PARIS — L’Oréal Paris ramped up its messaging Sunday, staging a runway display on the square overlooking the Eiffel Tower at Trocadéro — known as Parvis des Droits de l’Homme, or Human Rights Plaza.
The brand added “and Women’s” to the square’s name in French, which translates literally to “Rights of Man Plaza,” in line with the event’s theme, women’s empowerment, and to showcase the L’Oréal Stand Up Against Street Harassment cause.
Before its start, fans lined up to catch a glimpse of the brand ambassadors, including actors Helen Mirren, Amber Heard, Aja Naomi King and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau; singer-songwriters Yseult and Camila Cabello, and model Soo Joo Park.
They walked the runway through a crowd of dancers clad in white, with T-shirts sporting slogans like “Feminist and Feminine.”
The weather got the upbeat message; after torrential rain all morning, the skies cleared for the open-air show.
Heard lauded L’Oréal Paris for engaging the public with the program to challenge something that affects women and girls around the globe.
“I never thought in a million years I would desire or ever feel excited to walk in a fashion show,” said Heard, admitting she suffers from stage fright. “But I feel incredibly honored to be able to do that with L’Oréal Paris, because it is a brand that embodies to its very core the essence of female empowerment. It is the brand of femininity and feminism; it is the perfect expression of the two, and they do so through initiatives like Stand Up.”
Heard said she feels honored to be part of such a diverse group of spokespeople and support Stand Up in Paris, where the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed.
“It’s pretty iconic, so I say goodbye to stage fright — at least for a moment — and just pray I don’t trip,” she said.
Her personal style has shifted.
“I recently became a mother, so my fashion has changed a slight bit to accommodate,” said Heard, explaining she leans toward “looks that I feel powerful in, that I feel good in, that are beautiful — but that are effortless. I’m going with brands that offer something chic, but that are wearable for a mom on the go on little sleep, with only one hand free to get dressed.”
Heard is currently filming “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” then will shoot two films.
