Story summary

Irina Shayk, a Russian model, reflects on her debut at the 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, where she walked the runway while pregnant. She wore a fringed and beaded bodysuit and a gray lacy lingerie set with a trench coat that concealed her baby bump. Shayk returned to the show again in 2024 and 2025, and this year marks her fourth appearance at the event. Her daughter, Lea De Seine, is now nine years old, born during her first pregnancy with ex-partner Bradley Cooper. When asked about a possible modeling career for her daughter, Shayk joked that they would discuss it later. Shayk cites sexy lingerie, fun backstage interactions, and camaraderie among models as reasons for returning to the show year after year.
