The L’Oréal Paris runway show remains one of the most glamorous highlights on the Paris Fashion Week calendar.
Supermodels Kendall Jenner, 30, Cara Delevingne, 34, and Heidi Klum, 53, led a star-studded cast of women onto the runway in front of the Eiffel Tower on Monday night.
The star-studded Le Défilé 2026, titled Express Your Worth, was held at Place Joffre in the French capital. Celine Dion delivered a surprise performance at the finale, closing the show with her hit I’m Alive.
The 58-year-old singer is currently making her comeback in Paris after Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) forced her to cancel her previous tour in 2023.
Celine appeared to relish the celebratory moment, dancing alongside the runway stars after changing into a glamorous strapless velour gown for her surprise finale.
Kendall made a striking entrance in a semi-sheer black dress as she opened the show alongside fellow L’Oréal Paris ambassadors Eva Longoria, 51, Jane Fonda, 88, and Viola Davis, 61.

In 2024, Celine made a promise: ‘I’ll sing again’
After the fashion show had concluded, the catwalk appeared to be over before Celine emerged from the darkness to huge applause from the audience.
Belting out her hit song, she was then joined on stage by the night’s ensemble as they danced alongside the star.
The superstar is in the French capital for a five-week residency – after she recently shared that she has decided to make her devastating health battle ‘my reason for living’.
The singer revealed in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with SPS, or SPS, which causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms.
At its worst, the debilitating condition left her unable to walk properly or use her singing voice as she once had.
In 2024, Celine made a promise: ‘I’ll sing again.’
She continued: ‘I made a promise to be back on stage. So here I am, singing for you and singing for me, singing live! Thank you so very much for your support, your patience and if I may say so, I am everything I am because you loved me,’ she then said in English.
Speaking of the uphill battle she waged with her health, she said: ‘By living with it day in and day out, I’ve come to terms with it. And I’ve decided to make it my reason for living.’
She continued: ‘But look around here – all around you, right here in this room – we don’t know what the person next to us is going through.
‘There are people going through hardships, grief and sorrow. There are people radiating energy and joy. So let’s take that energy and share it. That’s what music is for. Tonight, we’ll sing, we’ll dance and we’ll celebrate.’
