Red hot! Shanina Shaik sizzles in skin-tight scarlet dress as she show off her Victoria's Secret figure at Golden Heart Awards in New York

Shanina Shaik never disappoints – and on Thursday the model showed exactly why she is a catwalk queen when she made an appearance on the red carpet in New York.

The 24-year-old added a pop of colour to proceedings and turned heads as she arrived in a form fitting, bright red Michael Kors dress as she led the glamour at the God’s Love We Deliver, Golden Heart Awards at Spring Studio.

The statuesque model donned the sultry cut out gown which fell just below her knees and carried a matching red snakeskin clutch at the glittering A-list gala.

The plunging neckline of the cut-out garment showed off her slender curves added even more sex appeal to her look, as the Australian stunner made a point to prove why she is one of the most famous models in the world.

The Victoria's Secret beauty paired the flattering garb with nude strappy heels and went with minimal accessories including a simple gold bangle worn on her left arm.

The raven-haired beauty swept her side-parted, naturally tousled locks behind her shoulders to highlight her flawless complexion.

The 1.73 metre tall stunner went with a thick coating of mascara to highlight her hazel green eyes and added a smudging of pink lipstick to her plump pout.

Showing off her model credentials, the striking beauty cut impressive poses for the cameras as she flaunted off her flawless deep olive complexion.

Shanina attended the event solo as her boyfriend of six months, DJ Ruckus – real name Gregory Andrews - was not at her side.

However instead, Shanina mingled with a handful of her model pals including Grace Mahary, Maria Borges and Devon Windsor.

Shanina recently returned from Italy where she was contracted for a photoshoot for Swarovski.

The exotic beauty posted a behind-the-scenes Instagram snap during the shoot, which showed her donning a lacy camisole as she gazed wistfully into the camera without a scrap of make-up. 

Despite her inordinate beauty, Shanina recently told KIISFM's Kyle and Jackie O that she suffers insecurities and trains 'extra hard' months before a catwalk show.

She said: 'I'm a normal person, I have my insecurities... I hit the gym two to three months before.

'I have to be in my lingerie so I cut out alcohol and train extra hard before a show... I'm not that much of a drinker, anyway, you feel so much better when you don't drink.'

Shanina has previously revealed to Daily Mail Australia that she trains three to four times a week saying: 'It's important to do that because it shocks your body.

'Sometimes when you keep a workout consistent nothing will change so you always have to mix it up a little.'

She added: 'I like to do boxing for cardio, jump rope and cycling, and now I've started doing yoga as we well. It's a great way to keep strength in your body and keep yourself long and lean as well.
