At first we thought it was Irina Shaik’s sister, but Shanina’s a 20-year-old model from Melbourne, Australia. Some of you guys might remember from the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show back in November (see photos here) and as Tyson Beckford’s hot girlfriend during Halloween. Here’s more about her:

Shanina Shaik (born 11 February 1991)[1] is a model from Melbourne, Australia.

Shanina’s mother is of Lithuanian and Australian heritage, while her father has Pakistani and Saudi Arabian roots.[2] [3] Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia she started modeling when she was 8 years old doing small catalogue gigs for Target and K-Mart, but stopped when she started high school and got accepted into an accelerated program, graduating a year before her classmates. People kept telling her to model, so at fifteen she entered the Girlfriend Model Competition, the same contest Abbey Lee Kershaw won years ago, but Shaik didn’t get very far. While agents were interested in her, she was too young to move to Sydney and nothing was happening in Melbourne, modeling-wise, so she went on to participate on the Australian reality show, Make Me A Supermodel,[2] ending runner-up to Rhys Uhlich.

With this year being her third year trying out Shanina scored a breakthrough when she was casted to walk in the 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show,[2] making her the fifth Australian along with Miranda Kerr, Elyse Taylor, Sarah Stephens, and Abbey Lee Kershaw to star in the show. Shaik has also walked for Chanel’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection at the Grand Palais in Paris. [Source]
