Irina Shayk has long mastered the art of high-fashion street style, often blending utilitarian silhouettes with luxury house staples.
Leather Pants Meet “Ugly” Sandals: Irina Shayk’s Summer-Ready Take on Heavy Textures
While visiting the SlooMoo Institute in New York City in June 2021, the supermodel demonstrated how to transition heavy textures into the warmer months, pairing straight-leg black leather NiiHAi pants with a crisp, oversized white cropped tee from Burberry.

The ensemble showcased a deliberate balance of proportions, but the focal point remained her footwear choice. Shayk opted for one of the era’s most polarizing yet enduring silhouettes: the “ugly” sandal.

She kept her accessories minimalist and high-end, featuring mismatched Chrome Hearts earrings, Celine squared sunglasses, and her frequently worn Burberry Small Olympia bag.
Available at Farfetch, the lambskin bag features a curved silhouette and a chunky chain strap that mirrors the hardware on her footwear.
