To describe earning the cover of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue an honor would be an understatement. Models can pose for the annual magazine years in a row without ever gracing the cover, but once you do, your life is changed. Brooklyn Decker found this out last year, when she became the 2010 cover model, and now it’s time to crown a new beauty.
The 2011 Sports Illustrated swimsuit model is Irina Shayk!
In just a few years, Irina has transformed herself from a newer face into a ball of energy and her hard work shows. She’s designed bikinis for Beach Bunny, graced the pages of SI, and gained fans worldwide. Now, with her 2011 cover, she’s set to take over.
Congrats Irina! Your cover is well deserved! We can’t wait to celebrate with you tomorrow!
