After the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Irina Shayk Swaps Wings for Thong-Baring Sheer Pants
Putting the VS merch on full display.
Irina Shayk modeled some of the cheekiest styles at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. But believe it or not, she showed even more skin at the after-party.
At the Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood, the supermodel made herself unmissable in an itty-bitty bra and completely sheer, low-slung pants from It girl-beloved label, Mowalola.
Underwear-as-outerwear seemed to be the dress code at the post-show soirée: Bella Hadid layered still-available brassiere beneath a lace LBD, Amelia Gray styled a micro-mini nightgown the Hailey Bieber way, and Ashley Graham chose a strappy sweater dress with waist cut-outs. Shayk, meanwhile, outdid the other Angels in the naked dressing department.
Irina Shayk arrived at the after-party in a bra and sheer bottoms.
Every element of her less-is-more look could've starred in the runway show, specifically the suede, chocolate brown bralette and the transparent organza pants. Yes, her bottoms were burgundy, but the perfect-for-fall shade did nothing to cover Shayk's beige G-string thong. In fact, from the back, the trousers-and-thong combo looked even riskier than some styles from the fashion show proper.
To finish her late-night look, Shayk accessorized with a teeny-tiny, leopard print clutch and pointy burgundy pumps.
Shayk committed to Victoria's Secret styling off the runway, wearing an itty-bitty thong beneath her sheer pants.
Though she's long been a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show mainstay, Shayk doesn't reserve her most daring fashion moments exclusively for the runway. Back in 2023, she turned heads at the Cannes Film Festival in a nearly invisible Gucci dress, which showcased her double-G-branded lingerie. Shayk paired the nearly-nude look with semi-sheer gloves, extra-long socks, and a bedazzled choker necklace, too.
Three years ago, Shayk styled a similar lingerie-forward 'fit at Cannes.
At the same Cannes Film Festival (this was before the naked dress ban), Shayk sourced Mowalola for another stripped-back design. Mowalola Ogunlesi, the Nigerian designer behind the label, loaned her a leather look from the Fall 2023 collection. It featured a criss-cross bra top and a matching mermaid skirt. Its waistband swooped as low as her after-party pants, but it wasn't see-through in the slightest.

While the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is the safest venue for sheer styling, Shayk will do it anywhere, anytime. And you can, too—just shop the transparent pant styles below.
