Cristiano Ronaldo's ex-girlfriend wears a bold open dress in New York

Russian model Irina Shayk chooses her looks in a style that is not devoid of boldness, whether on the red carpet or fashion show platforms. Between striking geometric designs and bold dresses inspired by the archives of fashion houses, Shayk moves between various options that reflect her own style in fashion.

In her most recent appearance during the 2026 Wall Street Journal Innovators Awards, which was held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, Shayk chose a white dress from the fall and winter 2026 ready-to-wear collection from the Japanese house Issey Miyake. The design came with an off-the-shoulder cut, an open back, and a defined structure at the top, with two pieces of fabric draped in the front.

The two looks at the “Victoria’s Secret” show. This boldness was not limited to her looks outside the catwalks, but it was also present in Shayk’s choices during the presentation of the women’s underwear brand “Victoria’s Secret”, as she returned to the catwalk in October 2026, in her fourth participation, after her first appearance in 2016. The model presented two different looks; The first was in light pink, and combined a lace bra with a flowing transparent piece, while the second was characterized by a showy nature, with large white wings of feathers and a white lace piece, with black underwear and long socks.

As for the 83rd Venice Film Festival, Shayk presented a group of looks that reflected her interest in archival designs and unconventional cuts. One of her most prominent choices is a black satin dress dating back to the spring and summer 2003 collection from the Italian house Dolce & Gabbana. It was distinguished by wide side slits and criss-cross ties that extended on both sides of the body, revealing parts of the skin and underwear, with black stockings that reached the knee.

She also chose a look from the archives of the Italian house "Givenchy" dating back to the fall and winter 2015 collection, which included a short jacket decorated with dense embroidery and black pants. In another appearance during the festival, she wore a black dress with a flowing, asymmetrical cut, with a side tail and an opening at the back.

Boldness in two different styles With the variety of her bold choices, the comparison between Shayk and Argentine Georgina Rodriguez, the wife of Portuguese football player Cristiano Ronaldo, is highlighted, especially since Shayk was previously associated with him before his relationship with Rodriguez. The comparison reveals the difference in their style in choosing looks and expressing boldness through fashion.

When looking at their choices, we notice that each of them adopts boldness in a different style. While Rodriguez tends in many of her looks to cuts that highlight the chest area, and complements her choices with striking jewelry, Shayk tends to highlight other details, such as the exposed back and unconventional cuts, while limiting herself to a limited number of accessories and jewelry.

The difference also appears in the details of beauty; The Russian model tends towards simpler hairstyles and makeup, while Rodriguez often opts for strong makeup and more elaborate hairstyles.
