Irina Shayk dons leather hot pants for NYC stroll with daughter Lea… after discussing motherhood

On the same day her Harper’s Bazaar cover story was published, Russian bombshell Irina Shayk donned black leather hot pants for a springtime walk with her six-year-old daughter Lea De Seine Cooper in Manhattan on Thursday.

The 37-year-old Society Management Model completed her leggy look with a raspberry bomber jacket over a b&w Tupac T-shirt and knee-high leather boots.

“Sometimes I wake up feeling cute and I’m like, ‘Oh, should I post these pictures on social media?’ A voice says, “Oh, but people will say, ‘You’re a mother.'” And I’m like, “But what does it mean?”‘ Irina told may.

My role model is Emily Ratajkowski. Always sexy and feminine, she’s all about loving your body. Maybe I’m not that vocal about it, but I’m totally on the same wavelength. You’re a mother, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go out in a tiny skirt or put up a sexy picture.’

Shayk (née Shaykhlislamova) shares 50/50 joint legal and physical custody of little Lea with her ex-fiancée, nine-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper.

The dimpled brunette and the Philadelphia-born 48-year-old may have ended their four-year relationship amicably in 2019, but they vacationed together last August and publicly embraced on Nov. 7.

“My daughter is a big part of why I’ve come to love myself even more,” Irina gushed.

“She will say, “I love Daddy so much. I love Mommy so much. I love Nana. I love Babulya” – who is my mother. Then she says, “And I really love myself.” And I look at my daughter and I’m like, “Wow, I wasn’t like that when I was six years old.” The most important thing is to instill in our daughter greater values ​​than being beautiful on the outside.”

Shayk continued, “We teach our daughter that the most important thing is to be nice to people. Every time we send her to school, we say, “Think of kindness and love.” So I guess that’s what true beauty is. It’s not about putting on masks, putting on makeup, brushing your hair, putting on nice clothes.

“With TikTok and Instagram and social media, my daughter is growing up in a different environment than I grew up, so sometimes it scares me a little. But the most important thing is that we instill greater values ​​in our daughter than being beautiful on the outside.”

On Wednesday, the former USA/SI swimsuit stunner showed off her phenomenal 5ft10in figure on the catwalk of the H&M and Mugler fashion show at Manhattan’s Park Avenue Armory.

Casey Cadwallader, Mugler’s creative director, oversaw the presentation of the collection, which will be available in selected H&M stores and online from May 11.

Irina spent last weekend with Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio where they enjoyed Levi’s Neon Carnival in Thermal, CA on Saturday, followed by the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA on Sunday.

The 48-year-old former child star – who was most recently linked to IMG model Gigi Hadid – is a habitual model maker who has famously loved and left behind celebrities like Camila Morrone, Nina Agdal, Kelly Rohrbach, Blake Lively, Rihanna, Gisele Bündchen and Bar . Refaeli.
