The Champs Elysees avenue in Paris
got a makeover on Sunday as a giant outdoor catwalk, as
celebrities and models took to the runway in the first show of
its kind by L'Oreal, the French cosmetics firm.

Movie stars such as Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren - who
twirled a cane as she strutted down the specially-erected runway
on the tree-lined boulevard - rubbed shoulders with models, some
of whom sported elaborate hairstyles and dramatic make-up.

Various fashion houses provided outfits for the show, which
drew crowds of tourists and onlookers. It coincided with Paris
Fashion Week, which runs until Oct. 3.
