“I never thought in a million years that I would walk for a show at the NYFW. I was nervous but Mara Hoffman was so cool and very supportive. Her collection is so beautiful and inspiring, so unique just like her,” the 30-year-old singer posted on her Instagram account.

“Congratulations Mara, thank you so much for having me! It was the best first walk ever!,” she continued.

Other than walking the runway, Yuna also helped one of the models style her iconic turban look.

Finally got a little bit of time to edit some BTS at the @marahoffman show #NYFW! My fav part (besides the walk) was styling a turban for one of Mara's models! Loved helping out! Thank you Mr. Sinclair for the footage and photos💕 Music: Olê Olá - Nara Leão
