Thousands of people did their best Zoolander impression on a catwalk in Liverpool Saturday in an attempt to break a world record.
The event, called Very Big Catwalk, invited models, celebrities and local community groups to take to the runway on the Liverpool waterfront, according to the Liverpool Echo.
The group effort broke the Guinness World Record for the most people modelling on a catwalk, Liverpool's mayor, Joe Anderson, confirmed on Twitter. The new record, 3,651, broke the previous record by more than 150 people.

Very Big Catwalk was followed by A Very Big After Party, the newspaper reported. Hopefully, with very big daiquiris.
