Helen Mirren, Cheryl and Eva Longoria among stars celebrating female empowerment on L'Oreal catwalk

L'Oreal has hosted its annual runway show featuring an all-star cast of movie stars, singers and supermodels celebrating female empowerment on the sidelines of Paris Fashion Week.

"We have a rainbow of diversity on the catwalk today with Korea, Brazil, India and me from Mexico. Definition of beauty is different all over the world and to have one stage celebrating all of that difference is really remarkable."

Paris Fashion Week runs until October 1.
