Viewers Spot an Odd Detail in Bradley Cooper's Ex's Look Ahead of the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

The lights, the lashes, the legendary wings — but one thing stole the spotlight behind the scenes of the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show: model and Bradley Cooper's ex-girlfriend, Irina Shayk, and the mystery lurking in her smile.

On October 15, 2025, as the world's most goddess-like supermodels slipped into their barely-there ensembles, Irina Shayk, 39, was being interviewed while getting glammed up backstage. The interview occurred just hours before she stepped onto one of fashion's most famous runways.

'Sexy and Confident' — But Running on Empty

As buzz built around the revived Victoria's Secret extravaganza, Shayk revealed how she and the other models were feeling ahead of the big night. The Russian-born beauty declared that they were "feeling sexy and confident," confirming that some of the women would be donning the iconic Victoria's Secret wings once more.

Teasing what was to come, she added, "Bombshells are going to rock tonight." But despite her radiant poise, Shayk admitted that she hadn't slept enough.

She also shared her less-than-glamorous prep routine — little sleep, an eye mask, and a hot infrared sauna. "You have to suffer a bit," but she confessed about the sauna experience, adding that it was worth it.

Irina's Go-to Prep? 'Be Yourself'... But Fans Zero in on Something Else

While the model did her share of pilates, as part of her preparations, she insisted that her main weapon was just feeling confident and being herself. Shayk was caught on camera in a signature pink and white striped Victoria's Secret robe, her hair mid-styling and her face seemingly bare of makeup — a raw, behind-the-scenes glimpse of beauty-in-progress.

Fans watching the clip couldn't focus on the glamor because they noticed something was off. "Looks like [a] decayed tooth!" one eagle-eyed viewer commented, while another gasped, "Is her tooth broke[n]?" A third speculated, "or gold?" as the internet zoomed in to sleuth out what was going on inside the bombshell's smile.

Not everyone agreed on what exactly was going on. "Has she got food between her teeth? Why didn't anyone tell her?" one person questioned, to which another replied simply, "I noticed that too."

Still, amidst the scrutiny, some fans rushed to defend the supermodel, calling out the stunning confidence she displayed — flaws and all. A netizen remarked, "Not have slept enough and looking this beautiful just 🔥. [sic]"

One admirer declared, "Shes [sic] still a bombshell!! Very beautiful & sexy!! 🔥❤️." Praise poured in on Instagram, with one person writing, "Yass Irina is back baby… Adriana is the Queen and Irina is literally her shadow of Perfection 💗. [sic]"

Another celebrated her legacy, calling it "Iconic 😍🩷." And perhaps one of the most enthusiastic of all the comments read, "This has to be one of the best VSFs of all time! 🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽✨✨✨✨✨."

Oblivious to the Online Frenzy, Irina Posts a Glam Mirror Moment

Unbothered. Unshaken. Undeniably stunning.

Oblivious to the whirlwind of online speculation, Shayk took to her Instagram Story to post a behind-the-scenes mirror selfie, casually seated, while a stylist worked their magic on her hair.

The caption read, "Almost dat time," along with a cheeky tag to Victoria's Secret.

A past with Bradley Cooper — And a Daughter in the Spotlight

Beyond the catwalk, Shayk remains one of Hollywood's most-watched women, thanks in no small part to her high-profile past with Bradley Cooper. The duo dated for four years before parting ways in 2019, then aged 33 and 44, while co-parenting their only daughter, Lea De Seine.

Born in March 2017, the little girl is now eight years old, and according to Cooper, very much involved in her famous father's work. In October 2025, while promoting his latest film, the "Silver Linings Playbook" star opened up about his daughter's involvement in his movie-making journey.

"She's part of it," he revealed. "I was making A Star is Born when she was born and then Maestro, she's in. [sic]" Cooper, 50, explained how his minimal work schedule allows his daughter to tag along, saying, "I don't work that much and each project takes years."

What that meant was that his daughter was able to tag along to the set. The actor explained, "There's nothing weird about it. It's just a part of what we do, and it's kind of a nice thing. She cares so much about it."

Shayk and Cooper's daughter might be headed for her own moment in the spotlight, behind the scenes. Her father teased that she could one day receive a producing credit, explaining:

"Kids, they say exactly what they think, and she has a big opinion about everything."

He cherishes their bond, saying, "I love it and I care what she thinks." The pair even reviews casting auditions together.

Cooper Reflects on Sobriety and Fatherhood

In a 2024 podcast interview on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, Cooper opened up about his sobriety and the role fatherhood played in saving his life. The actor credited his daughter for stabilizing his life.

He claimed he wasn't sure if he would still be alive if it weren't for fatherhood. The star recalled this about becoming a father, "I just needed someone to say, 'We're gonna drop this massive anchor,' and I'm like, 'Why? We're speeding. We just got an upgrade on the boat and I know where the wind is coming in.'"

He continued, "And they're like, 'No, there's a tsunami coming and you need an anchor and we're gonna drop it. This is going to dictate everything you do from now on. Your DNA is going to tell you there's something more important than you.'"

The man once hailed as the "American Sniper" now calls his daughter his North Star, a title earned not through glitz but through grounding. The Oscar-nominated actor laid bare how his daughter transformed his priorities, pulling him from chaos into clarity.

He explained with raw honesty, "I want her to have as much foundation as she can — I think about how my relationship with my daughter impacts her growth and the journey she's gonna be on. The least amount of damage I can do to my daughter — please let me work on myself."

New Loves: Gigi Hadid, Tom Brady, and the Shayk-Cooper Chapter Closed

While the fairytale between Bradley Cooper and Shayk ended, both stars have moved on to fresh romances. The actor is now dating Gigi Hadid, while Shayk was linked to another celebrity heartthrob — National Football League (NFL) legend Tom Brady — in a sizzling 2023 summer fling.

According to a source, the two "have been in touch for a few weeks," they have a spark, and their attraction was undeniable. The insider added that the retired footballer invited Shayk to fly out to Los Angeles, where the couple spent a romantic weekend cozying up together.

The source added, "They spent the night Friday and Saturday at a house," where Brady was staying. According to the insider, Shayk and the former athlete had never dated before their fling began, but that didn't stop their connection from turning heads.

The pair's relationship keeps tongues wagging with all eyes still on them to see if their flame will survive the spotlight. After all, when two icons collide, the world never stops watching.
