The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris officially kicked off Friday with a vibrant opening ceremony celebrating the best athletes in the world, a storied host country, and the worldwide diversity on display. Paris, of course, is one of the world's most fashionable cities, so each country was expected to bring its A-game to the fashion show that just so happened to be the Opening Ceremony of this year's games. This year's boat parade along the River Seine was the first of its kind, and the first to happen outside of a stadium .
As the athletes from each nation sailed through to the Eiffel Tower, we got a great look at every country's unique outfit choices. Fashion is one of the purest forms of expression, and the opening ceremony outfits are a unique opportunity for countries to celebrate their cultures on the world stage. Team USA's Ralph Lauren-designed outfits didn't exactly inspire national pride due to the 2003 denim aspect of it all, but at least Jayson Tatum taught Derrick White how to tie a tie.
Derrick White was asked if he knew how to tie a tie ahead of Opening Ceremonies at the Paris Olympics:"I do, I watched JT's tutorial."(Via @usabasketball on IG) pic.twitter.
