Nepo Baby of the Week: Steve Irwin’s Son Robert Is a Hot Model Now

As far as “nepo babies” go, it’s hard to think of anyone who seems more pure of heart than Robert and Bindi Irwin, the progeny of the late “Crocodile Hunter,” Steve Irwin. Both siblings have carried on the Aussie TV star’s conservationist legacy, working as zookeepers and promoting animal welfare on their social channels and in TV appearances. This week, however, Robert embraced his multitudes, ditching the family khakis and trying on a new role—fashion model.

Robert staged his runway debut at the Melbourne Fashion Festival in Australia, where Us Weekly reports that he strutted along the catwalk in three looks. There was a double-breasted teal corduroy suit with a white turtleneck and sneakers, a navy ensemble with a speckled bomber jacket, and a black-and-white ensemble with thick-framed glasses that recalled a young Elton John. That last ’fit was clearly the best of the bunch, but the teal suit was a close second. (If it had been a single-breasted jacket, it might’ve won the coveted Laura’s Choice Award, but apparently the local fashion designer Godwin was not concerned about winning that prestigious prize!)

Of course, it’s impossible to tell from just a few photos and clips how Robert’s runway strut really compares to the greats. I will say, that big smile he gave at the end of the runway certainly violates Charlize Theron’s rule for walking like a queen—“think: murder.” Still, overall, it looks like he did a solid job and didn’t trip.
