Molly-Mae Hague walks Paris runway alongside Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne
Former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague made her L’Oréal Paris runway debut on Monday alongside Kendall Jenner, a year after initially turning down the opportunity
Molly-Mae Hague made her runway debut for L’Oréal Paris on Monday, a year after initially declining the opportunity due to body confidence issues.
The 26-year-old former Love Island star joined Kendall Jenner, Heidi Klum, and Cara Delevingne at Paris City Hall for the show Liberty. Equality. Sisterhood. Because You’re Worth It. Mum-of-one Molly-Mae looked stunning in a silver satin gown and sparkling heels, sporting her new shorter hairstyle.
On her reality show Molly-Mae: Behind It All, Molly-Mae explained why she turned down the 2024 Paris show. "They did ask me to walk but I said no. It’s just not my bag. These legs weren’t cut out for this," she said at the time.
Watching rehearsals in a scene from her Amazon Prime show, she admitted: "I’m looking at everybody in here and they are absolutely impeccable. Imagine all the models walking down and then there’s me, I just would have felt really out of place."
She also reflected on how motherhood affected her confidence in emotional scenes. "I think having Bambi made me go on a real journey with my body. I have days where I get up and I don’t feel great. I’ve got a lot of stretch marks, my hips are a lot wider now.
"Every day there’s a pressure to look a certain way. Even though this show is all about empowering women and empowering different shapes and sizes, I just felt as though I wouldn’t have the confidence to walk on the catwalk."
Molly-Mae shared the runway with fellow Brit Rochelle Humes, 36, who has been a L’Oréal ambassador since 2021 and previously walked Paris Fashion Week.
The catwalk marked a milestone for Molly-Mae, who signed a reported seven-figure deal with L’Oréal last year. Monday night fulfilled her promise to take center stage after a year of hesitation and confidence issues as the former Love Island star proved she could embrace the runway with a newfound belief in herself.
