Mika Abdalla has made her Paris Fashion Week runway debut, walking in L'Oréal Paris Le Défilé on Monday, September 28. The Off Campus actress, who plays Allie Hayes in the Prime Video series, joined a lineup that turned Place Joffre into an open-air catwalk with the Eiffel Tower lit up behind it.
Abdalla's look was deliberately pared back. She reportedly wore a floor-length ivory satin gown with a strapless, straight bandeau neckline and a sleek column silhouette. She kept accessories minimal, with dainty earrings, a few statement rings and barely-there metallic silver heels. On a runway crowded with high-impact looks, the tonal, quiet styling let the fabric and the fit carry the outfit. Ivory satin is a familiar shortcut to elegance on a runway or red carpet, and here it gave Abdalla a clean first Paris look without competing with the setting.

The beauty look followed the same logic. Coverage of the show describes glowing skin, softly sculpted cheeks, defined eyes and a glossy nude-pink lip, a fresh finish that suited the pale gown. L'Oréal Paris USA also shared a video of Abdalla from the show on its official X account with the caption "Mika is the moment," a sign that the brand itself was highlighting her appearance.
The show is the ninth edition of Le Défilé, and this year it carried the theme "Express Your Worth." It officially opened Paris Fashion Week, which runs through October 6. L'Oréal Paris bills the event as a celebration of women's empowerment, inclusivity, freedom, confidence and sisterhood. The show is open to the public and was livestreamed on Instagram, TikTok and L'Oréal Paris's digital platforms, which helps explain why runway moments from it spread quickly online.

Abdalla was in busy company. Kendall Jenner opened the show in a sheer black high-neck dress with a thigh-high slit, and the cast included Heidi Klum, Jane Fonda, Viola Davis, Cara Delevingne, Eva Longoria, Simone Ashley, Andie MacDowell, Anitta and Lindsey Vonn. It was also a debut of sorts for Kristen Bell, who walked the brand's runway for the first time after being named a global ambassador in August. Céline Dion made a surprise appearance to close the show.
The runway turn comes as Abdalla's profile is rising. Off Campus is heading into a second season that adapts The Score, the third book in Elle Kennedy's series, and puts Allie and Dean Di Laurentis, played by Stephen Kalyn, at the center of the story. Paris gives her a different kind of visibility, one built on fashion and beauty rather than a series premiere.
