Lulu Braithwaite was kicked off America’s Next Top Model this past Wednesday (Sep. 23) after failing to impress the judges with her “signature walk” on the runway.
But Braithwaite believes her strut – which experts referred to as “sleepy” – is just fine and will “never change it.”
She learned the walk at age 17 from an amateur New York fashion designer who tweaked it to his liking.
Braithwaite likens her walking mentor to a Brooklyn version of sassy Top Model judge Miss J., so he clearly knew what he was doing.
Though she admits her stroll could use a little more “excitement,” she refuses to get rid of it.
Despite being only 5-foot-7, she’ll continue walking tall and pursuing fashion gigs.
Top Model airs Wednesday on The CW.
