Supermodel Irina Shayk is mostly known for two things: being one of the most in-demand models for mega-brands such as SI Swim and Victoria’s Secret, and her A-list romances with heavyweights such as Tom Brady and Bradley Cooper (with whom she shares daughter Lea, 8).
So for her milestone 40th birthday, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue revisited her “best” steamy pics with the brand.
And the gallery of scorching pics includes some major showstoppers.
As does the article and gallery focused on her Tahiti shoot — which includes her soaking wet in a teeny string bikini, standing inches from a sting ray, and pulling off a very risky top made of two strategically places starfish.
“Shayk capped off her commanding 10-year stint with the magazine in Tahiti, where she joined Gigi Hadid, Rose Bertram, Hannah Jeter and Bo Krsmanovic on the tropical seaside set,” reads the article in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. “After her run of era-defining shoots—like her 2012 feature in Zambia where she posed with a cheetah and her striking cover photo shoot one year prior in Hawai’i—the model continued to elevate her game in Tahiti.

“On location, the model took her craft to new heights. Fearless, Shayk braved the shark-filled turquoise waters for the striking shot below, which featured a special appearance from a massive stingray. And yet, Shayk handled the shoot’s unprecedented guest stars like a pro—because that’s exactly what she is.”
