The L'Oréal Paris Runway Show is one of the glitziest catwalks in the Paris Fashion Week calendar.

And supermodels Kendall Jenner, 30, Cara Delevingne, 34, and Heidi Klum, 53, led the powerful line-up of women storming the runway tonight in front of the Eiffel Tower.

The star-studded Le Défilé 2026 titled Express Your Worth took place at the Place Joffre in the capital – with a surprise performance from Celine Dion as she closed the show singing I'm Alive.

Celine is in the middle of a comeback residency in the French capital, after a battle with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) forced her to cancel her last tour in 2023.

The singer, 58, appeared to have the time of her life as she danced with the runway stars in a glamorous strapless velour gown after her surprise finale.

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.'
