At the 2026 Actor Awards red carpet, Irina Shayk looked every bit of the runway royalty she is in a bold black high slit gown. Formerly known as the SAG Awards, the gala got more than a name change this year as Elle Magazine set the red-carpet fashion theme as “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour From the ’20s and ’30s.” The Russian model absolutely nailed the assignment with her look.
Irina Shayk’s Jean Paul Gaultier gown comes with super bold neckline and high slit
On March 1, Irina Shayk attended the 32nd Annual Actor Awards at Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles. She donned a black Jean Paul Gaultier gown by Duran Lantink. The dress echoed the Dutch designer’s signature avant-garde, sculptural silhouettes. The strapless floor-length number featured padded hips that jutted outwards, creating an exaggerated hourglass figure that blended 1930s glamour with modern structural art.
The form-fitting bodice had a plunging, sculptural sweetheart neckline that dipped low into a deep V-cut. The deep cut of the neckline exposed a sliver of her torso. The skirt featured a daring thigh-high slit that added a touch of sensuality without distracting from the gown’s sculptural design. The look gave off dark Jessica Rabbit vibes.
Shayk injected a rebellious twist into the traditional evening look with black leather opera gloves. The silhouette gave the accessory a modern feel, setting it apart from the classic style. She completed her look with a pair of black pointed-toe heels. Her jewelry was minimal to keep the focus on the dress. She leaned into the old Hollywood glamour theme with a classic, bold red lip and sleek dark hair. Her makeup also featured dramatic black eyeliner.
While Shayk is a regular at high-profile red carpet events, this was her first appearance at the Actor Awards. She shared a carousel of photos on Instagram highlighting the event. In the caption, she wrote, “24 hours in LA.” She also expressed her gratitude for the Actor Awards, Elle Magazine, and its editor-in-chief, Nina Garcia.
