SI Swimsuit 2013: Irina Shayk

Russian-born model, Irina Shayk, has had a very long career as a model. When she landed the cover of the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, she caused quite a stir and not just because she was the first Russian model to achieve such an honor. Irina Shayk is of mixed ancestry; her father has Tatar (Turkic) ancestry and her mother is of the traditional Russian (East Slavic) ethnicity (Cohen, 2010; Britannica, 2023; WorldAtlas.com, 2023).

Here are some of my favorite SI Swimsuit photos of Irina Shayk from the 2013 issue photographed by Alex Cayley on location in Seville, Spain:
