From Kim Kardashian to Jennifer Lopez, here's a look at some of pop culture's favorite icons who have strutted down the runways.
When we think of runway shows, we think of the supermodels that walk down them. From Kate Moss to Bella Hadid, models are the celebrities of fashion shows. However, some of your favorite celebrities have walked down fashion's top runways too, like Kim Kardashian, Dua Lipa, and more.

Scream queen Mia Goth opened Miu Miu’s latest show wearing a polka dot pencil skirt, buttoned gray cardigan, and patent strappy heels.

Dua Lipa for Versace Spring/Summer 2022
If there's one thing Donatella Versace knows how to do, it's hold a runway show that'll continue to be talked about years later. For the Spring/Summer 2022 show, pop sensation Dua Lipa walked down the Versace runway in two amazing outfits. She opened the show in a black blazer dress adorned with colorful safety pins and closed the event in a fabulous metallic pink dress. As a face and lover of the brand, Lipa fit right in with the rest of the Versace models.

Before she was walking down the runway for Savage X Fenty, Rihanna made her modeling debut for Dsquared2.

Now, Rihanna has walked for her own company, Savage X Fenty, for the Fenty X Puma collaboration show.
Jennifer Lopez for Versace Spring/Summer 2020
In 2000, Jennifer Lopez made history by wearing a green Versace dress to the Grammy Awards. This dress was the birth of Google Images and has been a major source of outfit inspiration ever since. 20 years later, at the Spring/Summer 2020 runway show, the pop star walked down the runway in a new version of the iconic "Jungle Dress." Few can say they've broken the internet twice, but Lopez certainly did with these two looks.
Kylie Jenner for Yeezy Season 1
Kylie Jenner made her New York Fashion Week debut modeling for Kanye West's Yeezy Season 1 collection. While having walked runway shows in her youth, the pop culture icon didn't stick to the profession, unlike her sister Kendall. Kylie was the only one out of the Kardashian/Jenner clan to model for the show, and many wondered if this would be the start of her own modeling career. Unfortunately, Jenner did not return to the runways but continues to model for personal projects like her company Kylie Cosmetics.
Miley Cyrus for Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2020
Serving a major rockstar look in a black bra top, leather gloves, and black suit trousers, Miley Cyrus made her runway debut for Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2020.

Whoopi Goldberg for Opening Ceremony Spring/Summer 2017
Whoopi Goldberg is one of America's favorite actresses. From entertaining us with the Sister Act films to making our hearts ache with The Color Purple, Goldberg has served as an influence to pop culture. For the Spring/Summer 2017 collection, Opening Ceremony enlisted Goldberg as one of their models. The show sparked conversations about political injustices, such as immigration, police brutality, and economic inequality. Goldberg used the show as a vessel to encourage people to vote, saying, "You should vote because if you don’t, you can’t bitch."
Madonna for Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 1995
Pushing a baby stroller with a white poodle in it, Madona made news closing the Spring/Summer 1995 show for Jean Paul Gaultier.

One of pop culture's most fashionable icons, Grace Jones made history walking the Spring/Summer 1986 Haute Couture show for Alaïa. Wearing an amazing fuchsia glittery dress, the model, singer, songwriter, and actress, Jones took over the show and made fashion history.
