Plait's a great look! Shanina Shaik sports edgy boxer braids made popular by Kim Kardashian as she touches down in Australia ahead of Myer fashion show
She is a style icon in her own right but it appears that Shanina Shaik's inspiration for her many looks may come from someone else entirely.
As she touched down in Sydney on Tuesday, the 24-year-old Victoria's Secret model showed off her new hairdo which featured two long boxer braids with a centre parting.
The look was first made popular several weeks ago by reality star Kim Kardashian who sported the plaits after giving birth to her second child Saint West.
