"There are some moments you will never forget, and I want to thank @chapuyc and the wonderful L'Oreal team from the bottom of my heart for what they've given me, and the beauty their brand inspires in so many." 

Shayk, who has modeled for the likes of Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated, also thanked her longtime manager, Ali Kavoussi, as well as Cyril Chapuy, the president of L'Oréal Paris.
