Dame posted his big runway moment on Instagram, and many people left comments like \"Best walk ever!\"

In an interview with Vogue, Dame said Maison Margiela creative director John Galliano told him to \"work it\" right before he went out.

Shortly after the show, Dame continued to rise to internet fame with many people chiming in on his big moment.

One Twitter user called the walk her \"Wednesday mood\" while many others simply called it \"interesting.\"
