Irina Shayk narrowly avoids wardrobe malfunction in plunging sheer dress at All Is Lost premiere in Cannes

Irina Shayk was clearly out to turn heads as she arrived on the red carpet at the All Is Lost premiere in Cannes but she nearly got attention for all the wrong reasons, after her revealing outfit came close to revealing her modesty. 

The 27-year-old Russian model was in danger of exposing her breasts in the daring outfit that boasted a plunging neckline and cut out panelling. 

The flowing black dress by Roberto Cavalli was covered with beading and sequins, making it all the more show-stopping.

A close call: Irina Shayk came close to exposing her breast at the All Is Lost premiere in Cannes on Wednesday night

And while it fell to the floor the skirt even left her legs on show, thanks to stripes of sheer panels. 

The sheer material left the whole length of her limbs on display, as well as her buttocks and even her thong. 

Irina teamed the dress with a pair of peep toe heels and no accessories, leaving the dress to do the talking.

The actor said he was excited about the role, which has little dialogue, and highlighted 'the challenge of being solitary, alone, without having the crutch of words.' 

He added: 'I believe in the value of silence in film. I believe it in life as well, because there’s a lot of talk around - maybe too much.'

Redford, himself the director of movies including Quiz Show and The Horse Whisperer, also said he 'really wanted to have an experience where I could give myself over completely to a director.'

Chandor - who premiered “Margin Call” at Redford’s Sundance Film Festival in 2011 - said he wrote the script with Redford in mind for the role.
