Ex-spy Anna Chapman hits the catwalk with ‘agents’ (VIDEO)
Anna Chapman, a former Russian spy, walked the runway at a fashion show in Turkey on June 8, 2012. The glamorous redhead has been enjoying her celebrity status after she was deported from the US in 2010 along with 9 other agents.
Russian ex-spy Anna Chapman strutted her stuff on a Turkish catwalk last week, flanked by two men dressed like secret service agents, according to the Associated Press.
Appearing on the Dosso Dossi runway, Chapman was dressed in a long red-and-black patterned dress.
The owner of Dosso Dossi, Hikmet Eraslan, said Wednesday that the company donated to Chapman's charity for children with poor eyesight in exchange for her appearance.
This wasn't Chapman's first appearance on the runway, as she has been enjoying her fame by modeling, hosting a TV show in Russia, editing a business magazine and posing for Maxim, according to MSNBC.

The ex-spy was deported from the US along with 9 other agents in 2010 for espionage, said The Telegraph.
The Telegraph also said Chapman and the other agents were awarded state medals and met President Vladimir Putin, who was prime minister at the time.
In April, Chapman was on the catwalk at a Moscow event when she pulled a fake gun on a male model and made him strip, noted The Telegraph.
