Paris Fashion Week kicked off with a star-studded runway as L'Oréal Paris hosted its highly anticipated "Walk Your Worth" fashion show at the iconic Palais Garnier Opera House on September 23, 2024. The event, celebrating women's empowerment and inner beauty, brought together an array of L'Oréal Paris ambassadors, including Kendall Jenner, Eva Longoria, Jane Fonda, Viola Davis, and Camila Cabello. However, a heartwarming moment between veteran actress Andie MacDowell and Mexican singer-actress Belinda became the night's highlight.
The runway saw a powerful Latina presence, with Belinda, Anitta, Camila Cabello, Eva Longoria, Brazilian top model Luma Grothe, and Renata Notni all gracing the catwalk, representing the Spring-Summer 2025 collection. Each of them embodied the message of confidence, resilience, and empowerment, the core theme of the "Walk Your Worth" event.

Belinda, visibly shaken and emotional after the fall, listened closely to MacDowell's encouraging words. In a matter of seconds, the narrative shifted from embarrassment to empowerment, with the audience applauding the show of unity and strength on the runway.
