12->''Just the way she walked was illegal in thirty-seven States.''
13-->-- ''[[Literature/TheWarAgainstTheChtorr A Day for Damnation]]''

15Sometimes being sexy isn't just about the way you look, but the way you move. Supermodels in {{Fashion Show}}s have found ways of walking on the catwalk that draw attention to their clothes and bodies. Over time, these types of walks, sashays, saunters, or struts have been used in media in ways unrelated to modeling.
16
17The most common way a person can do a Supermodel Strut is to keep their head up, push back their shoulders, have their hips swivel from side-to-side and move while placing one foot directly in front of the other, invoking an air of confidence and purpose. There are variants that achieve a slightly different meaning, such as moving in a slower sashay for a more laid-back and coquettish effect or a faster stomp to appear more assertive and predatory.
18
19While the walk can be done by anyone, this trope tends to be more common with female characters. Since MenAreTough, males trying to look sexy as they walk tend to concentrate on looking imposing and powerful. Instead of sashaying with their hips and legs, men focus more on a confident straight strut, with their shoulders doing most of the work by swaying back and forth. If a male character ''does'' sashay as a female does, it's usually a sign that they're CampStraight, CampGay or InTouchWithHisFeminineSide.
20
21Camera tricks may also be employed to give the walk even more emphasis, such as SlowMotion or MaleGaze shots of the character's body, usually their hips and legs. {{Reaction Shot}}s from onlookers can also occur, such as having [[HeadTurningBeauty people turning their heads]] to start EatingTheEyeCandy through a CrushFilter as the characters strut past them. Playing sexy music such as the {{Sexophone}} in the background can emphasise the {{Fanservice}} aspects of the walk. Doing a gratuitous HairFlip can also help. While supermodels often end their struts in the catwalks by striking a ContrappostoPose or HeadAndHipPose, this is typically not done by characters unless they are specifically trying to invoke modeling.
22
23Since a Supermodel Strut isn't a natural gait, this is usually done to illustrate that a character is a ProudBeauty, who's sexually confident and body positive. You can be sure characters like the MsFanservice, TheTease, or TheVamp will move like this. Sometimes media will exaggerate and portray a character as ''always'' walking in this fashion, even subconsciously, to demonstrate how supernaturally "sexual" they are, such as a LoveGoddess, a {{Sexbot}}, or a [[SuccubiAndIncubi Succubus]]. But commonly a character will employ this type of walk for just a moment, to make a grand or sexy entrance or maybe in an attempt to seduce or [[DistractedByTheSexy distract]] someone they know is watching, such as a FemmeFatale making her way to a target. A character who doesn't have great confidence trying to walk in this manner will usually fail to do so, likely tripping and embarrassing themselves, often resulting in FemininityFailure.
24
25This is often used as part of a HeadTurningBeauty introduction or a part of a WalkThisWay gag. A character in AcquiredSituationalNarcissism may start to walk in such a manner in order to illustrate their new state of mind. If a videogame character walks like this, it's to invoke ThirdPersonSeductress. Also related to FeetFirstIntroduction, HighHeelPower, LegFocus, ShakingTheRump, or a walking version of {{Streaking}}. Contrast with SillyWalk, TeamPowerWalk, and UnflinchingWalk.

31[[folder:Advertising]]
32* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOhfGezdcXU One commercial for Pepsodent Toothpaste from the 1950s]] showed a teenage girl, Suzy Q, strutting down the street in this manner with her hands on her hips. She attracts the interest of two teenage boys, although it's not because of how she walks, but because of her big smile; hence, the advertised product.
33[[/folder]]
34
35[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
36* ''Anime/IrresponsibleCaptainTylor'': Harumi walks in a suggestive manner from the [[SamusIsAGirl moment she takes off her spacesuit]]. This lasts until she enters Tylor's cabin and finds it blacked out -- suspecting an ambush, she leaps for cover and grabs for a gun hidden in a thigh holster, showing the audience her HospitalHottie act is [[FemmeFataleSpy covering for something else]].
37* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': A good amount of the male characters do this thorough out the franchise. Though none do as much as [[https://youtu.be/1M9mX5jo10k?t=46 Dio Brando]]. When it comes to female characters [[https://twitter.com/aatracoes/status/1249398653099413504 Suzie Q in the anime]] is the most notable example of this.
38* Parodied in ''Manga/OnePiece'' by [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Quirky Miniboss]] "[[CodeName Miss Doublefinger]]", whose hips swing dramatically from side to side with each step (or between ''every panel'' when she appears in the manga).
39[[/folder]]
40
41[[folder:Comedy]]
42* In the second ''BlueCollarComedyTour'' movie, Jeff Foxworthy talks about meeting a women with a ''very'' backside in ''very'' tight jeans who did it on purpose. He wondered what would happen when she took off her pants and worried about her hitting a small child with those swings.
43[[/folder]]
44
45[[folder:Fan Works]]
46* ''Fanfic/AnchorFoal'': One of Fleur's first tasks for Fluttershy is teaching her this trope (in a chapter [[ShoutOut titled]] "She's From [[Recap/MontyPythonsFlyingCircusS2E1 The Ministry Of]] Sexy Walks"), and un-teaching her [[ModelScam Photo Finish]]'s version:
47-->"Your idea of a sexy walk is to move," Fleur tensely said, "like a model."\
48"...oh."\
49"That's not a compliment. Models are supposed to be aloof. Mysterious. Unapproachable." So it was actually worse than having to merely teach her from the ground up: there were now things to unlearn --\
50-- Fleur blinked.\
51"Do that again."\
52The hesitation on the next sentence might have been natural coming from anypony. "...what?"\
53"That walk."\
54"...but you said --"\
55"-- do it."\
56Fluttershy complied. And Fleur, who knew her charge had been taught that little hip-hitch by the only pony in the world who thought it was good for anything and somehow hadn't been kicked to death because of it or anything else, groaned.
57* ''Fanfic/GloriousShotgunPrincess'': Miranda and Liara decide to teach Jane Shepard how to ''strut''. They rope Tali into helping, because her swaying hips became infamous on the first ''Normandy''. She insists that she is not doing it on purpose... and demonstrates by showing what her ''intentional'' sexy walk looks like. She promptly causes a car accident.
58-->'''Jane:''' ''[to Miranda]'' How is it my little sister analogue manages to do this better than you?
59* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/47007946/chapters/118997032#workskin Harry Potter and the Annotated Story: The Philosopher's Stone]]'' Briallen convinces Fred and George to prank a few worthy male individuals by using a modified dancing spell to make them walk like this.
60* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3480341/1/The-Night-The-House-of-Cards-Was-Built The Night The House of Cards Was Built]]'', Anko [[LostHimInACardGame bets both herself and Kurenai]] in a [[AbsurdlyHighStakesGame High-Stakes Poker Game]], and are promptly won by Manga/{{Naruto}}. Later on, when Kurenai leaves for the kitchen, she makes a point of "rolling her hips as she walks" to remind the other men who are playing of what they failed to get.
61* In ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'', [[TheTease Shani]] slowly walks towards Kyril with a little sway in the hips as she convinces him, a tired individual, to [[DoubleEntendre "relax"]]. [[CelibateHero Kyril]] is unfazed by this.
62* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/7819960/chapters/17848066 Only One Year: Alternate]]'': [[WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}} Esmeralda]] walks like this by habit. [[WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}} Anna]] finds it [[StupidSexyFlanders annoyingly distracting.]]
63[[/folder]]
64
65[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
66* ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'':
67** ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'': Elsa struts towards her ice castle balcony at the climax of "[[IAmBecomingSong Let It Go]]". This was partly meant to be [[RuleOfSymbolism symbolic]] of her finding self-confidence (why she also spreads her arms proudly), and partly because it looks good with her [[GorgeousGarmentGeneration brand new]], slinky PimpedOutDress.
68** ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'': While playing charades, Olaf imitates her walk to get "Elsa" across.
69* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks'':
70** The Dazzlings from the movie are sirens who, during the cafeteria scene, augment their song with some generous hip swaying. This is their default mode of walking, and even when standing still they tend to sway in place alluringly.
71** Rarity seriously shake her hips on leaving her boutique in the short "Life Is a Runway". And all of her impromptu models too, once on the runway. Of course, that's how fashion models are supposed to move.
72* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': Jessica Rabbit walks in a suggestive way in general. It's best demonstrated during her stage performance in the Ink and Paint Club. The entire audience, even the hard-boiled Eddie Valiant, is mesmerized.
73[[/folder]]
74
75[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
76* The Belgian cult film ''Any Way the Wind Blows'' has a scene of a [[SexySecretary tall blonde office assistant]] walking down a sunny street in slow motion, her lover following close behind, supported by a [[IntercourseWithYou rather suggestive soundtrack]]. The walk itself is not emphasized, but literally everybody stares as she goes by. The scene goes on for two whole minutes.
77* ''Film/{{Catwoman|2004}}'': The closing shot has Catwoman sauntering into the distance, cracking her whip and moving her hips side-to-side; albeit, it is blatantly CGI.
78* The Vietnamese hooker in ''Film/FullMetalJacket'', justified because she's trawling for customers. As she's introduced sauntering into camera view with her back to the audience, [[MaleGaze we get a good view of it too.]]
79* ''Film/TheGirlCantHelpIt'': Creator/JayneMansfield as Jerri Jordan. Looking at her walk causes a milkman's milk to leak out, an ice man's ice to melt, and another man's glasses to spontaneously fracture. It's even on the movie's poster!
80* ''Film/HappyDeathDay'': During one of the [[GroundhogDayLoop loops]], Tree decides to go {{Streaking}} through the campus, [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl confidently]] strutting past all her classmates as they're all EatingTheEyeCandy. She's only shown with ShouldersUpNudity and with a quick ToplessnessFromTheBack shot, but it's clear she's shaking her hips and making it as sexy as possible.
81* ''Film/HarryPotter'' has a male version: In preparation to play seven characters disguised as Harry, Creator/DanielRadcliffe observed his castmates' body language and noted that Creator/RupertGrint has a wiggly, sexy walk. Which he presumably imitated as Ron-Harry.
82* Creator/SeanConnery got the role of Film/JamesBond when the producers noticed his 'leopard-like' prowl as he walked to his car after his interview.
83* The musical ''Theatre/HowToSucceedInBusinessWithoutReallyTrying'' has a blast of raunchy music that plays every time SexySecretary Hedy [=LaRue=] goes into her walk.
84* {{Invoked}} in ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle'' when WeNeedADistraction. Except that, given the character in question has no experience ''doing'' a Supermodel Strut, she ends up sort of staggering uncomfortably. Bethany attempts to teach Martha how to walk like this but success could be described as 'mixed', at best.
85* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse: Loki has [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ce/84/65/ce84653059994d3be20a5fc8f233eb83.gif a rather]] [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/98/fc/45/98fc45201d3788f02385d22e73e97306.gif sensual gait]] [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/c4d15ad2f639f1726c6ade24358b9f99/tumblr_otiz1wdH0B1spgwzwo3_500.gif for a man;]] he [[https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/582231058049220934/ struts like a model on a catwalk.]] It accentuates his tall, lissome figure--Loki is a ProudBeauty who takes pleasure in parading himself, which includes this particular walk.
86* ''Film/{{Polar}}'' opens with a retired hitman enjoying HookersAndBlow including Sindy who is introduced in a SlowMotion SexySurfacingShot of her emerging from the pool and doing a sexy walk while dripping wet. However, she is not just the usual PaidHarem FanserviceExtra but a HoneyTrap setting him up to be killed.
87* Creator/MarilynMonroe had a famous sexy walk, which she displayed in several films. In ''Film/SomeLikeItHot'', Jerry (Jack Lemmon) comments: "Look at that! Look at how she moves. That's just like Jell-O on springs. She must have some sort of built-in motors. I tell you, it's a whole different sex!" Apparently she accentuated it by shortening the heel of one of her shoes, which forced her to adjust her legs more.
88* In ''Film/ThreeWiseGirls'', the floor boss at the clothing store asks to see Cassie's walk. Cassie (Creator/JeanHarlow) delivers a hip-swiveling walk that is pretty sexy but isn't very suitable for fashion modeling.
89--> "This is not a burlesque show."
90[[/folder]]
91
92[[folder:Literature]]
93* In ''Literature/TheAeneid'', Aeneas recognizes Venus in disguise "By her stride". Kind of awkward, seeing as she's his mother.
94* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': Adora Belle Dearheart can walk "like a snake trying to sashay".
95* In '' Literature/MySisterTheSerialKiller'', Korede has a crush on Tade, the doctor she works with. She tries to invoke a Supermodel Strut, hoping to impress him. Instead, he mistakes her "sexy" walk for a medical issue and asks her about it, to her embarrassment.
96* In ''Literature/RallyRoundTheFlagBoys'', Comfort Goodpasture, to her father's distress, learns to walk like Creator/MarilynMonroe even before she becomes interested in boys.
97* In the French police novels series ''[[http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/San-Antonio_(s%C3%A9rie) San-Antonio]]'', a sexy woman walking by is sometimes described as "trying to write some calculation with her ass, the like of 'I put down 8 and carry over 1'...".
98* In the ''Literature/TriggerArgee'' stories (part of the ''Literature/FederationOfTheHub'' series), Argee apparently has a sexy walk; one person even mentions that it's known among her friends as "the Argee lilt" (referring to the motion of her hips). This is plot-relevant when other characters are trying to find a convincing body double for her.
99* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': [[SingleTargetSexuality Jaime Lannister might]] [[BrotherSisterIncest only have eyes for Cersei]], but when [[ForeignFanservice Taena Merryweather]] walks away, even ''he'' can't help but stare.
100[[/folder]]
101
102[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
103* ''Series/{{Angel}}'': In "[[Recap/AngelS04E02GroundState Ground State]]", Gwen makes her entrance into the restaurant to meet her client while doing a sexy walk to his table, while also wearing a [[LadyInRed red]] skintight HellBentForLeather midriff-baring outfit that makes [[HeadTurningBeauty every man in the room gape at her]]. Her client is actually less than pleased, as he [[SoMuchForStealth wanted a discreet meeting]].
104* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': The first time the audience sees a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots humanoid Cylon]] is when a Number Six walks into Armistice Station, strides across the room, and kisses the human solider stationed there. The Six line is played by Creator/TriciaHelfer who was a professional model before she went into acting, so she knows exactly how to do this kind of walk.
105* ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'': In "To Love and Die in L.A.", has a scene with Kate (Creator/StanaKatic) doing a SexySurfacingShot from a pool and then sexy walking in SlowMotion in her swimsuit past the VillainOfTheWeek to get his attention, though the undercover Castle ''also'' gets DistractedByTheSexy.
106* ''Series/DarkMatter2015'': The men on the ship are well aware of Two's Supermodel Strut (that's only accentuated by her [[GunsAkimbo twin thigh holsters]] and midriff-baring outfit). In the second episode she's walking away from One and without turning round tells him to "stop staring at my ass."
107* Discussed in ''Series/{{Dinosaurs}}''. Charlene asks her mother Fran if she should swing her tail or not when she walks. Fran says no, good girls don't do that. Then Grandma Ethel butts in, advising Charlene to "swing it a little bit" until she lands a husband, "then put it away."
108* In ''Series/DoctorWho'' Lady Cassandra tends to walk in this fashion after snatching [[EveryoneLovesBlondes Rose Tyler's body.]] Her confident strut is a sign of her own vanity and how she is more willing to exploit her sexuality when compared to Rose.
109* Ginger on ''Series/GilligansIsland'' walks in a suggestive manner. Played for laughs on the episode where one of the male cast needed to dress up as Ginger (ItMakesSenseInContext), and they had to see which one of them could do the best sexy walk.
110* In an episode of ''Series/ILoveLucy'', Lucy walks with an exaggerated strut as part of an attempt to convince Ernest Ford she was a sinful city woman and he should go home. Ernest says "You have a hitch-up in your get-along."
111* In an episode of ''Series/{{Matlock}}'', Matlock's law partner Michelle bets she can use her sexuality to get some tickets from Matlock. She does a sexy walk, he notices, asks her to repeat it, and when she does, references the ''I Love Lucy'' episode and quotes Ernest.
112* ''Series/RedDwarf'':
113** In Series VII, Kryten insists Kochanski is seducing Lister using this walk. By all appearances, Kochanski is not, but the clip of Kryten demonstrating the walk made it into the title reel.
114** In Series I, the Rimmer hologram briefly [[ItMakesSenseInContext assumes Kochanski's form to trick Lister into giving up becoming a chef]]. When Rimmer gets his form back, he still has one of Kochanski's breasts (but he [[ManIFeelLikeAWoman doesn't mind]]). He also claims to have Kochanski's hips as he sashays away, but--even though [[TheOtherDarrin it's a different Kochanski]]--she still doesn't have that walk.
115* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'': In "[[Recap/SmallvilleS01E15Nicodemus Nicodemus]]", Lana gets infected with the Nicodemus plant and becomes NotHerself. The next day, she arrives at school wearing a {{Stripperiffic}} black miniskirt and boots and struts sultrily through the school hallway, [[HeadTurningBeauty while every boy stares]].
116* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': Kira's MirrorUniverse EvilCounterpart, particularly noticeable in "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS06E08Resurrection Resurrection]]" when she dresses up like Major Kira to pull a heist, and the only means of telling them apart is Mirror Kira's vampish walk.
117* ''Series/TeenWolf'': In "The Benefactor", Kira walks flirtatiously down a set of stairs towards Liam -- but it gets PlayedforLaughs when she loses her balance and falls right in front of him.
118* In ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'', Creator/SummerGlau carefully and intentionally gave Cameron a sexy walk. It should be noted that Cameron, being a RobotGirl, plays this up when she calculates that doing so will help her get what she wants.
119* In season 3 of ''Series/TwinPeaks'', the FBI take along the attractive [[FairCop Agent Tammy Preston]] when they go see the Coopelganger in prison. Afterwards her boss Gordon tells her to go wait in the diner so he can have a private talk with his colleague Albert in the parking lot. She does a very sultry walk, which [[EatingTheEyeCandy doesn't go unnoticed]].
120-->'''Albert:''' I'm feeling better now.
121* ''Series/TheXFiles'': PlayedForLaughs in "[[Recap/TheXFilesS07E13FirstPersonShooter First-Person Shooter]]". Mulder is interrogating a stripper. When she leaves, Mulder leans sideways to check her out as she walks down the corridor. Scully, with an amused look on her face, leans sideways to block his view.
122[[/folder]]
123
124[[folder:Music Videos]]
125* Music/{{Miserable}}: After a prolonged sequence of [[spoiler: chasing down each member of Music/{{Lit}} and gleefully devouring them alive as he helplessly protests,]] GiantWoman Pam/Val finishes by [[spoiler: grabbing lead singer A Jay Popoff, tossing him into the air and catching him in her mouth.]] Afterwards she confidently struts off into the distance with a noticeable swivel to her hips apparently proud of what she did and [[KarmaHoudini receiving no comeuppance for her actions.]]
126[[/folder]]
127
128[[folder:Video Games]]
129* In contrast to the other female characters in ''VideoGame/{{ARMS}}'', who either have a standard walk cycle, are in a mechanical suit or float, Twintelle walks with her hand on her hips with a [[https://i.imgur.com/GNvr6It.gif very pronounced sway]] [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/256/164/d7c.gif of varying speed]], which highlights her already extremely prominent (and famous) rear.
130* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}''. Bayonetta swings her hips a foot in either direction when she walks normally. Her stance is so exaggerated that even when standing still her feet are placed on the opposite sides of her center of mass.
131* ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'': In Chapter 3, Henry meets the [[ButterFace butter-faced]] "Alice," who wears black tights and a mini-dress and is obsessed with being beautiful. She forces him to go on a "date" with her, and after she causes the [[spoiler: [[ElevatorFailure elevator crash]]]] at the end of the chapter, she can be seen walking toward it with her hips swaying from side-to-side.
132* In ''VideoGame/ChampionsOnline'', characters have the option of different animation sets to use for movement, including walk style. A set that includes a saucy hip-swaying walk is one of the options for female characters.
133* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' recently introduced the ability to "walk", giving each "body type" (male, female, and huge) its own unique swagger. The female version is... almost back-breaking to watch, but DAMN it looks sexy.
134* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', Vanille does a real hip-swaying walk, which bounces her [[PrettyInMink fur skirt]] and attached whip side to side.
135* The "Femme" is is one possible walking style for female characters in ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV Grand Theft Auto: Online]]''.
136* Almost all the human female characters in ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' walk this way, starting with the female protagonist Lumine.
137* ''VideoGame/FinalVendetta'' has Vixen, a female mooks who walks likes a supermodel when coming out of a [[https://youtu.be/tRCyyzMOR6o?t=38 door or background]]. Hip sway and everything.
138* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'':
139** [[MsFanservice Miss Fortune, the Bounty Hunter]] has "Strut" as an ability that gives her bonus movement speed.
140** Jhin, the Virtuoso, does what can be best described as a male Supermodel Strut as his default movement animation, casually strutting around and occasionally twirling his gun around. Considering his [[LeanAndMean lanky build]] and exaggerated movements, it actually makes him look creepy [[MurderousMannequin in a mannequin-esque way]].
141** Camille, the Steel Shadow, whose hips drastically sway while walking (complete with a single hand on hip). However, the overall effect is closer to FanDisservice since this is due to the unnaturally-shaped and over-large [[ArmedLegs cybernetic implants in her blade legs]].
142* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' has a scene where you must identify Meryl in disguise by her Sexy Walk.
143* ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'' gives us probably the most obviously feminine walking animation for Samus (even more than ''Other M''). This is most noticeable in the game's first major cutscene when she steps off the elevator into Artaria and she has a very wide, sexy swing to her hips with each step she takes. It also helps that the Power Suit in this game is very, ''very'' tightly form-fitting to her legs and thighs.
144* 2B, the female protagonist in ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'' also swings her hips in an alluring fashion when walking normally. Though that is more notable when you [[ClothingDamage self-destruct her dress]], leaving her to walk in a LeotardOfPower. A2 is an even more prominent example, as she is taller than 2B and has an even more noticeable swing in her walking animation.
145* Bad Girl in ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' does two. One involves dragging her [[BatterUp bat]] as she walks, giving the walk a more "innocent" look. The other is holding the bat like a walking stick and putting her other hand on her hip, giving the walk a "sultry" look.
146* Carmen in ''VideoGame/ThePath'' goes trudging through the forest dressed like she's off to the club, seducing any animals that may be watching, no doubt.
147* ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2'' gave you the option of controlling how your player character walked in the character creator, and there were at least two flavors of this available for your player regardless of gender. ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'' removed this option but the female Boss still had a demonstrably sexy walk.
148* ''VideoGame/SonicFrontiers'': The Ninja robots and their variants perform this during all their slow walk animations, walking with one foot in front of the other complete with swiveling hips. Exaggerated to the point that even during their idle stance, their legs still remain crossed.
149* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'': Menat's [[https://twitter.com/HiFightTH/status/902677791946162176 walk animation]] walk combines Supermodel Strut with WalkLikeAnEgyptian as she struts around on her tiptoes, with a lot of emphasis placed on each step, causing her hips to sway a lot.
150* ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'' has [[CatGirl Presa]] walk with a more defined swing in her hips, compared to the other female characters, including Milla. Her {{Stripperiffic}} outfit helps in keeping the eyes low to notice this.
151* ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'':
152** The first scene of the Age-o-matic montage shows the Mii walking through the train station this way before the train comes.
153** Female Miis walk this way down the catwalk (complete with shaking their hips and swaying their arms out) during newscasts of a fashion show.
154* ''VideoGame/TormentedSouls'': Caroline Walker, even when running, has a noticeable sway of her hips.
155* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': Roll a female draenei, and you'll see why "/waggle" has become a [[Memes/VideoGames meme]]. (Although, in that case, it's not a matter of high heels; it's a matter of being unguligrade.) Hell, half the females in ''World of Warcraft'' walk like this -- Night Elf and Blood Elf women, and to a lesser extent [[CuteMonsterGirl orc and troll ones as well]]. Not to mention the warlock's summonable [[SuccubiAndIncubi Succubus minion]]. Draenei just happen to be exception in that the female half of their entire race happen to stick their butts out. Always.
156[[/folder]]
157
158[[folder:Visual Novels]]
159* Although this is not portrayed outright, Lauren from ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework'' is mentioned to shake her hips as she leads the protagonist to the bathroom of the nightclub where they are for a much-needed handjob.
160[[/folder]]
161
162[[folder:Web Animation]]
163* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': In the Yellow Trailer, Yang's entrance into the nightclub consists of the camera being focussed on the sight of a feminine silhouette approaching with only two details being emphasised: golden hair and swaying hips. When the doors open to reveal her properly, she continues the swaying walk as the camera slowly zooms in towards her.
164[[/folder]]
165
166[[folder:Western Animation]]
167* A scene in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison Pretty Poison]]" features [[Characters/DCAUPoisonIvy Poison Ivy's]] hip-swaying walk out of the restaurant (in a dress inspired by [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]]) catching the eyes of some men.
