What a difference a year can make! 12 months on from turning down the chance to walk the runway, Molly-Mae Hague has joined some of the biggest names in the business on the catwalk.
Molly-Mae took part in the L’Oreal fashion show in Paris on Monday and looked fabulous in a figure-hugging shimmering silver dress with a high neckline and long sleeves.
The influencer styled her new shorter hair into a chic do, wearing it down and looking full of confidence as she blew a kiss to the fashion fans in the audience.
Molly-Mae’s fans were delighted to see her on the runway, with one writing: ‘Knowing she’s nervous, knowing this is WAY out of her comfort zone, that she didn’t even want to do this last year! Get it Molly!’
‘Go on Molly! Our girl’s killing it,’ added someone else while many others said they were ‘so proud’ to see her overcoming her fears.
Molly-Mae had been asked to take part in the show in 2024 but turned down the offer as she didn’t feel confident enough to do so and thought she’d feel ‘out of place’.
She did attend the show and visited makeup artists backstage, where she was seen telling them on her Prime doc Molly-Mae: Behind It All: ‘They did ask me to walk but I said no.
‘It’s just not my bag. These legs weren’t cut out for this… I’m looking at everybody in here and they are absolutely impeccable,’ she added after spotting Kendall Jenner backstage.

Molly-Mae continued: ‘Imagine all the models walking down and then there’s me, I just would have felt really out of place. I think having Bambi made me go on a real journey with my body…
‘Even though this show is all about empowering women and empowering different shapes and sizes, I just felt as though I wouldn’t have the confidence to walk on the catwalk.’
Molly-Mae joined a gang of gorgeous women for the show on Monday, including models Heidi Klum and Cara Delevingne and actresses Helen Mirren and Jane Fonda.
