Hilary Barry stepped out of her comfort zone last night and, for the first time ever, took a walk down a runway at a fashion event.
The Seven Sharp host is understood to have been in Gore to MC the Hokonui Fashion Design Awards when she decided to have a go at walking the 25 metre-long runway.
Dressed in a floor-length red gown which tied at the waist and wearing a large floral head-dress designed for the avant garde section of the show, Barry took a moment out from regular hosting duties to attempt the lengthy walk in front of a 600-strong crowd.
With some shimmies and shakes, the popular television host found favour with the audience who applauded her attempt at a model’s duties.
