Irina Shayk offered her fans a glimpse into her summer swimwear agenda – and her figure is truly flawless.
The supermodel took to Instagram on August 6 to share a series of snaps taken over the season, showing off multiple swimwear looks. The first photo captured Irina posing in the mirror, clad in a white bikini. The ensemble featured an underwired bra top and a pair of matching side-tie bottoms.
In another photograph, Irina posed next to her two dogs in a black thong swimsuit that was layered over a white sports bra. For a pop of bold color, she also rocked a vibrant orange bikini that consisted of a triangle top and a pair of micro bottoms.

The Russian beauty attributes her fast metabolism to "good genetics", but she also is dedicated to her workout routine that blends jiu-jitsu with barre exercises and boxing. "I hate traditional cardio," she admitted to Women's Health. "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."

Irina ensures she works out as often as she can during the week and maintains some form of routine while travelling. "I do it four times a week when I’m at home in New York, then if I’m travelling I try to work out in my hotel room or at work during breaks, focusing on simple barre moves that don’t need any equipment and really work my arms and bum," she explained.

Grabbing workout time whenever I can means constantly carrying my kit around with me, so I’ve totally embraced athleisure – if I can turn up to a shoot in the same chic clothes I can wear to exercise, it saves me so much time and effort!"
Irina Shayk's diet
The supermodel follows a balanced diet to ensure she stays sculpted and fit. I"'ve got great genes to thank for my fast metabolism, but I still have to find a balance between food and working out because when I eat, I really eat," she shared.
"I'm from Russia, so I've been brought up on hearty food like meat and dumplings and potato stews in big warming portions, but if I’m preparing for a shoot or show, I’ll eat particularly clean – salads and soups – to ensure a flat stomach."
