It requires good posture, balance and technique - all of which take time to develop. Practice makes perfect!
If the shoes are new, scratch the soles with scissors so that they will not slip when they touch the floor.
Alternatively, you can cover d sole of the shoe wth masking tape, if you don't want to scratch your shoes. Whatever u do, don't wear flip flops!
Learn to stand like a supermodel. Practice posture,throw your shoulders back and down & push ur hips slightly forward.
You should be able to balance a book on the top of your head. Place the ball of your foot down first (not the toes), then your heel.
but keep most of your weight balanced on the ball of your foot rather than on the heel.
It may feel strange,but keeping much of your weight on the ball of the foot gives you more of an elegant stride than a clunky (stepped down).
heel- weighted walk would. It's almost like walking on your tippy-toes, the way ballerinas do, but more natural.
Put one foot in front of the other (literally). Toes should face forwards. Your footprints should form a zigzag.
When done quickly, this gives the body that characteristic swing. Your ankles should never bump, this is painful and may make you fall!
Make your stride look long and controlled by lifting your legs almost in the same fashion a horse would while doing trotting leg extensions.
For each stride, you want to lift your foot a good distance off the ground (with a bend in the knee)
Then place it down a good distance in front of the supporting leg, with a stride longer than a normal walk would have.
Don't make your strides 2 large-this will make u look awkward & ungraceful but make sure u take large enough steps, rather than baby steps.
Look straight forward,capturing d essence of d clothes you're wearing w/ d expression on your face. Focus on an object straight ahead of you.
(but don't stare at a viewer...that is creepy). Try to smize (smile with you eyes). This will give a fierce look to your face & to your walk.
Keep ur chin level & ur eyes up -uwant the spectators 2 see your face. Keep your head and shoulders still as your body moves down the runway
Your head and shoulder should feel a little like a sturdy coat hanger, and things should swing from there.
Don't swing your shoulders, and don't over exagerate arm movements. Do make sure, however, that your hips swing more than they would usually
This may take some practice 2 look good. When d beats to the music are slower,swing your hips more and slow your pace.
When u make ur turn at the end, make sure your left foot is in front as you pause 4 a beat/double beat in your music.
Your hips, shoulders & feet should be facing d side of d runway as your head is turned 2 look straight on at the audience over your shoulder.
After posing 4 a beat,pivot your feet back towards the curtain or glass, pick up your front foot first (your right foot), & continue walking.
Make sure that your face is the last thing to turn away from the audience!
Fingers naturally fidget/fist up when ure nervous, but don't let them!It'll be a bigger distraction than you realize.Just let them hang down.
Develop your own signature walk. There's no simple formula for walking the runway, and what will ultimately make you stand out.
Its not only how well u can move your body but also how much of your own personality y can inject into your performance to make it memorable.
The best way 2 create your own unique style is 2 experiment, practice & get feedback (even if it means taking some constructive criticism).
Most importantly, you must walk & strut your stuff like you know you're beautiful & you know that you're smokin' hot
Self-doubt and low self-esteem can be damaging and there's nothing prettier than a girl with confidence.
You could practice strutting like you mean it by listening to your iPod or other musical device, put a hot song on & walk to the beat!
Step gracefully, not like you're marching. If you should trip, fall, or have any other unfortunate circumstance, recover gracefully.
Smile, and keep going as if it never happened. Nothing will demonstrate your confidence like your performance under stressful circumstances.
Don't move ur arms or shoulders too much &don't move an arm more than you move the other or it will look like u have only one arm that works
To make your face look pleasant and yet sophisticated, try to "Smize", meaning 'smile with your eyes.
Videotape yourself walking, so you can understand what other people are seeing.
Also, by keeping a visual record of your walk, you'll be able to trace your progress as you learn how to strut your stuff like a real model
Don't exaggerate by opening your eyes too much or lifting your legs too high while walking.
Watch supermodels walk the walk. Visit fashion shows & watch them on TV. Who were the models that stood out the most?
What made them unique? How was her walk different from the others'? Learn from the best so that you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
Keep your posture "H2T", or Head to Toe; this means focusing on all parts of the body while modeling or walking.
