On the same day her Harper’s Bazaar cover story was published, Russian bombshell Irina Shayk donned black leather hot pants for a spring walk with her six-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine Cooper, in Manhattan on Thursday.
The 37-year-old society management model completed her leggy look with a raspberry bomber jacket over a black and white Tupac t-shirt and knee-high leather boots.
“Sometimes I wake up and I feel sweet and I’m like, ‘Oh, should I post these pictures on social media? A voice says, “Oh, but people will say, ‘You’re a mom.'” And I’m like, “But what does that mean?” Irina told the magazine.
“My example is Emily Ratajkowski. Always sexy and feminine, she’s all about loving your body. Maybe I’m not so vocal about it, but I’m totally on the same page. You’re a mom, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go outside in a tiny skirt or hang a sexy picture.”
Shayk (born Shaykhlislamova) shares legal and physical custody of little Lea 50/50 with her ex-fiancé, nine-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper.

The dimpled brunette and the Philadelphia-born, 48-year-old might have ended their four-year relationship amicably in 2019, but they vacationed together last August and shared a public hug on November 7.
“My daughter is a big part of why I started loving myself even more,” Irina gushed.
“She’ll say, ‘I love daddy so much. I love mom so much. i love nana I love Babulya’ – who is my mother. Then she says, “And I really love me.” And I look at my daughter and I’m like, “Wow, I wasn’t like that when I was six.” The most important thing is to instill in our daughter greater values than being pretty on the outside.”
Shayk continued, “We teach our daughter that the most important thing is to be kind to people. Every time we send her to school, we say, “Just remember kindness and love.” So I think that’s what true beauty is. It’s not about putting on masks, putting on make-up, brushing your hair, putting on nice clothes.
“With TikTok and Instagram and social media, my daughter is growing up in a different environment than me, so it kind of scares me at times. But the most important thing is to instill in our daughter greater values than being pretty on the outside.”
On Wednesday, the former VS/SI swimsuit beauty showcased her phenomenal 5ft 10 figure on the runway at the H&M and Mugler fashion show at the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan.
Casey Cadwallader, Creative Director at Mugler, led the launch of the collection, which will be available in select H&M stores and online from May 11th.
Irina spent the past weekend with Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio where they enjoyed Levi’s Neon Carnival in Thermal, CA on Saturday followed by the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA on Sunday.
The 48-year-old former child star, who was last linked to IMG model Gigi Hadid, is a habitual modelist who has loved and dumped beauties like Camila Morrone, Nina Agdal, Kelly Rohrbach, Blake Lively, Rihanna, Gisele Bundchen and Bar Refaeli .
“My example is Emily Ratajkowski”: On the same day, Irina said in her Harper’s Bazaar cover story that just because she’s a mom doesn’t mean she “can’t go outside in a tiny skirt or hang a sexy picture.”

Irina continued: “We teach our daughter that the most important thing is to be kind to people. Every time we send her to school we say, “Just remember kindness and love.” Well I think that’s what real beauty is… most importantly, instilling greater values in our daughter than looking pretty on the outside to be” (picture dated February 23)
