Alina Kabayeva

Russian Vogue has put 2004 Olympic rhythmic champion Alina Kabayeva on its January 2011 cover. The lovely 27-year-old is shown posing in a sparkling golden dress by Balmain couture.
The 27-year-old former Olympic gymnast is seen on the cover of the magazine's January 2011 issue wearing a gold Balmain gown, StyleBistro is reporting. The issue is already shaking up readers, many of which have taken to online forums to vent their disapproval, particularly since the dress -- worth an estimated $33,000 -- had previously been photographed for other publications.
Kabayeva and Putin was rumored to be having an affair a couple years ago, and there was even some talk that Putin was planning to divorce his wife Lyudmila and marry her.
