Kendall Jenner headlines L’Oréal Paris annual show in sheer dress and romantic lingerie

L’Oréal Paris’s annual show during fashion month brought back the glamour and female-empowerment atmosphere. The 2026 edition took place at Place Joffre in Paris, where Kendall Jenner returned to the runway — this time leading the show rather than closing the event.

As Harper’s Bazaar reports, the supermodel brightened the runway with a radiant smile, walking in a nearly sheer black gown that draped around her body and fell to the floor. The creation had a high neckline and a very high thigh slit; the look was completed with black stiletto sandals and cream silk lingerie visible through the material. The moment came two days after Jenner walked for Bottega Veneta in Milan in another black look.

Walking behind her were famous names such as Viola Davis, Cara Delevingne, Eva Longoria, Simone Ashley, Jane Fonda, Andie MacDowell, Aja Naomi King, Kristen Bell and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who added to the evening’s diversity and glamour.

In a surprise, Céline Dion closed the show with a lively performance of “I’m Alive”. L’Oréal Paris is the official beauty partner for Céline’s Paris residency, which runs through May 29, 2027; according to Harper’s Bazaar, the performance was one of the most talked-about moments of the event.
