The Paris 2024 Olympics Begin With A Prelude Of Stylish Guests

The world gathered in Paris for a night of glamour, as the Prelude to the 2024 Olympics kicked off the sporting extravaganza with impeccable style

Last night in Paris, a star-studded guest list joined LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, Comcast NBCUniversal chairman and CEO Brian Roberts, plus Grammy-winner Pharrell Williams for the Prelude – a celebration of the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games on the eve of the Opening Ceremony.

Co-hosted by Charlize Theron, Serena Williams, Rosalía, and Omar Sy, the festivities were held at the Frank Gehry-designed Fondation Louis Vuitton, transformed into a playground of sporting and styling panache. Guests enjoyed table tennis, foosball, archery, and more, alongside interactive installations curated by Pharrell himself.

Louis Vuitton dressed house ambassadors and friends of the maison such as Zendaya, Lous And The Yakuza, Eileen Gu, Naomi Osaka, and Natalia Vodianova, in striking looks by Nicolas Ghesquière.

Here, Bazaar Arabia has curated some of the best looks from last night’s Prelude event:
