The Paris 2024 Olympics kicked off with a great event, hosted by Louis Vuitton. It drew in a glittering crowd of sports and entertainment elite. The evening was a demonstration of sports, fashion, and cultural cachet, set against the jaw-dropping backdrop of the Foundation Louis Vuitton, Frank Gehry’s architectural marvel.

Among the attendees were Charlize Theron, Serena Williams, Rosalía, Omar Sy, LeBron James, Mick Jagger, Zendaya, and Christian Louboutin, mingling amid arcade games and gourmet treats. But the real star of the night was Tyla, whose surprise performance stole the show.

The South African music star delivered a set that included crowd-pleasers like “Thata Ahh” “Jump” and “Water”.
