Bill Nye brought his formidable presence ― and understated sense of style ― to New York Fashion Week for a great cause.
Nye, known to legions of fans as “the Science Guy,” made a surprise appearance at the 9th Annual Blue Jacket Runway Show on Tuesday.
The television personality strutted the runway in a Thom Browne navy blue bomber jacket featuring classical Greek illustrations, paired with black shorts. He also wore black crew socks and dress shoes.
As Nye reached the end of the catwalk, he placed a pair of dark sunglasses over his eyes, becoming the epitome of cool.
Turns out, the Emmy winner was among several celebrities who walked the runway at the event. Also featured were “Sex and the City” actor and comedian Mario Cantone and former CNN anchor Don Lemon.
By Wednesday, Nye had social media users and entertainment outlets alike buzzing about his appearance.
“Who knew Bill Nye had so much swag?” E! News gushed on X, formerly Twitter.
Added a fan: “Bill Nye ate that runway up!!!!”
Nye previously appeared at the Blue Jacket Runway Show in 2017 and 2020. The event is produced by the nonprofit organization ZERO Prostate Cancer, an advocacy, awareness and support group for prostate cancer patients.

“My dad had prostate cancer,” Nye told Addy Media in 2020. “And you know, you can test for this prostate hormone. So I think that we are ― and by ‘we,’ I mean researchers ― are close to solving this problem, and so, if I can support this cause, it’s cool.”
