How low can you go? Irina Shayk threatens to spill out of her plunging strapless dress

She’s renowned for short skirts and tiny dresses but Irina Shayk actually opted for a floor-length gown last night.

But just as we thought the Sports Illustrated model was dressing modestly for a change, she shocked her fans with a dangerously low-cut strapless bodice.

The plunging gown left everyone wondering how it stayed upright as she attended the ninth annual Russian Heritage Festival at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Irina looked lovely in the black sequinned gown though, which was so long that her heels were completely hidden.

And while there, she was honoured by the Russian American Foundation for her contributions to the community.

 

The 25-year-old was born in Yemanzhelinsk, Russia, and attended the event as a tribute of her home country.

The Russian heritage festival explores the diversity of the country’s culture through live performances, crafts and ethnic foods.

Yesterday’s event was part of the month long celebration of the arts and culture of New York’s Russian-speaking immigrants from Former Soviet Union.
Irina is appearing on Good Day New York today to discuss the award she received last night.

Among her achievements, she is the first Russian to ever appear on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

Irina is barely ever seen at public events with her boyfriend Cristiano Ronaldo, but the couple are more than happy to show public displays of affection off the red carpet.

Late last month Irina and the Real Madrid footballer spent a romantic holiday together in Ronaldo’s hometown, Funchal, Madeira.

They had been spending time with the footballer’s family and Cristiano’s little boy Cristiano Jr on the Portuguese island.
