The Opening Ceremony for the Paris Olympics was basically a celebrity red carpet.

The 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony was basically Hollywood on the Seine, with the City of Light transforming into celebrity central as A-listers from around the globe descended on Paris, turning the Olympic kickoff into a glamorous affair.

From pop singers to silver screen heartthrobs, the famous river became an impromptu red carpet as celebs sailed by on boats, waving to fans and paparazzi.

Designer gowns, million-dollar smiles, and more selfie opportunities than a Kardashian family reunion – this Opening Ceremony had it all. 

Take a look at which celebs we spotted at the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony below.

Celine Dion.

The legendary singer performed 'L'Hymne à l'amour' from a platform in the Eiffel Tower. 

Despite famously battling stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and spasms, Celine made a powerful and emotional comeback. It followed after she was previously forced to cancel the remaining dates of her Courage World Tour in May due to health struggles. 

Diagnosed in 2022, Celine has been vocal about her debilitating condition and its effect on her vocals, detailing her journey and the challenges in her documentary I Am: Celine Dion.
