Irina Shayk, 37, smolders on Vogue Spain cover as she talks age inclusivity in ... trends now
Irina Shayk was a smoldering sensation as she made her grand return to the cover of Vogue Spain, which she first fronted in 2013.
Snapped by Elizaveta Porodina, the 37-year-old Russian supermodel treated the camera to a tantalizing come-hither stare.
'I think that fashion has totally changed in the last five years,' she told the magazine. 'And part of that process is accepting that women are beautiful well past their 20s.'
Hello, gorgeous: Irina Shayk was a smoldering sensation as she made her grand return to the cover of Vogue Spain in the latest issue
Irina insisted: 'We must celebrate and support that variety. I just turned 37, I don't think I have to reach a certain age at which I'm considered finished.'
She cited the 1990s Supermodels, whose number includes Cindy Crawford, still a glamour icon at the age of 56.
Irina, who shares her daughter Lea De Seine, five, with her ex Bradley Cooper, said the old Supermodels 'are all working and they are fantastic.'
She noted that having a baby also raised the question of 'whether you can be sexy or continue to pose in lingerie, but being a mother does not mean that you have to wear specific clothes and go to bed at a certain time.'

Sizzler: 'I think that fashion has totally changed in the last five years,' she told the magazine, adding: 'And part of that process is accepting that women are beautiful well past their 20s'
Said she: 'It doesn't mean giving up on being yourself. You have to legitimize your feelings, be honest with yourself and bottle up the guilt.'
During her wide-ranging interview, she also discussed the 'social pressure' she felt to have a baby and pointed out the role that age played.
'In my country, if you have children after the age of 18 or 20, it seems that you are already late,' she said, referring to her Russian heritage.
With a laugh, she lovingly recalled her grandmother needling her to get married and have children the way her sister had done.

Irina, who hails from an industrial Soviet town on the slopes of the Urals, candidly shared the way her upbringing shaped her dress sense.
'I am very much in favor of investing in quality pieces that you can reuse, but paying a fortune for something like a luxury bathrobe is insane. My mother earned 10 dollars a month. Sometimes not even that,' she revealed.
