The 7th edition of Le Défilé was presented with the message ‘Walk Your Worth’, in which every woman was not only invited to shine, but also to stand up for her voice and self-esteem.
On the afternoon of September 23, 2025, Paris became the stage for an event celebrating beauty, diversity and empowerment.
In front of the majestic façade of the Paris Opera House, a catwalk was erected in the spirit of sisterhood, inclusivity, and personal pride. It was the seventh edition of Le Défilé: a celebration of femininity in all its forms and intensities.
More than 3,000 guests awaited a show that unfolded in six acts, six scenes where fashion ceased to be just clothing and became a statement.
The lights painted silhouettes of strength and vulnerability, of identity and pluralism.
Different faces, different ages, different bodies: all of them came together in a single narrative.
Accessibility was an essential part of the event.
This year, Le Défilé did not confine itself to an exclusive salon: it took the catwalk to the streets, opening its doors to anyone who wanted to watch, share and feel like part of the event. Fashion and beauty became a spectacle for everyone.
But perhaps the most powerful moments occurred during the silences: when a heel struck the floor, when a dress opened with a twist, when a glance defied convention.
Because beauty in this show was not something unique, but rather a symbol of pluralism and diversity.
An invitation, without a doubt, to recognise oneself, to celebrate oneself, to walk proudly towards one’s desired destination.
Once the show was over, it became clear that this fashion show offered much more than any other: when the lights went out, there was no doubt that beauty can be revolutionary, capable of becoming the source of change; that every step, under the spotlights of a catwalk or on the street, can be a true act of recognition and affirmation.
Le Défilé 2025 was not just a L’Oréal fashion show: it was an ode to individual and collective courage, a reminder that fashion and beauty can — and should — serve as vehicles for inclusion, respect and empowerment.
The curtain has fallen, but the echo remains: loud, clear, elegant.
