Popular cosmetic brand L’Oréal has once again hosted a glamorous, star-studded celebration of beauty in the City of Love, in what has become a yearly tradition for the makeup brand.
This year’s L’Oréal Paris Le Défilé Walk Your Worth show took place on September 23, 2024, at the iconic Place de l’Opéra in Paris and it celebrated women’s empowerment, inclusivity, and beauty while also featuring collaborations with several renowned designers.
One of the notable collaborations was with Mugler, who designed the stunning red corset-style dress which Kendall Jenner wore to perfection, further highlighted Mugler’s innovative and bold design aesthetic, perfectly aligning with the show’s theme of empowerment and innovation.
In addition to the fashion pieces, the beauty looks for the show were done by none other than L’Oréal Paris’ in-house Global Make-up Director, Val Garland, and hairdresser, Stéphane Lancien.
