Céline Dion surprises on the L'Oréal Paris runway at the foot of the Eiffel Tower alongside Kendall Jenner, Eva Longoria, Ana Milán and other great stars

The Paris Fashion Week has kicked off with one of its most anticipated shows. At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, L’Oréal Paris has once again turned its traditional Le Défilé into a true star gathering, with models, actresses, singers, and sports figures sharing the runway under the motto Express Your Worth.

The show, held this September 28 in Place Joffre, brought together some of the brand's most well-known ambassadors, from Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne to Eva Longoria, Jane Fonda, Andie MacDowell, and Viola Davis. Among the Spanish representatives, the event featured Ana Milán, while the presences of Elodie, Isabella Ferrari, and Bebe Vio also stood out.

But if there was a moment capable of eclipsing the rest, it came at the end of the night. Céline Dion made a surprise appearance on the runway to close the show, creating one of the most talked-about images of the evening.

Céline Dion, the big surprise of the night

Dressed in black and with her characteristic stage presence, the Canadian singer put the finishing touch to the show by performing I'm Alive. Her appearance was not among the major prior hints of the event and ended up becoming one of the most emotional moments of the night.

After her performance, Dion reunited with the rest of the L’Oréal Paris ambassadors in a collective embrace that summarized the spirit of the event: a celebration of women from different generations, backgrounds, and trajectories.

The singer is in Paris for her return to the stage, and her presence added an especially emotional component to a night that had already brought together a good part of the brand's international family.

Kendall Jenner opens the show and Elodie conquers Paris again

The person in charge of opening the runway was Kendall Jenner, one of the great protagonists of the event. The model appeared shortly after nine at night in front of the Eiffel Tower, in a show conceived more as a celebration of beauty than as a presentation of a conventional fashion collection.

Elodie also shone, once again demonstrating her connection with the brand. The Italian singer paraded in a striking red dress with a train, smokey eyes and nude lips, in a brief but attitude-filled appearance.

For her part, Isabella Ferrari added the Italian accent alongside Elodie. The actress opted for an oversize suit covered in rhinestones, accompanied by cherry-toned lips and her characteristic blonde bob styled with waves.

From Jane Fonda to Cara Delevingne: ageless beauty

One of the great attractions of Le Défilé is once again the diversity of generations sharing the spotlight on the runway. At 88 years old, Jane Fonda once again proved that age is not a limit for glamour. Alongside her, Andie MacDowell opted for an elegant white styling and unusually straight hair, while Eva Longoria wore long, dark hair with a glossy finish.

Cara Delevingne also caught attention, continuing her transformation towards dark brown hair. The model wore her hair with texture and a prominent fringe, bringing an eighties-inspired aesthetic to the show. The lineup was completed with names like Simone Ashley, Kristen Bell, Heidi Klum, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, and Aishwarya Rai, among many others.

Beyond beauty trends, L’Oréal Paris has once again used its major Parisian event to send a message of inclusion, diversity, and female empowerment. A runway where different ages, cultures, styles, and backgrounds coexist, and whose main draw, once again, are its protagonists. 

And this time, with an unexpected final coup de grâce: Céline Dion, coinciding with her return to the stage, singing under the Eiffel Tower surrounded by some of the brand's most well-known celebrities.
