Irina Shayk on Rihanna

As the first Russian model to appear on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2011, Irina Shayk has made history for herself and her home country, too. She has been ranked an Industry Icon by Models.com for her contributions. After doing swimwear work for a bit, Shayk switched over to high fashion modeling. Some of her credits and projects include being on the cover of Elle magazine in November 2010 and being awarded the Best International Model of 2010 by Glamour Spain.

It seems that Rihanna is a crowd favorite, with many fellow women crushing on her. Irina Shayk is no exception. We can name many good qualities of the singer, and her singing prowess will always be at the top of the list. Shayk liked her so much she even channeled her inner Rihanna during one of her walks in Fenty.
