The two septuagenerian queens graced the Champs-Elysees catwalk as part of an inclusive cast that included models and brand ambassadors from every walk of life. During the show, the 72-year-old Mirren strutted down the runway in a menswear-inspired look while swinging a cane, which she jauntily used to point to lucky members of the audience. Fonda, [never one to shy away from glamour even at age 79](http://time.com/money/4946132/jane-fonda-emmys-2017/), sported a tiger-striped Balmain gown and stopped to give supermodel Naomi Campbell a hug as she worked the runway. According to _People,_ both Fonda and Mirren have worked with L’Oreal since 2014\.
