Bill Nye the Science Guy showed off his catwalk skills at the 9th Annual Blue Jacket Runway Show—and fans are so here for it.

Bill Nye the...Fashion Guy?

The 69-year-old beloved science communicator made a comeback to New York Fashion Week on Tuesday, February 4, to show off his skills at the 9th Annual Blue Jacket Runway Show in New York City.


In the show, he wore an outfit designed by Thom Browne, a pair of black shorts that hung above the knee, and a navy blue bomber jacket embroidered with Greek gods and goddesses. He completed the outfit with black dress shoes and black crew socks.

Nye walked to the end of the runway, donned a pair of sunglasses and gave the audiences a jaunty salute, before sashaying away with a small step-ball-change dance move in the middle of his walk off.

He nearly lost his sunglasses during a turn he did near the end of his walk.

Nye's been notorious over the past decade for participating in some off-the-wall cultural moments.

Still, it's odd to see your after-school science man (or during school, if your teacher was having a bad day) walking a runway.

Elon Musk Dragged After Programming Grok To Claim He's 'More Fit' Than LeBron James

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after X users discovered he'd programmed his AI chatbot Grok to praise his physique by saying he's "fitter than" basketball star LeBron James.

Musk is actually on record saying that he wouldn't exercise if he could, that he's not been consistent meeting with his personal trainer, and that he would "rather eat tasty food and live a shorter life." But to hear Grok tell it, Musk is more fit than one of the top basketball players on the planet—and smarter than some of humanity's greatest minds.
