Footage of their meeting was shared on Vogue’s official account. In the video, 40-year-old Shayk, dressed in a figure-hugging black bandage dress with a dramatically open back, demonstrates her signature runway walk for Sabalenka.
The 28-year-old tennis star watches the model closely, trying to mirror her movements. When she notices the camera, Sabalenka smiles and admits: “I’m learning, I’m learning.”
Shayk and Sabalenka met ahead of Vogue World in Milan, which celebrated Italian fashion and the spirit of Made in Italy. The show featured not only professional models but also stars from the worlds of sports, film and music.
This is not Sabalenka’s first fashion appearance in recent months. The tennis star has been making increasingly frequent appearances on the covers of glossy magazines and at high-profile events, proving that she feels just as confident off the court as she does on it.
