Dog owners everywhere can relate: when duty calls, you throw together a ’fit from whatever is in close reach in order to get your pup outside as quickly as possible.
Irina Shayk, however, is making that often cumbersome activity and elevated affair. On Monday, April 1, the supermodel took her beloved pooch and similarly treasured $60,000 Birkin bag out for a stroll in New York City.
By her standards, Shayk, 39, was dressed casually, but it was miles away from the more haphazardly attired dog walkers among us. Her rare Hermès Birkin 35 bag in black crocodile with gold hardware is perhaps the most glamorous solution to toting doggy bags on the go.
She wrapped up in a long and shaggy black shearling coat by Moose Knuckles — a unisex style with grained sheepskin trim, leather tabs at the collar and silk lining. Although gargantuan in size compared to her Yorkshire Terrier, the choice of outerwear matched her canine companion perfectly.
Meanwhile, the Victoria’s Secret model’s Rick Owens trousers instantly elevated an otherwise basic black hoodie and served as a chic yet equally comfortable (if not more so!) alternative to blue jeans.
She tied her outfit together with sleek Balenciaga sunglasses but added a playful double dose of color in Riccardo Tisci x NikeLab Air Force 1 High ‘Victorious Minotaurs’ sneakers. (The limited-edition kicks feature Tisci’s initials, R.T., embroidered at the back.)
Shayk is no stranger to serving looks on her regular dog walks with Peanut, whom she and her ex-husband Bradley Cooper reportedly share custody with along with their daughter, Lea, 7. Peanut, for his part, looked dapper in a Louis Vuitton monogrammed collar and leash set.
Here’s hoping that Cooper, 50, springs for the $60,000 Louis Vuitton kennel (designed by Pharrell Williams), which left the actor slack-jawed at the brand’s store opening last November. As he said on the red carpet: “The biggest standout for me was the Louis Vuitton dog house.”
No doubt Peanut and his devoted designer-wearing model mom Shayk would also agree.
