Walking like a model is a real art to perfect, and like any other art it takes a lot of practice, even if it is often quite fun. First you have to wear a pair of high-heeled shoes and acquire the right technique to be able to correctly put one foot in front of the other, after which you can begin to focus on maintaining a studied and composed facial expression. Only at the end will you be able to customize your walk, pace and confidence.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Set Your Facial Expression
Step 1. Slightly bring your chin to your chest
Do not bend and do not let your head dangle, on the contrary, pretend it is supported by a wire attached to the ceiling. The catwalk will elevate you above the audience, so you'll need to lower your chin slightly to allow people to see your face clearly. Bringing your chin slightly closer to your chest will also give your face a better angle and appear more casual.
Step 2. Don't smile and keep your mouth closed in a natural position
You don't want the audience to distract themselves from your clothes to admire your smile. Look in the mirror and try to keep your mouth in a natural position, to study your appearance and your feelings. Sometimes another person's opinion can help you point out things that you can't see on your own.
- For example, ask a friend, "Do I look aggressive?"
- If your lips tend to stay naturally parted, there's no need to force them against each other.
Step 3. Fix your gaze on a point above you
If you want your facial expression to be that of a supermodel, remember that the emphasis must fall on the eyes and eyebrows. Keep your gaze fixed on one spot and don't look around. Stay focused on your destination and put on a watchful, alert expression. Mentally visualize a goal that you consider significant to convey your determination through the gaze.
- It may be tempting to make eye contact with someone in the audience, but keep your facial expression intact and avoid looking people in the eye.
- Be very careful not to stumble while walking. Check your steps from time to time, to maintain proper balance and a confident posture.
- Look in the mirror or use a friend's advice to make sure the effect is what you want. Try different looks with the aim of being able to feel natural in an outfit worthy of a supermodel.
Part 2 of 3: Walking and Posture
Step 1. Maintain a standing position
Imagine being supported by a thread running down your spine to the top of your head. Turn your shoulders back slightly and keep your back as straight as possible. More than height, what really sets a model apart is her posture, so don't worry if you're not tall enough.
Keep your back straight and your body relaxed. Properly extending the spine does not mean having to keep the body rigid. Practice walking in front of the mirror with your back straight, trying to appear loose and as comfortable as possible
Step 2. Place one foot in front of the other and take long, firm steps
Putting one foot in front of the other will allow your hips to sway elegantly from side to side, a hallmark of a model walk. As you walk forward, try to convey a feeling of security through your steps. If you are parading with a masculine outfit you can take a more natural walk, placing your feet more next to each other.
Don't overdo it in moving your hips. Don't be afraid to let them sway naturally, but try not to intentionally exaggerate the movement
Step 3. Let your arms dangle at your sides and keep your hands relaxed
It will not be necessary to accentuate the natural swing of the arms caused by walking. Let your arms stay at your sides by swinging only slightly. This will make you appear composed and relaxed as you walk the catwalk. Don't forget to keep your hands relaxed as well, in a slightly rounded position and with your fingers not too tight to each other. There should be a gap of about half a centimeter between the fingers.
- Don't stiffen your arms too much, let them bend and swing slightly with the movement of your body.
- Try not to move your hands too much or clench them into fists to avoid looking nervous.
Step 4. Practice wearing high heels
For it to be complete, your runway walk must be done in a pair of high-heeled shoes. For girls who are not used to wearing them, a lot of practice may be required; in the morning, for example, as you get ready to go out, try wearing them. Walk around the house with the right posture to get used to moving like a model and wearing high heels at the same time.
Part 3 of 3: Working on Your Attitude
Step 1. Find the right rhythm and keep it steady
Put on your high heels and practice listening to a very upbeat piece of music. Choose a song that urges you to take the attitude you want and focus on the emotions you want to convey as you walk the catwalk. Make a commitment to keep your style as long as possible. If you manage to instill the right attitude and the right rhythm to your steps, your walk will come to life and project a fantastic supermodel energy.
- Advance provocatively and confidently.
- While you are on the catwalk, imagine hearing music that knows how to get you into the rhythm and follow it.
- As you walk with the rhythm, remember to keep your shoulders back and your body controlled to maintain a supermodel posture.
Step 2. Strike a pose
Once you reach the end of the catwalk, pause for a moment, then lean on your side with a confident and purposeful attitude. At this point you can turn your gaze towards the audience and take your attention away from the final point for a moment. Don't move your head excessively, your confident and seductive attitude should mostly show through your eyes. Now go back to your previous expression, find your supermodel walk and leave the scene.
Pose in front of the mirror to practice. Pay particular attention to timing: how long you stay and how long you maintain eye contact with the audience. When faced with a large number of people, nervousness can make time appear dilated, and a few seconds can seem endless. Practice in front of the mirror holding the pose for a couple of seconds: your muscles will memorize the movement and will be able to replicate it when necessary
Step 3. Walk the catwalk like a predator
Some supermodels have become famous for their walking. Karlie Kloss, for example, moves on the catwalk with the elegance of a panther and has now made her style known. Slightly increase the pace of your steps by quickly lifting your knees a little more than normal and remember to put one foot in front of the other. By doing this, your walk should look elegant and bold. Since you are advancing faster, you need to move your hips more; your arms will also need to swing more from side to side. Also, move your head back and forth slightly, following the movement of your body.
Step 4. Take an example from Naomi Campbell and enchant your audience by parading with style and character
Keep your leg muscles active and step on the catwalk with determination and energy. Let your body bounce naturally with each step and let your shoulders move slightly from bottom to top. Note that a more vigorous movement will cause your hips to swing more. The hands will be pushed back and forth forcefully following the rhythm of your body in a natural way. Always keep your head slightly tilted to one side and let it sway slightly following the rhythm of your shoulders.
Step 5. Walk the runway like Russian supermodel Sasha Pivovarova
If you want to replicate his famous walk, remember that, unlike the traditional gait, you will have to keep your arms mostly rigid at your sides and that your feet, instead of facing each other, must be placed side by side. 'other. Step smoothly on the catwalk with a heavy step and keep your body very stiff and composed. Be careful not to move your head and arms too much. Your goal is to appear calm and determined.
