Model Irina Shayk holds the heavy title of Kanye West 's first girlfriend since his divorce from Kim Kardashian . The two were confirmed to have started dating as early as March and have been spotted returning from romantic vacations together . According to a source from Us Weekly , the couple " are in a honeymoon, lovey-dovey phase right now, they're getting to know each other and having a lot of fun. It's not serious yet, but they like each other a lot."
Irina Shayk comes from humble beginnings, growing up in the small town of Yemanzhelinsk with her mother and sister after losing her father at age 14. She was scouted by a local modeling agency as a teenager and was asked to participate in the Miss Chelyabinsk pageant where she earned the title of 'Miss Chelyabinsk 2004'.
Her newfound pageant title opened up the opportunity to partner with Italian brand Intimissimi, which lead her to work with huge brands such as Guess and Victoria's Secret. The infamous IMG Models signed Irina in 2009, and two years later Irina became the first Russian model to have her own cover of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
Kanye and Irina are speculated to have first connected when she appeared in his 2010 video for "Power". The two likely maintained a professional relationship after the shoot, as Irina walked for his 2012 pre- Yeezy era fashion show under his own name.
For the last decade, Irina has walked the runway for countless fashion brands and graced over 30 Vogue covers. In 2016, the model made her acting debut alongside Dwayne Johnson for the film Hercules.
My New Favorite Olympian, Episode 3: Surfer Caroline Marks – NBC 7 San Diego
Whatever you call Caroline Marks... never call her an underachiever. At 15, she became the youngest person to qualify for the World Surf League's Championship Tour. At 17, she became the first female surfer to receive equal prize money to her male counterpart. At 18, she booked a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue . And at 19, she's an advocate for body positivity and eyeing the first-ever Olympic surfing gold medal when the sport makes its Olympic debut in Tokyo.
In this episode Marks shares how growing up in the public eye was particularly difficult as her every physical change was scrutinized across social media and trolls started sexualizing her by making inappropriate comments about her body.
"There can be a thousand great comments and then like that one bad one," she said. "And that's exactly what happened to me. And you obviously focus on the one bad one, which is which is sad, but it's true."
" It was it was tricky, you know, qualifying at 15. And I think you at 15, you know, you kind of become this little girl that becomes a woman and your body's changing and all these things are happening and hormones and things like that. And you're kind of like, whoa, what's going on? "
Victoria's Secret has replaced its 'Angels' in a bid to rebrand itself
Victoria’s Secret (VS) has been a brand synonymous with its supermodels known as ‘Angels’ who remarkably strut the runway in their bombshell outfits, huge glitzy wings and sky-high heels. Started back in 1977, the American lingerie, beauty and clothing retailer was notorious for its iconic supermodels dubbed as ‘Angels’. Only a few supermodels could earn the honour of wearing selected wings on the runway and walk as Angel each year, with the size and grandeur of the wing adding a milestone to their modelling career.
However, the American lingerie brand has now decided to move to a new era and rebrand itself in a more dramatic yet modern campaign by replacing ‘Angels’ with prominent women activists, athletes and actors as the brand’s new representatives.
The lingerie brand has faced criticism in the past for lacking diversity and peddling hyper-specific images of women and their bodies. The criticism went viral in 2018 for its lack of inclusivity of plus-sized models and perpetuating sexist stereotypes which even led to the cancellation of their annual show in 2019 .
Struggling to stay relevant, VS is now set to revamp its broken brand image by creating new partnerships to encourage women and support their causes within and beyond Victoria’s Secret. Tyra Banks who was the first Black Victoria’s Secret model and walked the runway for 10 consecutive years, welcomed this ‘beauty revolutions’ and brand’s decision with an Instagram post.
Megan Rapinoe and Priyanka Chopra Jonas will be working on VS Collective’s new product lines that the company is planning to debut next spring. It is also predicted that Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will make a comeback in 2022 with a whole new look.
