Kendall Jenner, Viola Davis and Andie MacDowell were among the big names who walked the runway for L'Oréal Paris' star-studded show at Paris Fashion Week on Sunday evening.

The sixth edition of L'Oréal Paris' Le Défilé Walk Your Worth event, held in celebration of women’s empowerment, took place under a lit-up Eiffel Tower in Paris as crowds cheered on from the sidelines.

Jenner, who was named L'Oréal Paris' newest international spokeswoman in July, closed out the catwalk in a shimmering floor-length silver dress with a lace-up bodice and matching strappy heels.

The 27-year-old model wore her hair in a high slicked-back ponytail as she posed and waved at the audience.

Davis, 58, surprised guests as she was joined on the runway by her husband Julius Tennon.

The Oscar-winning actress wore a black chiffon halterneck gown teamed with towering gold platform heels and deep red lipstick.

As the pair reached the end of the runway, Tennon, 69, walked off and brought their 13-year-old daughter Genesis onstage with them. The trio then posed for a photo together as the crowds cheered before Genesis returned to her seat.

The 78-year-old actress wore a silver sequin off-the-shoulder gown that was cinched at the waist with long draping sleeves and wore her hair loosely in a backcombed style.

Fanning, 29, looked ethereal in a light peach plunging dress embellished with silver embroidery as she wore her to the side in retro waves.

Eva Longoria, who is also a L'Oréal Paris spokeswoman, brightened up the runway as she wore a white feathered gown with a sweeping skirt and a high slit, teamed with white strappy heels to match.
