Shayk, 39, bought the Perry Street duplex for $1.96 million in 2010, according to city records. She was famously dating soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo at the time.
Shayk listed the first-floor home for $4.2 million last June. The listing got a whopping $1 million discount in December. The last recorded listing price on Zillow was $3.19 million in March.
The Sports Illustrated model first tried to unload the home nearly a decade ago, in late 2015, for nearly $4 million. Perhaps the sale was in anticipation of her purchase at 150 Charles St., where she bought a two-bedroom condo for $6 million in 2016. Ben Stiller and Jon Bon Jovi have also called the luxe West Village address home. 150 Charles recently made headlines for the sale of the priciest apartment ever sold in downtown Manhattan.
The buyer of Shayk's longtime Perry Street pad is a trust linked to the daughter of Michael Ashner, the head of a property management and real estate investment firm, the Real Deal reported.
Compass' Adrian Radomski, Nicholas Lounsbury and Justin Hopwood held the listing.

Nothing Looks Beautiful Anymore—and We Did This to Ourselves
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The concept of beauty is being redefined—not by genetics or societal consensus, but by algorithms, filters, and the cold precision of artificial intelligence. For many, the perfect face is no longer born; it is built—designed by AI, refined by cosmetic surgery, retouched on photo-editing apps, and approved by dating algorithms. In this landscape, even global beauty icons of the past—Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Cleopatra—are suddenly being called "mid," a Generation Z insult that translates to plain or average. That startling change came into focus in a viral TikTok video posted on May 2 by Faye Oakley, a full-time student and musician based in the U.K., whose commentary struck a cultural nerve with viewers online. Overlaid with text that read, "if Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, and Marilyn Monroe were alive today people would call them 'mid,'" Oakley's video called into question how AI, porn and dating apps have "rotted" people's perceptions of attractiveness. "In that clip, I had mentioned another video that I had seen on TikTok of a woman talking positively about her appearance and how the comments on that video seemed to take offense at her self-confidence," Oakley, 26, told Newsweek. "They tried to humble her and convince her she, in fact, was not good looking." The phenomenon Oakley highlighted—public mockery of attractive women who express confidence—has sparked a deeper reckoning with how digital culture and technology are reshaping our ideas of attractiveness. Oakley's post, which has since drawn more than 645,000 likes, is just one example of a widespread concern: beauty standards are now being set by algorithms, AI and altered reality.

Getty Images / @wizawoza The short clip went on to trigger a wave of agreement—and backlash—that revealed just how deeply this issue runs. Beauty Icons Deemed 'Mid' The notion that historically revered beauties would now be dismissed as average and plain struck many as jarring, but Oakley said it is not hyperbole. Her post referenced an earlier video of a young woman who had described herself as having a "timeless face." She was subsequently bombarded with comments aimed at undermining her confidence. "At one point or another, these women have all been portrayed as beauty icons," she said. "However, I believe a large amount of people today would not find these women attractive, for many reasons." In Oakley's view, it is not just changing tastes—it is a systemic shift. "With the rapid advancements in AI we are currently seeing, it is become easier than ever for people to create realistic images and videos of flawless women," Oakley said. "They can customize everything … And if those ideals change, so can she." And while most consumers know these images are fictional, she added that, for many, the psychological impact remains. "It alters the way we see ourselves and others," Oakley said. "When you become accustomed to seeing 'perfect' women, features of 'real' women such as wrinkles, acne, stretch marks, and body hair become unacceptable. "We create a culture in which women are held to a beauty and aesthetic standard that is impossible to meet." The Rise of "Algorbeauty" Dr. Benjamin Caughlin, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, has coined the term "algorbeauty" to describe the fusion of algorithm-driven aesthetics and modern beauty standards. Caughlin, who is preparing a book on the topic, said that digitally driven ideals are not just shaping physical features—they are influencing identity and self-worth. In his clinical work, Caughlin has noted an uptick in patients requesting surgeries to emulate AI-generated or heavily altered images. The implications, he added, are concerning. From Filters to Fillers Celebrity makeup artist Amanda Gabbard said she sees the same trend from her makeup chair. Clients frequently present her with AI-generated faces or airbrushed photos of celebrities as their Pinterest board to create a makeup look from. "They are chasing a version of beauty that is not real, yet they believe it is attainable," Gabbard told Newsweek. "It is heartbreaking to watch people become dissatisfied with their own faces simply because they do not match something that was never real to begin with." Gabbard said these expectations also bleed into the dating world. "Clients tell me how nerve-wracking it is to meet someone in person after presenting a completely filtered version of themselves online," she said. "Some even say they have become unrecognizable to their dates." Gabbard added: "In trying to meet these impossible standards, people are losing touch with who they are—and it is affecting their confidence, their relationships, and their happiness." Oakley said she feels similarly, bringing pornography and the sexual representation of women online into the mix. "Many of the scenarios displayed in pornography show women in submissive positions compared to men … And the women in these videos are often focused on looking as attractive as possible, at the cost of their own comfort," Oakley said. "I feel like this leads many people to expect this from women in real life. She agreed that the unattainable expectations created by AI have only exacerbated by the use of social media and dating apps, which are "algorithmically designed to keep people gambling for that potential perfect match." "This creates a mentality that, no matter how beautiful a woman is, the next one might be even more beautiful," Oakley said. "Before they know it, people develop a mindset of devaluing the looks of women based on the belief that there is always something 'better' just around the corner. "People feel entitled to perfect women," Oakley added. Confidence as a Target Oakley said that her viral video was intended to critique the culture of "humbling" women for expressing self-assurance and happiness with their looks, amid increasingly unrealistic beauty standards set by others. But the responses, she said, mostly "reinforced" the very standards she had aimed to challenge. "Most of the comments were debating whether the famous women I referred to are actually attractive," Oakley said. Whether viewers agreed or disagreed with her, she added, the conversation still revolved around a singular, narrow question: is a woman's confidence acceptable or valid only if she is "truly attractive"? That notion, she said, is part of the problem. "The main issue I wanted to highlight is that it is not anyone's responsibility to tell a woman how she should feel about her own appearance," Oakley said. "A lot of people are uncomfortable with women expressing confidence in themselves, and this needs to change." Algorithms and Cultural Confusion Dr. Anastasia Kārkliņa Gabriel, a cultural theorist and author of Cultural Intelligence for Marketers, told Newsweek that the effect of AI and social media on beauty standards is nothing short of revolutionary. "Hyper-optimization is the name of the game in modern-day beautification rituals and practices, resulting in further homogenization of beauty ideals," Gabriel said. "On social media, we see the flawless outcome, not the complex process of engineering this new reality. "Whether through advanced surgical interventions or artificially generated imagery, the line between reality and fiction has been fundamentally blurred." The question, then, is why people who are conventionally attractive within Western beauty standards—such as Grace Kelly or Marilyn Monroe—now seem "average" to so many. "Because the convention—that which is considered to be the standard in our culture—has been disrupted and altered in a way that has skewed our perceptions of attraction, desirability, and perceived flawlessness," Gabriel said. "Digital users are increasingly bombarded with this type of imagery through social media at a rate not seen in the history of humanity. "Our brains are, therefore, being rewired to see hyper-optimization in beauty forms as the new normal." Gabriel also connected these shifting standards to broader social dynamics. "Humans have always striven to attain the unattainable in pursuit of greater social standing," she said. "And beauty is no exception: it has historically been how we express who we are or, rather, who we aspire to be." Gen Z and the 'Mid' Culture Part of the shift may also be generational. Gen Z—raised on a steady diet of social media—has grown comfortable rating and ridiculing people's appearances in ways that feel normal within their digital communities and how they communicate online. Oakley noted that it is easier to be critical over a screen and that this drive to "humble" people online may facilitated by the detachment of social-media platforms. In this environment, even confident women become targets. Margot Robbie, best known for Barbie and The Wolf of Wall Street, became the subject of many similarly critical comments on social media in 2023, when she was labeled "mid" after being announced as the lead in Barbie. "Nowadays, people feel emboldened enough to tell confident women that they have no right to be as secure as they are," she said. Once down to the eye of the beholder, between AI-enhanced images, cosmetic procedures, dating apps gamifying attraction, and a culture increasingly obsessed with perfection, the definition of beauty has become markedly less anchored to reality. "People are not able to appreciate natural features of women," Oakley said. "They have every tool at their disposal to erase or 'fix' these features." And so the paradox persists: in a world overflowing with filtered, sculpted, and synthetically perfected beauty, even the icons of the past and present are no longer good enough.
