Fans Divided After Paris Hilton's Awkward Runway Walk Goes Viral
Paris Hilton holds many roles: reality TV star, author, podcaster, DJ—and now a model. Hilton walked in Mugler's Paris Fashion Week show on Oct.2, alongside iconic supermodels like Irina Shayk and Helena Christensen, as well as Black Panther star Angela Bassett.
When a clip of Hilton's runway walk made rounds on social media, fans shared their polarizing reactions to the "Stars Are Blind" singer's unusual walk. The 42-year-old strutted the runway with her shoulders leaned back, while wearing a black, long-sleeved mini dress with exaggerated shoulders, accessorized with a corset.
A Twitter user compared it to Ariana Grande lookalike and influencer Paige Neimann, who quickly rushed off the stage while struggling to walk during her appearance on the Creators Inc. x Bossi fashion show at New York Fashion Week.

Some pointed out that there's a reason why professional models are hired to walk fashion shows instead of celebrities.
They should let models do their job ,or they ran out of people that can actually walk the walk https://t.co/RGHTzX5Pt6

Many fans, however, excused the uncomfortable walk, noting that they were mesmerized by her toned legs.

Additionally, someone opined that Hilton's stance was better than Kendall Jenner's, who recently walked the L'Oreal Paris show.

Hilton seemed unfazed by the comments, expressing how happy she was to be part of the show. "Dream come true walking the runway for @MuglerOfficial tonight at #PFW ???? So iconic!?? Love you @Cadwallader!??So proud to be a part of your big night!?? Congratulations on another epic collection," she wrote on Instagram, accompanied with behind-the-scenes shots.
Last year, the Simple Life alum walked Versace's Milan Fashion Week show, strutting in a more natural, modelesque way. Perhaps this time around, she was just getting into character for the goth-inspired outfit.
