"Kitty is ready to walk the Cat!!!," she tweeted before the show, adding "Will be winkin and blinking at y'all. DON'T make me laugh! Gotta keep model face. Oh, who am I kidding??".The blonde's appearance, which marked the last walk in Zang's show, was the perfect finale to the exotic and colourful presentation that earned him a standing ovation from the crowd.

Tuesday was another busy day for fashionistas, with Badgley Mischka, Diesel Black Hold, Herve Leger by Max Azria and Narciso Rodriguez all showing their latest collections.

Herve Leger showcased the evolved bandage dress.
