I some of the best references I found were from TV and movie characters such as Wilhelmina from “Ugly Betty” and Meryl Streep in “The devil where’s Prada”.
Allot of characters from “Ugly Betty” had useful walks to look at, as most of the shows jokes are drawn from characters with superficial confidence. This is exactly the kind of thing that I wanted. A confident walk that’s comically overdone. I have also been advised by few people, to exaggerate a cartoon character walk more than you would a live action character.

Wilhelmina montage (I really like this one)
Meryl Streep does this brilliant gesture, when she takes off her sunglasses and flicks her hair a little. That simple movement is such a strong parody of the characters confidence in how fabulous she is.
I would love to end my walk with her simply walking up to the camera and whipping off her glasses in that way.
