model walk

Catwalk strut technique

Model walk is the distinctive runway stride used by fashion models—deliberate, rhythmic, and often exaggerated, with hips swaying and feet crossing in front of each other.

The term extends to anyone imitating this stylized gait, usually playfully: She did a model walk down the hallway in her new dress.

To do a model walk is to strut with theatrical confidence.
