Irina Shayk failed to go incognito during a recent beach vacation when she put her supermodel physique on display in a polka dot bikini.

The 40-year-old enjoyed a trip to Miami, and she looked incredible as she emerged from the ocean in her plunging two-piece.

Irina added an oversized white shirt that turned see-through in the water and clung to her curves as she made her way to the beach.

She accessorized with a black baseball cap and dark sunglasses as she soaked up the sun with her eight-year-old daughter, Lea, whom she shares with ex Bradley Cooper.

The Sports Illustrated model is very confident about her body now, but she previously revealed she was teased at school for her appearance.

"I was really skinny and have darker skin, so boys and girls made fun of me," she told Vogue. "I never knew that I would be a model... I had bigger lips, so they called me Chunga-Changa, after this Russian cartoon about Black kids.

"I always thought, 'I want to be like everyone else,' so nobody would pick on me. I was really shy as a child... And I kind of hated being in pictures [laughs]. Look at me now!"

Irina welcomed Lea De Seine in 2017 during her four-year relationship with Bradley. The former couple struck up a romance in 2015 but parted ways in 2019.

While Bradley, who is now dating Gigi Hadid, is often vocal about his love for their daughter, Irina prefers to keep details of their family dynamic as private as possible.

"Because my work requires me to be out there, I just decided my personal life will be quiet," Irina told Glamour UK in 2019.

"That's why it's called personal, because it's something for you and your family, and I feel happy with it."

Fans got their first real look at Lea in December 2023 when she made her red carpet debut at the premiere of Bradley's film, Maestro.

Lea – who has a cameo in the film playing a younger version of Maya Hawke's character Jamie Bernstein – looked adorable in a leopard print dress as she held her dad's hand while posing for photos.

Despite Bradley being a successful actor and director and Irina being a world-class supermodel, they will always put their daughter's needs ahead of their busy schedules.

"We both take Lea everywhere with us. She's super easy," Irina told Elle. Even when their schedules are demanding, she said they "always find a way" to make it work for them both.

"He's the best father Lea I could dream of. It always works, but it always works because we make it work," she explained.

Both she and Bradley live in New York City and have refrained from hiring a nanny so Lea can experience a "normal" childhood as her parents did.

"Looking at my daughter now, she's growing up in a completely different environment," Irina told the outlet.

"She lives in the West Village. She went to all these countries in two months. But we want her to know the value of stuff. We want to show our daughter: 'You have to work hard to get something.'"
