Molly-Mae Hague took to the catwalk for L’Oréal Paris at Paris City Hall, marking her runway debut one year after initially declining the opportunity due to body confidence issues. The 26-year-old former Love Island star joined renowned models Kendall Jenner, Heidi Klum, and Cara Delevingne for the show Liberty. Equality. Sisterhood. Because You’re Worth It. Molly-Mae, a mother of one, appeared stunning in a silver satin gown and glittering heels, showcasing her new shorter hairstyle.
In her reality show Molly-Mae: Behind It All, Molly-Mae revealed her reasons for turning down the Paris show in 2024, citing discomfort with the idea of walking the runway. Reflecting on her experience watching rehearsals on her Amazon Prime show, she expressed feeling out of place among the impeccably poised models. She shared how motherhood had impacted her body confidence, acknowledging the pressures to conform to certain beauty standards despite efforts to empower women of different shapes and sizes.
Molly-Mae shared the runway with fellow Brit Rochelle Humes, a L’Oréal ambassador since 2021, who has previously graced Paris Fashion Week. This milestone event for Molly-Mae, who secured a significant deal with L’Oréal last year, demonstrated her growth and newfound self-belief as she finally embraced the spotlight after a year of hesitation and confidence struggles.
The audience witnessed Molly-Mae’s graceful presence as she blew a kiss at the end of the runway, debuting a striking silver gown and a refreshed look. She expressed her delight at modeling alongside the likes of Kendall Jenner, while Rochelle Humes exuded confidence on the catwalk in a chic black dress that highlighted her toned abs. The event showcased a mix of star power and empowerment, with both Molly-Mae and Rochelle proving their prowess beyond their television personas.
