Pia Wurtzbach made her return to the prestigious Le Défilé runway in Paris, L’Oreal’s annual showcase at Fashion Week, where she once again embodied beauty, empowerment, and global sisterhood.
The former Miss Universe was a vision in a beautiful red dress that complemented her glowing skin tone. The sleek, shiny silhouette moved effortlessly under the lights, adding to her commanding presence as she walked with confidence. Wurtzbach’s look struck the perfect balance between elegance and strength, capturing attention both onstage and online.
Sharing the moment on Instagram, she described the experience as “so empowering,” noting the honor of carrying the Philippines with her. “To walk alongside women from all over the world and carry the Philippines with me? That’s the real honor,” she wrote. “The theme ‘Liberty, Equality, Sisterhood’ says it best. When we walk together, we walk stronger. Always proud to remind every Filipina: We are seen, we are celebrated, and yes… we are always worth it.”
The runway event, held September 29 at the historic Hôtel de Ville, celebrated women’s empowerment and beauty expertise, with Kendall Jenner headlining the star-studded lineup.
Beyond Paris, Wurtzbach has also been a constant presence at global fashion weeks. Just before Le Défilé, she attended Bottega Veneta’s show in Milan, adding to her growing reputation as a style influencer since entering the fashion scene in 2023.
