Taking the plunge: Irina Shayk was the centre of attention at the 5th Top Glamour Fashion Awards in Madrid in a daring low-cut black dress


Celebrity have favoured the little black dress for red carpet events for years, but many have recently been steering away from the wardrobe staple for fear of it being regarded 'boring' or 'safe'.

But neither of those descriptions could have been applied to Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend Irina Shayk last night.

The 24-year-old Russian model ensured she was the centre of attention at the 5th Top Glamour Fashion Awards in Madrid, Spain, as she took to the red carpet in an incredibly low-cut black dress.

The sexy ensemble, which also featured a high split on the thigh, showed off Irina's curves to perfection, and she complemented the outfit with a pair of strappy black sandals and silver earrings.

Irina later met up with Real Madrid forward Ronaldo, who she has been dating since January, who gave the awards a miss as he is currently preparing for a game against Sporting Gijon in Spain on Sunday.

It's rare that Irina, who is a hugely successful star in the modelling industry, and world-famous sportsman Ronaldo are ever in the same country together.

But when they do meet up, it is often to be in New York, where Irina recently purchased a $1.96 million one-bedroom in New York's posh 166 Perry Street.

The 2,500-square-foot condo has wide plank-oak flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows and 12-foot ceilings.

It also has a master suite accessible through a 10-foot sliding-glass pocket door, as well as a master bath with radiant heating and a 'custom-designed sculpted Corian vanity, sink and shower'.


Fashionista: The City star Olivia Palermo also opted for a long black dress


Also at the fashion event in Madrid last night was fashionista Olivia Palermo, who shot to fame when she appeared alongside Whitney Port in MTV reality show The City.

And despite The City having recently been cancelled, Olivia insists she has 'moved on' and is forging a successful career for herself as one of the most fashion-forward young stars in the industry.

She said recently: 'It's been a wonderful time for me because I've been able to focus on a lot of other projects that I didn't have time for.

'Hopefully I'll be releasing a few things in the spring.'
