L’Oréal Paris is launching its “biggest” experiential consumer event to date in London, UK, with a focus on inclusion and empowerment. 

Taking place from 19 to 23 September, the drugstore beauty brand’s ‘The Worth It Experience’ will offer ticketed masterclasses, talks, and hair, skin and make-up touch-ups.

Panel discussions will be hosted by “friends of the brand”, including TV presenter Rochelle Humes and L'Oréal Paris’s Global Director Of Make Up Val Garland. 

“As a brand with an enduring commitment to self-worth, we are incredibly excited to have the opportunity to share the world of L’Oréal Paris directly with consumers,” said Amelie Fortier-Cyr, GM of L’Oréal Paris UK&I.

“In a first-of-its-kind five-day event, there will be a diverse experiential line-up with something for everyone to enjoy.” 

The event concludes with L’Oréal Paris’s ‘Le Défilé – Walk Your Worth’ catwalk show at Paris Fashion Week being live streamed onto billboards in London tourist destination Piccadilly Circus. 

Ambassadors Cara Delevingne, Kendall Jenner (pictured above) and Simone Ashley will walk the runway.  

“L’Oréal Paris is passionate in its support for the empowerment of women and Défilé, our Paris Fashion Week runway show, is our most iconic expression of this belief,” said Fortier-Cyr.

“Featuring a line-up of our most famous ambassadors and, this year, streamed live on the famous Piccadilly Circus billboard, it is a true celebration of self-worth.” 

L’Oréal Paris is also hosting a 12-hour TikTok Shop livestream on 18 September to help ramp up awareness for ‘The Worth It Experience’.

The French beauty company is the first brand to livestream a full day of TikTok content onto London’s Piccadilly Circus billboard.
