HITTING the catwalk for Versace in Milan, Aussie model Cat McNeil has turned heads in the edgy show.

The Queensland-born beauty walked alongside “It girls” of the moment Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner at one of the premier shows for Milan Fashion Week.

Rocking her new bob, McNeil walked twice during the event.

Over a career that has spanned more than 10 years, a rarity in the modelling world, McNeil has become a favourite of the top designers at fashion houses such as Versace and Chanel.

The appearance at MFW comes after the Aussie debuted her new look at Alexander Wang’s New York Fashion Week showing.

Her local agents at Chic said they were extremely proud of McNeil’s amazing career.

“Being listed on Model.com’s Icons list is a testament to her longevity and enduring beauty,” managing director of Chic Ursula Hufnagl said.

Her amazing start to 2017 comes after the model spent nearly two months at home over the holiday period.

Sources close to McNeil said the break away from her hectic life in New York City helped her refocus.
