear as outerwear. The image is a study in contrasts—the tough tailoring of the blazer against the delicate lace, the casual Brazilian setting against the fierce, high-fashion gaze.

Inside, the story unfolds with a visual punch. One image sees her against a stunning ocean vista, hair tousled by the wind, with her shoulders draped by what appear to be two patent leather, pointed-toe heels—a surreal, avant-garde styling choice that feels both playful and subversive. It’s a look that dares you to ask, “Is that a dress or a dream?” In another shot, she’s perched poolside in a striking red and black draped ensemble, a chunky gold bracelet on her wrist adding a touch of old-world opulence. The final, indoor shot is a riot of texture: a buttery yellow knit sweater paired with a whimsical, multi-colored tiered fur skirt. The look is unexpected, a playful maximalism that somehow still feels right at home in the sleek, mid-century modern interior.
