Irina Shayk clapped back at critics of her "lion dress" at a recent fashion show on Instagram.
In the post, the model shared some photos of herself getting dressed, including a totally topless mirror selfie that showed off her sculpted abs, arms, and legs.
Irina doesn't really like to go on runs, but she finds other ways to get her cardio in.
Irina Shayk is defending the Schiaparelli fashion show that featured embroidered lion heads by roaring back at critics in a new Instagram post.
ICYMI, the Paris Fashion Week show featured custom gowns adorned with, well, life-sized lion heads. Photos of Kylie Jenner in the same piece have also gone viral. But Irina, who walked in the show, shared her own thoughts around the catty comments she received about her frock.
“I support these incredible artists who worked tirelessly, with their hands, using wool, silk, and foam, to sculpt this embroidered Lion and image of Pride, An image that @schiaparelli invokes while exploring themes of strength," she captioned her post. "I am honored to have been called on as well to lend my art as a woman to this @danielroseberry 🖤."
Fans and friends supported the supermodel in the comments, with one person writing, “Yes, beautiful[ly] said. Couture artist screate such wonder with their specialized skills ❤️.” Another simply commented, “The lion queen.”
Lion controversy aside, Irina is undeniably fierce and strong while strutting the runway. And in one photo, she showed a pre-show moment where she is topless and all kinds of sculpted.
If you're curious to know more about Irina's workout routines, she told Women's Health in 2016 that while cardio is key, she really isn't into running. “I hate traditional cardio,” she said. “Running is my worst nightmare, so I’ve had to find something I enjoy that gets me all the calorie-burning benefits of cardio without boring me to death.”
For Irina, that cardio solution involves jiu jitsu.“It’s great,” Irina said. “Because there’s so many possible move combinations, it’s brilliant for constantly challenging my body and pushing it to exhaustion every time.”
When she's not working out, Irina told W Magazine that she often settles in for an infrared sauna sesh. “This is my new obsession,” she told the outlet. “My friend introduced me to it. It heats you up from the inside. You get rid of toxins from the inside out. It makes you really sweat, but it’s not workout sweat. I go once or twice a week when I’m in New York, and I feel like that’s my workout.” Excuse me while I add that to my wellness check list.
Irinia is certainly strong and confident these days, but shared a bit about her journey with self confidence with W Magazine back in 2019.
“I’ve gone through stages and phases. When I was 15, I was skinny and kids always made fun of me. I wore high heels, and they’d say, ‘Sticks walking.’ I think we all go through stages in life, and it’s a great thing because it’s a learning process. You learn about your character, yourself, how to be confident, and how to stick with your decisions,” she said.
Irina added: “Sometimes it’s hard, but it’s all about the learning process. When you fall, you get up and keep walking. It’s like babies—that’s how they learn to walk. They keep falling and falling, and then they are walking. It’s just life.
Now that’s a philosophy I can get behind! Preach, Irina!
