Crikey, mate!\u00a0<\/span>Robert Irwin<\/a>\u00a0is a natural on the runway!<\/span><\/p>\n The 20-year-old made his runway debut Wednesday in Melbourne, Australia, in a Tomba showcase during the Suit Up Runway at the 2024 Melbourne Fashion Festival. Irwin looked dapper in a number of wardrobe changes, from nailing down a sophisticated look in a tuxedo to a turquoise double-breasted suede suit and white turtleneck.<\/span><\/p>\n Over on his TikTok, the famed conservationist and zookeeper posted video of his runway highlights.<\/span><\/p>\n “Never imagined I’d be walking the runway, but here we are!” he captioned the post. “Wow, thanks for an amazing night Melbourne Fashion Festival!”<\/span><\/p>\n Ahead of the evening’s festivities, Irwin looked just as sharp in a classic black tux as he walked the red carpet.<\/span><\/p>\n Irwin cleans up nicely no doubt, and the runway debut is a far departure from his trademark khaki short-sleeve shirt and shorts everyone’s used to seeing him in while walking the grounds of the Australia Zoo.<\/span><\/p>\n Irwin’s fashion show participation comes nearly two weeks after he <\/span>revealed in an interview<\/a> with <\/span>The Australian’s Women Weekly<\/a><\/em> what he’d like to ask his late dad, the famed and iconic conservationist <\/span>Steve Irwin<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n “There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think: ‘Gosh, I wonder what I’d ask Dad if he was here,'” Irwin admits, who was only three when his father died. “When you lose someone, a father figure, at such a young age, who is such a commanding presence of positivity and everything that is good in the world, of course all I want is for him to be here for me; to go, ‘What do you think about this? What do you think about that?’ There are so many things I wish I could ask him on so many levels.”<\/span><\/p>\n
