The stars were out for the Opening Ceremony of Olympic Games Paris 2024.

Celebrities were sighted enjoying and adding to the festivities with iconic Parisian landmarks and the River Seine serving as the dramatic backdrop.

Paris 2024 Olympians were serenaded as they “paraded” down the river by stars of the entertainment world, including Lady Gaga and Celine Dion.

Among those stars seen taking part in the many celebrations along the banks of the Seine and at red carpet — or, shall we say — rouge carpet events leading up the Opening Ceremony included: Shaun White and Nina Dobrev, Lindsey Vonn, Serena Williams, Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Snoop Dogg, Chrissy Teigan and John Legend, Kelly Clarkson (commentating for broadcaster NBC), Tyla, Queen Latifah, Rebel Wilson, Anna Wintour, Peyton Manning, and LeBron James (who is of course also competing in these Games), plus many, many more.

See all the celebrities who came out to celebrate the dramatic official opening of Paris 2024 below.
