A year after saying “no” to modelling at Paris Fashion Week, Molly-Mae Hague strutted her stuff on the catwalk

Molly-Mae Hague finally had her big catwalk moment at Paris Fashion Week, a year after turning down the same high-profile opportunity.

The former Love Island star proved just how far she's come as she joined the likes of Kendall Jenner, Heidi Klum and Cara Delevingne for L’Oréal’s star-studded show at the city’s Hôtel de Ville. The mum-of-one showed off a cool, shorter hairdo as she strode down the runway in a silver satin gown and sparkly heels. But her night in the fashion spotlight was quite a turnaround for the star, who last year declined to take part after suffering a crisis of confidence.

Speaking on her Amazon Prime reality show, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, she explained, “They did ask me to walk [last year], but I said no. It’s just not my bag. These legs weren’t cut out for this.”

In footage that was filmed backstage at last year’s L’Oréal extravaganza, Molly-Mae, 26, is seen glancing at the top models taking part in rehearsals. She then says, “This is why I couldn’t walk, I’m looking at everybody in here and they are absolutely impeccable.
