It’s been a tense few weeks on Days of Our Lives as EJ DiMera’s (Dan Feuerriegel) secret lab in the hospital construction caused a city-wide power outage. Meanwhile, Xander (Paul Telfer) managed to reconnect with Sarah (Linsey Godfrey), but that may not last since it’s based on the lie that he didn’t beat up Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier). Offscreen, both actors traded in their onscreen turmoil for something much lighter — and far more stylish. Over the weekend, Feuerriegel and Telfer hit the runway for a cause close to their hearts, and their social media posts had fans buzzing.

From Salem to the runway

Days of Our Lives’ official Instagram page shared a video with the caption: “From Salem to the runway! Dan Feuerriegel and Paul Telfer walked in the 10th Annual @bluejacketfashionshow benefiting prostate cancer awareness.” In the clip, the two fan favorites strut confidently down the catwalk, looking sharp in tailored blue jackets and coordinating ensembles that struck the perfect balance between classic and cool.

Feuerriegel’s clean-shaven look turned heads, a stark contrast from his usual DiMera edge, while Telfer’s easy grin and relaxed confidence instantly stole the spotlight. The vibe was playful and self-assured, and the Days of Our Lives stars used the platform to raise awareness for men’s health, and clearly, both enjoyed every moment. You could almost feel the energy from the crowd as they sauntered, showing off their outfits, repping both style and substance.

Both Days of Our Lives actors took to the comments to lend their voices to the cause. Feuerriegel wrote, “Go get checked, Gentlemen,” while Telfer simply added, “So much fun!” — short, sincere, and straight from the heart.

Fans quickly filled the post with praise. @telfermania commented, “I love this so much! Job well done, Paul & Dan!” while @sharoncrigst added, “Love seeing their real life personalities! Shine!” Another fan, @dollycat2006, wrote, “Wow, the 2 sexiest men on Days!! And for such a good cause.” @eeyore1017 cheered, “Bravo, Paul & Dan! Superstars!”

There were plenty of compliments about their looks, too. @mrs.cat_darrow_bennett said, “Look at @thedanfeuerriegel & @paultelfer rock those blue jackets on that runway,” while @steeler.nation.girl noticed the transformation, writing, “Almost didn’t recognize @thedanfeuerriegel as he is all clean-shaved. Way to strut it, you two.” @pamelakbell didn’t hold back either, declaring, “Xander is fire.”

Whether it was fans marveling at their style, applauding their message, or just enjoying the rare glimpse of two of Salem’s biggest stars outside the chaos of their fictional town, one thing was clear — this runway moment struck a chord. The Days of Our Lives actors didn’t just walk for awareness; they walked as brothers in arms for men’s health, reminding everyone that strength, confidence, and compassion never go out of fashion.
