Irina Shayk is known for her artistic and provocative photoshoots, but even a relaxed day at the beach can put star-gazers in a trance.

The Russian-born supermodel, 40, hit up Miami Beach, Florida for some Valentine’s Day fun with her eight-year-old daughter Lea De Seine, whose dad is actor Bradley Cooper.
Shayk looked fabulously fit in a tiny black bikini as she frolicked in the surf, sporting a black baseball cap to keep the sun's glare out of her eyes.
Her long dark hair flowed down her back in damp waves and her skin took on a bronzed tone in the sunshine.
At one point, Shayk, who divided fans with her bondage-themed shoot for V Magazine, could be seen relaxing on a lounge chair in the semi-shade of a wide umbrella.

She rang in the 2024 New Year’s celebration there, and back in December 2023 she attended Art Basel on the so-called American Riviera, during which she was spotted with NFL legend Tom Brady during their brief on-again romance.

The latest beach sighting comes on the heels of Shayk's racy, bondage-themed shoot for V Magazine.
Famed videographer and artist Steven Klein captured the brunette beauty in a series of provocative poses in several skimpy leather ensembles.
In one image, she posed completely nude in nothing more than a long leather cape.
Discussing the wild shoot with V Magazine, Shayk said that she was playing a 'character' that she'd developed alongside Klein.
'For me, she represents a kind of wild femininity,' she explained.

'She’s bold. She's masculine in her own way. She lives in leather. She goes out. She's in her "yes" era—fearless, unapologetic, fully herself.'
Fans responded with mixed reactions with some approving of the 'flawless' photos, and others feeling that she'd gone too far.

It was a fun day in the Florida sun and she was also joined by her eight-year-old daughter Lea De Seine (not pictured)
'I'm sorry, but this photo makes me unhappy,' one commented.
'Why did you agree to this?' asked another, while a third wrote, 'I didn't like this.'
A fourth chimed in, 'Irina always looks stunning,' while another added, 'What do you mean she's forty?!'

This is not the first time Shayk has ditched the clothes for the sake of her art. She went completely nude for a GQ Italia photoshoot in 2016.
Shayk's latest shoot comes after the Victoria's Secret catwalk queen opened up about her ex, Cooper, 51, with whom she maintains an amicable co-parenting relationship.
Last year, Shayk revealed how she and Cooper help their daughter Lea 'feel comfortable' around their fame.
'She has very, very little digital access, almost down to none,' she told People magazine.
Shayk said that she and the A-list actor try their best to turn their attention to 'building community, friends and just giving love.'

She added, 'This is the best thing that you could give to your kid, raising them in a loving family.'
And she touched upon something else she guards her daughter against, saying, 'There are so many beauty standards out there that of course I try to protect my daughter from.'
Cooper has also said he makes his daughter a part of his filmmaking career, with his little one even joining him on the set of Is This Thing On?
'There's nothing weird about it,' Bradley told E! News in October of his daughter joining him on set. 'It's just a part of what we do, and it's kind of a nice thing. She cares so much about it.'

He continued, 'Kids, they say exactly what they think, and she has a big opinion about everything. I love it and I care what she thinks. Even with casting, we'll look at casting auditions together.'
