Something powerful happened in Nairobi on Saturday, March 7, 2026. L'Oréal Paris brought its globally celebrated "Worth It" initiative to Kenya, and the city answered with full energy.
The event, called Walk Your Worth, took place at Sarit Expo Centre from 6pm to 10pm. It was not your typical beauty showcase. The evening was built around a simple but bold idea: Kenyan women deserve to be seen, celebrated, and heard on a world stage.
The runway mixed high fashion with the textures and traditions of Kenyan culture. Local designers brought their vision forward, and the result was something that felt both global and deeply rooted at home. Leaders, creatives, and women doing quiet but extraordinary work in their communities all shared the same space that night.
Marie Van Haesendonck, Managing Director of L'Oréal East Africa, spoke to what the moment meant. She pointed out that Kenyan women are already leading in boardrooms, shaping communities, and pushing creative boundaries every single day. Walk Your Worth Nairobi was built to put a spotlight on those stories and send them further.
The Worth It initiative, which L'Oréal Paris runs across multiple countries, focuses on building confidence and encouraging women to own their individuality. In Nairobi, it took on a local identity, weaving in the specific stories of Kenyan women who have fought for their place and built something real from it.
The message from L'Oréal Paris was clear. When women know their worth, the impact does not stay personal. It moves into families, businesses, and entire communities. That ripple effect is exactly what this event was designed to celebrate and accelerate.
Kenya showed up. And L'Oréal Paris made sure the world was watching.
