The L’Oréal Paris fashion show began with a drumroll and ended with Helen Mirren taking an epic bow.
L’Oréal Paris’ third fashion show, held Saturday evening at the majestic Paris Mint, began with a drumroll. Six-hundred guests, with Naomi Campbell, Olga Kurylenko and Louise Bourgoin sitting in the front row, waited for 32 of the brand’s ambassadors to make their entrances on the circular stage.
Mirren loves the backstage fashion-show experience. “It’s all chaos, and yet somehow they make sense of it, and then you line up and they go ‘OK, go,’” she said. “They walk out and look so calm the models, don’t they?”“The greatest contribution I’ve made to the planet is by not having any children, actually,” she said.
The actress is in a recently released movie, called “Ready or Not.” She’s also wrapped “No Man’s Land,” with Frank Grillo, and has a trip in the works. “I’ve had a dream for 30 years to go to India,” said MacDowell. She will attend a film festival there, in Kolkata. “Mature women are the biggest consumers in America,” said MacDowell. “Baby Boomers are the largest number of people, and we need to be represented.”
Longoria’s latest project is a movie for Fox Searchlight. “It’s about the guy who created the Flamin’ Hot Cheeto,” she explained. “He was the janitor at Frito-Lay, in the factory, and he came up with this product. It’s the number-one product. It saved the company, and he couldn’t even read or write when he started [there].”
That was a view shared by Aja Naomi King. “It’s so lovely to see a shift now, even with larger brands like H&M moving in a more sustainable direction and taking note about how people feel about not only the environment, but working conditions for people and wanting to make sure the things we incorporate in our daily lives are not things that are going to bring any harm to others,” she said.
Although she couldn’t reveal any upcoming modeling jobs, Park said having recently worked on creating a Karl Lagerfeld tribute shirt was exciting. “I got to show something more creative and artistic, beyond what I do as a model,” she said.
