Demi Moore is a high-profile Hollywood actor, the star of films such as G.I .Jane, Striptease, Ghost, and Indecent Proposal. In recent years, Moore has enjoyed a career resurgence following the release of her bestselling memoir, Inside Out.

Moore recently made headlines when she headlined a major runway show. Although fans have had a lot to say about the way Moore looked as she walked the runway, the actor herself has stated that the opportunity fulfilled a lifelong dream of hers. 

What is Demi Moore best known for?

Moore was born in New Mexico in 1962. As a child, Moore suffered from a variety of health issues, including strabismus and kidney dysfunction. Although she had a troubled childhood in many ways, Moore found a way out when she signed to a modeling agency at the age of 15.

By the early ’80s, Moore began to land high-profile modeling jobs, which led to her film career taking off in 1984.

By the mid-90s, Demi Moore was a major Hollywood star. She made headlines for her romance with fellow film heavyweight Bruce Willis, as well as for her various blockbuster movies, such as The Scarlet Letter and Striptease.

After the success of G.I. Jane, Moore took a break from Hollywood for a few years, retiring to the country in order to raise the three daughters that she and Willis shared. Still, by the year 2003, Moore had made a triumphant return to the screen, making waves with her appearance in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle

Demi Moore recently opened a high-profile runway show

In recent years, Moore has focused more on personal projects, such as her recent memoir, rather than acting roles. Still, she has remained a figure of intense interest for fans, and never fails to earn acclaim at whatever she does.

At the end of January, Moore made a splash when she made her surprise runway debut at fashion house Fendi’s Haute Couture spring/summer 2021 presentation. Moore, who rocked the runway wearing a black silk trouser set and massive statement earrings, is no stranger to the world of modeling and has posed for many magazine spreads throughout the course of her life.

However, this was Moore’s first official runway show, and she joined other high-profile stars like Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell. Following her debut, Moore took to Instagram to let fans know how much the moment meant to her, exclaiming that she fulfilled a “teenage dream” by walking for Fendi. 

What do fans say about Demi Moore’s runway debut?

In spite of Moore’s obvious enthusiasm for her runway debut, some fans weren’t quite sure what to think — especially when it came to her appearance at the event. Moore’s cheekbones appeared to be much more prominent than they had been previously, and her lips were plumped out.

Overall, her looks made critics wonder if the ageless star had gone under the knife and gotten some plastic surgery before her runway appearance. Still, Moore has since posted to social media, and in those images, the dramatic changes appear to be reversed — so it is entirely possible that the runway look could have just been the work of a talented makeup artist. 

For Moore, an actor who has proven that she can work effectively in any medium, her runway debut is proof positive that she isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
