On Tuesday night, supermodel Irina Shayk returned to the runway at the Victoria Secret’s Fashion Show.

She donned a partially sheer black body suit adorned with silver stars, complimented by chunky silver earrings and metallic high heels. A train of stars trailed behind her as she walked.

This is Shayk’s first appearance on the Victoria’s Secret runway since 2016, in which she was concealing her baby bump. Then yet-to-be-announced, Shayk’s daughter Lea De Seine, whom she shares with ex Bradley Cooper, is now seven.

In 2016, Shayk wore gray lingerie under a trench coat with high black boots and a red fringe number with a flowing fit that disguised her baby bump. However, it was later confirmed that on the day of the show, Shayk was expecting a child.

Ahead of 2024’s show, Shayk remembered her previous experience speaking backstage with Entertainment Tonight: “I mean, last time I walked [a] Victoria’s Secret Show, I was four and a half, five months pregnant, so here we go. I’m back.”

She added that her daughter would probably be watching the show later.

Asked whether she and Cooper expected their daughter to have a career in modeling, Shayk shared, “Well, we say it’s most important to raise a nice and kind and loving child… and the rest doesn’t really matter.”

Shayk and Cooper’s relationship began in the spring of 2015, and Lea was born in April 2017. The couple separated in 2019. The two have remained close co-parents and frequently vacation together.

This is not Shayk’s most recent fashion show. In the fall of 2024, she appeared on the runway at Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks. On September 21, she also appeared at the Dolce & Gabbana spring/summer 2025 womenswear show.
