Jamie Brewer, walked in the Role Models Not Runway Models show in the city.

The pretty 30-year-old strutted her stuff alongside other models and posted pictures before the show of her being glammed up in hair and make-up.

Jamie – who’s starred in American Horror Story – spoke about the momentous event afterwards and said she hoped other women would look up to her as a role model.

“Young girls and even young women… [see me] and say: 'Hey, if she can do it, so can I,’” Jamie said.

“It’s a true inspiration being a role model for any young women to [encourage them] in being who they are and showing who they are.”

Designer, Carrie Hammer spoke highly of Jamie, adding: “Jamie is an absolute star. We feature incredible influential women on the runaway. CEOs, executives, activist, actresses, anyone who is the top of the field, top of their game.

“Jamie has this beautiful figure with a small waist. A-lines really compliment that.”

Congratulations, Jamie. We think you’re fab!
