Kirstie Alley looked the picture of confidence as she strutted down the catwalk at New York Fashion Week yesterday.

And it's no surprise, given that the actress has reached a huge milestone in her battle to lose weight.

'I've lost 100 pounds,' the Cheers actress and former Dancing With The Stars contestant revealed in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight.

She continued: 'I feel like I'm back in my element. I honestly didn't even realise what I looked like.'

The yo-yo dieter, who now says she's a U.S. size four, is clearly thrilled with her new look and insists she's not tempted follow up with a nip and tuck.

'I haven't had plastic surgery but here's the reason: People do plastic surgery to make you look younger,' says the former Jenny Craig spokesperson, who is now following her own diet regime.

'I don't think it makes you look younger. I like it can make you look weirder.

Kirstie, who once tipped the scale at 230lbs, outdid celebrities and models alike as she took to the runway for Malaysian designer Zang Toi.

Despite being 60-years-old the star stole the show as she paraded her newly slimmed down physique in front of a packed house at The Studio at the Lincoln Centre.

Wearing a stunning cobalt blue embellished gown and matching dress coat, the actress garnered cheers and loud ovation as she swept up the long catwalk, looking 20-years-younger than her actual age.

She also donned a fitting black dress over a pair of leggings.

Her blonde hair was pulled up into a large beehive-style bun, no doubt with hair extensions added to create the full look.

On Tuesday before the show, she tweeted: 'Waaaa Hooooo!!! Kitty is ready to walk the Cat!!! False Bravado will guide me...Let's have some fun @ZANGTOI!!!'.

'Will be winkin and blinking at y'all. DONT make me laugh! Gotta keep model face. Oh, who am I kidding?? Haha,' she tweeted.

'DO NOT make eye contact! I will start giggling and fall on my well-dressed ass. Look away!'

On a high: She was seen after the show looking happy and relaxed and still in one of her catwalk ensembles, and looked even more svelte in a leather look at the Popluxe show last night

And after all the fun was over, Kirstie said: 'Thank You all the REAL Models for letting me share @ZANGTOI runway with you!!!!! You all were sooo sweet and looked soooo gorgeous!!!'

She added: 'THANK YOU @ZANGTOI !!!! I love you!!! I had the time of my life!!!!'

Kirstie told Entertainment Tonight that she had known Zang since 1993.

'I did the cover of Redbook and I wanted something really beautiful...he just has the most beautiful clothes, period.'

'Thank You all the REAL Models for letting me share @ZANGTOI runway with you! You all were sooo sweet and looked soooo gorgeous!' she tweeted afterwards.

The actress enjoyed the experience, and the clothes, so much that she walked out of the Lincoln Centre wearing one of the outfits she modelled.

She was then seen laughing and joking with a mystery man, believed to be her boyfriend.

Ricki Lake was one of the first celebrities to share their admiration for the star.

She tweeted: 'Wow! You are a goddess! Yes, indeed an inspiration to me!'

The talkshow host had earlier said she had agreed to take part in Dancing With The Stars after attending a taping of an episode of the previous season, which saw Alley fall and later lose a shoe.

After yesterday's show, Kirstie attended the Richie Rich show, tweeting: 'Ritchie Rich....fashion show FUN!!!!! Wild, crazy, wicked!!!!! Thanks Ritchie!!! Off to dinner ...Yots of friends..Yuv.'
