To say it’s surprising to spot a celebrity moonlighting as a runway model these days would be a bit of a lie. It’s almost a rite of passage for actors, singers, athletes, and It girls to do their little turn on the catwalk. Still, it’s always fun to see your favorite stars taking a stab at fashion glory, especially when they do something unexpected like play a rambling shopping network host a la Debi Mazar at the Completedworks show. Or, when someone having a moment takes a break to get into the fashion game, like current White Lotus star Jason Isaacs, who popped up at Burberry just hours after the Max show’s second episode hit streaming. There are many more big names trying their hand at modeling this season so we’re keeping track of every unexpected model on the fall/winter 2025 runways below.
