Irina Shayk

For many of us, being stuck in a train for three straight days is like a prison sentence. But for Irina Shayk (also Sheik), it’s the road to glory. Born Irina Shaykhlislamova – yeah, good luck pronouncing that, she was on her way to Moscow on a three-day train ride when a fashion executive spotted her. The seed of stardom was planted and what a beautiful flower she turned out to be. Irina has been featured in Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue in 2007 and 2009 so that pretty much validates her credentials as one of the world’s hottest models. Oh, if you’re wondering how you’d pronounce her last time, just use Sheik or Shayk, she won’t mind. Many thanks to on205th for the find!
