The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles played host to a night of glamour and philanthropy on Tuesday, as L'Oreal Paris celebrated the 20th anniversary of its Women of Worth programme. The star-studded event saw model Kendall Jenner and her mother, Kris Jenner, leading the fashion pack on the red carpet.
Mother-Daughter Glamour Steals the Show
Kendall Jenner, 30, showcased her renowned style in a striking fuzzy white dress featuring a daring thigh-high slit. The Vogue cover girl complemented the ensemble with cream-coloured heels, wearing her dark hair in an elegant low bun. Her final touches included delicate makeup and a pair of classic gold hoop earrings.
Not to be outdone, Kris Jenner, 70, embraced the festive spirit in a vibrant red gown adorned with a black bow. The 'momager', fresh from her own celebrity birthday celebrations, layered the dress with a smart black blazer and gloves, completing the look with a chic clutch bag. The duo shared a joyful moment posing together, officially kicking off the holiday season in style.
A Constellation of Celebrity Style
The event attracted a host of other famous faces, each bringing their unique fashion flair. German supermodel Heidi Klum, 52, turned heads in a bold red blazer and matching lace-trimmed skirt, while Gillian Anderson, 57, captivated in a strapless black gown detailed with rhinestones.
Andie MacDowell, 67, looked stunning in a plunging plum halterneck dress, her silver curls cascading elegantly. Broadway and screen star Ariana DeBose, 34, sparkled in a deep red sleeveless gown, and host Sophia Bush, 43, shone in a metallic gold number.
The legendary Dame Helen Mirren, 80, proved her style icon status in a textured ice blue gown with a matching handbag. Other notable attendees included Niecy Nash-Betts, Stassi Schroeder, and Aja Naomi King, creating a dazzling array of red carpet fashion.
Celebrating Community Changemakers
Beyond the glamour, the evening held a significant philanthropic purpose. For two decades, L'Oreal Paris has used the Women of Worth initiative to recognise and support exceptional female community leaders. This year, ten honourees were celebrated, each receiving a $25,000 grant, along with valuable mentorship and increased visibility for their vital work.
The 2024 cohort includes inspiring figures such as Yasmine Arrington Brooks, Amy Bowers Cordalis, and Keely Cat-Wells, whose efforts span education, environmental justice, disability advocacy, and support for survivors. The event successfully fused Hollywood spectacle with a heartfelt celebration of altruism, marking two decades of empowering women who make a tangible difference.
