When you begin to scroll, rest assured that your eyes are deceiving you. Indeed, a bevy of stars lit up Paris tonight night for a Prelude to the Olympics. LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, Comcast NBCUniversal chairman and CEO Brian Roberts, Grammy-winner and Louis Vuitton men’s creative director Pharrell Williams, and Vogue's Anna Wintour welcomed an illustrious group of athletes, artist and entertainers to Fondation Louis Vuitton one the eve of the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony.
There, Charlize Theron, Serena Williams, Rosalía, and Omar Sy hosted a game night-themed fete that saw celebs flexing their skills on a massive foosball table, taking aim at archery targets dreamed up by KAWS, and practicing their jump shots with Tiffany blue basketballs. The “medal worthy”dress code inspired LeBron James to opt for Louis Vuitton, Rosalía to slip into a gilded Dior number, and several guests to arrive in elevated tennis whites. And in a city known for both fashion and food, the later was —the menu included caviar topped potatoes and decadent ravioli prepared by Michelin-starred chef Jean Imbert.
“We appreciate your present and we appreciate your energy—on this very special eve of what we all believe is going to be the most phenomenal Olympics,” Pharrell said to the crowd. The wondrous scene was captured by photographers Marco Bahler, German Larkin, and Morgan O’Donovan.
