Former Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach lit up Paris Fashion Week as she returned to the runway for L’Oréal Paris’ Le Défilé show held Sept. 29 at the Hôtel de Ville.
“Back on the Le Défilé runway with @lorealparis and it feels so empowering!” Pia captioned on Instagram, where she also expressed pride in carrying the Philippine flag at the international event.
“To walk alongside women from all over the world and carry the Philippines with me? That’s the real honor. The theme ‘Liberty, Equality, Sisterhood’ says it best. When we walk together, we walk stronger.”

She also left a message for Filipinas: “Always proud to remind every Filipina: we are seen, we are celebrated, and yes… we are always worth it.”
Fans quickly flooded her post with praise, calling her performance “empowering” and “graceful.”
Pia walked alongside global names including Kendall Jenner, Helen Mirren, Eva Longoria, Gillian Anderson, Andie MacDowell, Cindy Bruna, and Ariana Greenblatt. This marked her second consecutive appearance in the brand’s Paris Fashion Week runway showcase.
The beauty brand said this year’s show reimagined the French motto Liberté, Égalité, Sororité into a message of sisterhood and solidarity.
