Here she is: Miss Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Cover Model 2011! Russian-born 25-year-old Irina Shayk learned at a taping of CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman Mondy that she won the coveted spot as the 2011 Swimsuit Issue covergirl from a photoshoot in Hawaii several months ago.
She succeeds the 2010 cover model Brooklyn Decker.
Shayk, a native of the tiny village of Yemanzhelinsk, made her SI swimsuit debut in 2007 and has appeared in every swimsuit issue sincet then. She is the publication’s first Russian cover model, and her photo was taken by Bjorn Ioss, son of longtime Sports Illustrated photog Walter Iooss Jr. It’s his first shoot for the magazine!
