CelebStyle: You always look sexy no matter what you wear. What tips can you offer readers who want to exude that look?
Irina Shayk: I think you can wear anything you want, you just need to feel confident in yourself. I love to wear comfortable clothes so that they feel like my second skin. I am absolutely sure that any woman can be beautiful and sexy and there are no standards of beauty. A very important thing is to wear comfortable and beautiful lingerie. I personally prefer Intimissimi, as it makes you feel very sexy even when you wear a t-shirt and jeans.
CS: What style of bikinis do you love to wear when you hit the beach?
IS: I love a small Brazilian bikini, that's why people think I am from Brazil. I love to have a small tan line and Brazilian bikinis are perfect for it. I have a huge collection of bikinis at home, many of them come from Sports Illustrated that I have done for six years already.
