Marc Piasecki/GC ImagesThese models are so much more than their famous flames (and in some cases, ex-flames).
When you're related to someone uber-famous, married to or just dating them the sad reality is you're going to make headlines and those headlines, most likely, won't have your name in them. That's why, this Style Week, we want you to get to know five of fashion's incredibly talented leading ladies for the careers they've carved out all themselves.
Let the introductions begin.
Irina Shayk
Famous Flame: Bradley Cooper
Where You've Probably Seen Her: On the cover of Vogue, GQ, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Glamour, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan and many others.
What She's Really Known For: Irina's a global beauty ambassador for Avon Cosmetics (along with Reese Witherspoon and Fergie), she's been shot by some of the world's top photographers (Bruce Weber, Mario Testino, Ellen Von Unwerth, etc.), and she even made her big screen debut in 2014 when she played Megara, the wife of Hercules, in Hercules: The Thracian Wars. Needless to say, she can hold her own just fine.

At the ripe age of 18-years-old, she's already taken up full spreads in publications like Vogue China, Teen Vogue, Seventeen and Vanity Fair and modeled for tons of online retailers. See! Her star power is just as bright.

Impressive, no?
