From heartbreak to runway heartthrob.

Robert Irwin, the son of late zookeeper and conservationist Steve Irwin, made his catwalk debut on Wednesday at the Melbourne Fashion Festival in Australia weeks after he announced his breakup from Rorie Buckey.

The 20-year-old Aussie walked in the Suit Up Runway show and looked confident as he smiled in three eye-catching looks.

His first outfit consisted of a teal corduroy suit by Godwin, paired with a plain white turtleneck under the double-breasted blazer and finished off with ivory sneakers.

Robert also rocked a handsome look by Tomba including a black blazer and waistcoat worn over a white dress shirt. He added a hint of sophistication with a white bowtie and matching cardigan wrapped around his shoulders.

He sported white slacks and black dress shoes to complete his outfit and accessorized with thick-frame glasses that held a yellow tint.

While the young Aussie is committed to carrying on his father’s legacy at the Australia Zoo, he was thrilled to step out of the kangaroo cages for a chance to shine on the runway.
