Longtime friends and international supermodels Irina Shayk and Stella Maxwell stole the show at last week’s 75th Bambi Awards hosted at the Bavaria Filmstadt in Munich, Germany.

As two of the most sought-after models in the world, Irina and Stella showed off their fashion prowess as they posed on the red carpet in matching long black dresses.

Irina Shayk stands at a height of 5 feet 9 inches (175.3 cm), while Stella Maxwell’s height is 5 feet 8.5 inches (174 cm). In comparison, the average height of an adult American woman is approximately 5 feet 4 inches (162.6 cm).

Irina Shayk’s Retro Glamour: A Closer Look at Her Dazzling Black Dress

Irina, whose street-style game is every bit as amazing as her red-carpet style, highlighted her killer hourglass figure in a black dress with a daring PVC conical bra top that gave the sleek contemporary design a retro feel.

The gorgeous piece featured a cleavage-baring sweetheart neckline and a low back held in place by multiple straps. It had thick PVC shoulder straps, delicate loose straps, and an off-the-shoulder strap over the right arm.

The bottom part of Irina’s sultry ensemble was a floor-length silk satin skirt. It was snugly around the waist and hips and flared out at the knees with a graduated flounce.

While her heels weren’t entirely visible from beneath her sweeping gown, Irina was seen wearing black tights and a pair of open-toe satin heels that added several inches to her already impressive 5’10” height.

Her black opera gloves gave the ensemble a royal touch, while her diamond and sapphire cocktail ring and bracelet glistened against her all-black ensemble.

Known for embracing her natural beauty, Irina, 37, emphasized her striking features with minimal makeup. Daniel Kolaric used products by Pat McGrath, Clé de Peau Beauté, Armani Beauty, and Rose Inc. to give the model light bronze eyeshadow, mascara, and a dab of nude lip gloss.

Her brunette hair was then arranged in a low, carefree bun with a center parting.

Stella Maxwell’s Sheer Elegance: Exploring Her Bold Mugler Gown

Meanwhile, former Victoria’s Secret Angel Stella Maxwell, famous for her sultry red-carpet appearances, brought supermodel glamour to the occasion by wearing a sheer black gown by Mugler, a French designer known for his architectural and sculptural style.

The openly queer model, who previously dated Miley Cyrus and Kristen Stewart, stunned in her sheer nude dress with black panels strategically placed to cover her modesty.

While it had daring see-through sections, the exquisite dress was relatively modest with its round neck, long sleeves, ankle-length hem, and short sweeping train.

Maxwell’s stylist Marc Eram chose basic, pointy shoes for her footwear but added sparkle to her otherwise neutral ensemble with diamond drop earrings.

The 5ft 8 ½ (174 cm) supermodel then complemented her striking appearance with geometric eyeliner created by makeup artist Daniel Kolaric, while her blonde hair was styled down in natural waves.
