Last week, the worlds of sports and fashion merged during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The city is known for its refined taste in style and certainly sprinkled its sartorial dust on celebrities and sports enthusiasts. While the activities were indeed a spectacle, the fashion trended toward personalization. By Beyonce advocates sporty chic Cynthia Erivo Championing bold glamour, each woman flaunted a certain feature je ne sais quoi comparable to the City of Light. Like a fine kitchen, each look unraveled balanced flavors and an attractive presentation.
The theme should have been ‘Be Yourself’ as everyone showed up when he or she saw fit. While South African singer Tyla donned a sultry athleisure fit, tennis icon Serena Williams chose the opposite end of the spectrum in a plain black suit. Also as Zendaya made a case for neat black shimmers, hip-hop queen Mary J. Blige nodded affirmatively to green prints. It was indeed a colorful weekend in terms of energy and tone. Paris is known as a fashion capital and the past week saw even more interesting additions to its good reputation.
The looks
Spaghetti straps are as durable as they are elegant, and Zendaya reminded us that this timeless trend will always be the right one. She wore a glittering black LV dress with spaghetti straps, simple heeled sandals and a mini bag to the prelude to the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Modeling in the meantime Cindy Bruna seemed to agree easily as she opted for a halterneck crochet dress for the same event. Lightweight, colorful and quirky: Bruna’s offering matched the cheerful atmosphere of summer.
Solange Knowles! The sound of her name alone creates anticipation in the fashion department. The singer lived up to her reputation in a pleated The Row 2025 Resort at the Watermill Center Annual Benefit. The pants showed off an asymmetrical neckline and she livened it up with chunky gold earrings. Meanwhile, her sister Queen Bey played with the colors of the American flag and showed her solidarity with her country ahead of the Olympics. She wore a crop top, a pleated mini skirt and an oversized bomber jacket, topped off with a baseball hat emblazoned with ‘2024’. Undoubtedly, both Knowles sisters understand how to chart a memorable course in fashion.
Cynthia Erivo was on a business trip in Paris with an elegant green dress, a chic hat and black pumps with checks. Her eclectic style crept in with her gold jewelry and extremely long nails. Mary J. Blige, green from head to toe, decided to brave the weather and put on boots. She stocked things up with piles of jewelry, because why not?
