PARIS (Reuters) – The Champs Elysees avenue in Paris got a makeover on Sunday as a giant outdoor catwalk, as celebrities and models took to the runway in the first show of its kind by L&lsquo-Oreal, the French cosmetics firm.
Movie stars such as Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren – who twirled a cane as she strutted down the specially-erected runway on the tree-lined boulevard – rubbed shoulders with models, some of whom sported elaborate hairstyles and dramatic make-up.
Various fashion houses provided outfits for the show, which drew crowds of tourists and onlookers. It coincided with Paris Fashion Week, which runs until Oct. 3.
