Mitte, who is signed to Elite Models, was hired to walk the runway in Vivienne Westwood’s Milan fashion show and fit right in with the other male models, wearing a very haute couture breast plate from the designer. Mitte, who has also [worked as a D.J.,](http://time.com/3694515/breaking-bad-walt-jr-dj/) was hoping to [launch a music career](http://entertainment.time.com/2013/11/13/breaking-bads-rj-mitte-is-working-on-a-music-career/) after _Breaking Bad_ ended. While that career path is still in development, at least he has his good looks to fall back on. Mitte wasn’t the only _Breaking Bad_ alumna popping up in unexpected places this weekend.
