12 A-listers who dazzled at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony
The Paris Olympics opening ceremony, which took place on Friday, July 26, was buzzing with A-listers. The unexpected downpour could not dim the glitz of the prestigious event as the celebs were impeccably dressed in their finery to enjoy the extravaganza from the banks of the River Seine. While some chose to pay subtle tribute to the hosting nation with simpler outfits, others went full glam. Here are 12 of the best-dressed celebrities spotted on the red carpet ahead of the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games.
1. Serena Williams
The tennis legend who rocked power dressing the previous day, chose an elegant red cocktail dress for the opening ceremony. Serena Williams styled her red gauze-ruched dress from Dolce & Gabbana with a pair of nude heels and a small red purse. For jewelry, she went with a ring, a pair of diamond studs, and a minimal diamond tennis bracelet.
2. Cynthia Erivo
Cynthia Erivo channeled her 'Wicked' character Elphaba as she walked the red carpet at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. Rocking a strapless emerald gown with a dramatic waist from Louis Vuitton, per Fashionista, the British actress looked nothing short of a queen. And those statement jewelry pieces including the earcuffs, rings, bracelets, and the gorgeous septum ring, added extra oomph to the ensemble. She completed her look with a pair of black slingback heels and a green hat.
3. Ariana Grande
Cynthia Erivo's 'Wicked' co-star Ariana Grande channeled her Barbie era in a custom soft pink dropped waist dress by Thom Browne for the opening ceremony. The songstress looked like a belle of the ball in matching pointed heels, white silk gloves, and her signature ponytail adorned with a pink bow.
4. Emma Chamberlain
Emma Chamberlain channeled her French girl aura as she styled a matching set from the Ralph Lauren Collection. The social media star paired her black pencil skirt with a high-collared peplum jacket, classic black stilettos, and a cute white purse. Staying true to the French aesthetic, Chamberlain tied her hair back with a middle parting and painted her lips red to complete the look.
5. Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson looked every bit of her ebullient self as she rocked a dark blue mini-dress with a bejeweled collar and border. The singer, who joined NBC sportscaster Mike Tirico as an official co-host for the opening ceremony, completed her look with metallic silver heels, bright red lipstick, and diamond studs, leaving her jewel-crusted dress to do all the talking.
6. Lindsey Vonn
Former alpine skier Lindsey Vonn opted to go with a navy Thom Browne suit for the event. She caught the attention of onlookers with Thom Browne's signature Hector dog bag, which was also adorned with colors of the French flag.
7. Vincent Cassell
Vincent Cassel and his ex-wife, Tina Kunakey, opted for elevated basics while attending the opening ceremony. The French actor chose a pair of beige trousers, an oversized white shirt, and an overcoat befitting the weather. Kunakey, on the other hand, paired a white spaghetti-strapped corset top with flowy black jeans.
8. Shaun White
Five-time Olympian Shaun White was feeling patriotic as he paired a puffy Team USA jacket with an ensemble of white chinos and a white polo. He kept the look cohesive by opting for a pair of white sneakers and black goggles.
9. Nina Dobrev
Nina Dobrev chose a Polo Ralph Lauren ensemble for the occasion. Like her partner, Shaun White, 'The Vampire Diaries' actress went for a mostly white outfit, consisting of a round-neck tee, shorts, and white Miu Miu loafers. However, to add contrast, she wore a black Ralph Lauren leather jacket with quilted shoulder panels and graphic patches and carried a black purse. The actress, who is recovering from a knee injury sustained during a bike accident, was also seen wearing a white knee brace.
10. Pharrell Williams
Pharrell Williams rocked the athleisure look like a pro as he paired his black Louis Vuitton jumper with black leather shorts. For his footwear, he chose a pair of comfortable sneakers which also went with the overall atmosphere of the sporting event.
11. Chrissy Teigen and John Legend
Chrissy Teigen turned into a show stopper as she rocked an olive green co-ord set from Chloe, featuring a cardigan and a pair of high-waisted shorts. She completed her look with a pair of strappy sandals as she smiled for the camera. John Legend, however, chose a classic black suit with gold buttons and paired it with a white button-down and white sneakers.
12. Peyton Manning
Former NFL star Peyton Manning, who joined Kelly Clarkson and Mike Tirico to co-host the opening ceremony, rocked a classic navy blue checked suit with a white shirt and a light blue tie. The two-time Super Bowl winner completed his look with a pair of brown leather shoes and a white pocket square.
