There are some moments that are so powerful words cannot do them justice. A gorgeous Robin Roberts walked the catwalk at the Isaac Mizrahi studio fashion show this morning on ABC's Good Morning America. She wore a red sequin Isaac Mizrahi gown, but it was what she didn't wear that got everyone's attention — her wig.
In one of the most inspirational runway struts we've ever seen, Robin strolled down the catwalk and brought tears to our eyes. The GMA anchor is currently battling breast cancer and was dared by her fellow anchors to be a model on their "I Dare You" segment. Robin said that being told she would have to undergo chemotherapy was "one of the toughest times in my life. The last thing I felt was beautiful." She felt the dare "was the perfect opportunity for me to really push outside my comfort zone." She then took it a step further, choosing to walk the runway wigless.
When talking to Diane Sawyer, Robin stated that she was worried about being "runway roadkill," referring to the moment when Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw fell on the runway. But to us, Robin is actually a different Sex and the City character. She is a real-life Samantha Jones, a breast cancer survivor who took off her wig in the show's series finale while speaking at a cancer benefit.
Tyra Banks invited Robin to her talk show to give her tips on how to walk, but we don't think that she needed any. We applaud Robin, who truly is America's top model, and more importantly, an inspiration to us all.

Wow, she looks just like the famous bust of Nerfertiti. I admire her courage both in walking the runaway with pride and in fighting the disease. It's inspirational.

The one girl in the black dress with gold sequins on the front was having some major issues with just walking! It almost looked like she was too weak to hold herself up...
