L'Oréal Paris celebrates 10 new Women of Worth honorees

L'Oréal Paris celebrated ten new Women of Worth honorees last night in a star-studded event in New York City. It wasn't just star-studded because they were joined by several of their celebrity spokeswomen like Karlie Kloss, Julianne Moore and Eva Longoria, but we're talking about some incredible women being recognized.

We had a chance to speak with Karlie Kloss, who looked dazzling in a white Rosie Assoulin Resort 2016 gown, about the women in her life. The one she looks up to the most in her life? "Honestly my Gram who passed away a few years ago," Karlie said. "I'm reminded of her every day and she sort of instilled values in my sisters and I, and instilled a way of thinking about others. She was incredibly caring and thoughtful and I think she really taught all of us that. She inspires me even still."

As a student, model, L'Oréal Spokesperson and so much more, Karlie has a million and one things going on in her life at any time. When we asked if she'd keep modeling forever or sees a career change in the future, she said "I would love to model for as long as L'Oreal will have me and I think that in this day and age, women can do it all."
