He's considered one of the "prettiest" models ... and he's a guy. Serbian-Australian modeling sensation Andrej Pejic -- who admits that straight guys often (unknowingly) hit on him, took his catwalk career to the next level this week as he appeared in a runway show featuring bridal gowns, The Daily Mail reports.

The 20-year-old androgynous model opened the show for Rosa Clara at Barcelona Bridal Week 2012 in a gown that many women would kill for -- and looking as beautiful as a spring bride on her big day. Last year, he appeared on the cover of Out magazine wearing a bridal veil and flowers in his hair. Pejic also models as a male.

"He's just this beautiful thing that everyone wants a piece of," says stylist Ken Anderson, according to the Mail. The blonde and blue-eyed runway star has also modeled for Jean Paul Gaultier and Marc Jacobs. Do you think it's cool that a male model can pull off a wedding gown? Or totally bizarre?

    People today have a little too much time on their hands. If this is what progressives think is advanced thinking, God help us all.

    Gender identity. I can't be quite sure which gender he identifies as. Some androgynous people can be strange about what gender they feel they are, so I took a gender neutral wording.

    He is pretty, not gonna lie :p kinda weird to use men to model female clothing since you also don't see how well it works with female curves. Just seems pointless.

    Pride and self respect comes into it somewhere.
    Then again, there are few outfits designed for males coming down the catwalk these days that I would be caught dead in anyway.
    He may have gotten paid, but I fail to see how putting a male model in an outfit targeted for women will help the brands bottom line.
    I certainly will not be buying anything from this company!

    Just goes to show that the fashion industry is obsessed with making both men and women as asexual as possible. Both men and women look like 12 year old boys. No curves and now, no toned bodies.

    I was being sarcastic. Your comment was just really overgeneralizing. Making a blanket statement on an entire industry just because *some* people are able to cash in on a certain look is stupid. Male models with muscles/abs exist. Female models with curves exist. Androgynous people should have their day too.

    I never understood the concept of human created gender identity. At one point women weren't supposed to wear pants and men weren't supposed to wear dresses, but why exactly? Why not?

    Tradition is all it is. But freaking out because someone doesn't stick to traditional standards is an overreaction. We are all individuals, stop trying to put every human into the restrictions of enforced conformity. We are not all alike, some of us do question old social standards and will continue to do so and we won't just obey old standards because they exist, without us who question these things society would've not changed since the stone age. We understand now that humans cannot be all alike, this uniform of conformity is quite a ridiculous concept when one starts to think about it.

    He rocks that dress, and I don't find men who wear "women" clothing weird at all. Women wear "men" clothing all the time and it's considered okay, why can't men dress like women?

    Why do most people on here think this is weird? I don't get it? It's a GORGEOUS man wearing a dress. He's a model and presents the dress well. Modeling is about how you look on the outside, attitude, and ability to perform certain things well(Such as walking, and knowing your angles). It has nothing to do with what your genitals look like, if it did then models would have their crotches to the camera. =]

    What's wrong? That he's beautiful, and a model, and markets his look well?
    It's called androgyny.
