See how many you can remember...

As all of our favourite supermodels will attest, walking on the catwalk takes some guts. Not everybody has it, whatever it is, and sometimes one celebrity’s star qualities are just not compatible with another’s stage.

That’s why when regular celebrities – singers, actors, etc – decide to take a turn on our fashion week catwalks, it can have some very interesting results. We’re not talking about special performances, impromptu concerts or even just sitting on the front row. We’re talking about times that our favourite A-listers have actually got up and had a go at this modelling lark – and we love them all the more for it.

So, in no particular order, here are Rihanna, Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and more giving us their best Blue Steel…

Victoria Beckham for Maria Grachvogel, 2001 Oh the holy grail of throwback fashion pics. Yes, before VB was a super-chic designer in her own right, she cut her teeth on the catwalk, strutting her stuff in two looks for Maria Grachvogel's show at London Fashion Week.

Kim Kardashian for Christian Audigier, 2007 Before Kim started building her own fashion and beauty empire, she took to the catwalk for 2007's IT-designer, Christian Audigier. The hoops, the sheer tights, the arm cuff! It's all too good.

Rihanna for DSquared, 2007 Rihanna has performed on the catwalk many times (remember that Victoria's Secret concert?) but in 2007, she had a go at actually being the model, when she took to the runway for DSquared.
