Beyoncé fashionably introduces Team USA at the Paris Olympics

The clip also served a statement fashion moment, with Queen B posing in a red, white, and blue bodysuit and Thom Browne opera coat topped with the Olympic rings.

Lady Gaga & Celine Dion kick off Olympics with starry performances 

Bonjour! The Olympic Games were off to a dynamic start, courtesy of Lady Gaga and Celine Dion. Gaga kicked off the the event’s opening ceremony with flair, performing Zizi Jeanmaire’s “Mon Truc En Plumes” in a feathered Dior Haute Couture jacket, skirt, bustier, and panties on the Seine. Later that evening, Celine Dion powerfully returned to the stage—in fact, the Eiffel Tower—to sing “L’Hymne à l’amour” by Édith Piaf, also draped in a long beaded Dior Haute Couture dress. The moment notably marked Dion’s first live performance since being diagnosed with stiff person syndrome in 2022 and she was sublime!
